Ask and you shall receive … at least, if you’re Donald Trump — ’cause apparently “Rush Hour 4” is happening at his request, with Paramount now gearing up to roll out the next Jackie Chan–Chris Tucker buddy-cop smash.
Trump’s pulling his pal Brett Ratner back into the mix, per Semafor … he wants BR to revive the franchise that originally put his directing career on the map — yup, the same director whose career hit the brakes after multiple #MeToo sexual-assault allegations in 2017.
Trump’s really keeping Ratner booked and busy … the guy’s also directing the “Melania” doc, which Amazon Prime snapped up for a whopping $40 mil and is dropping in Jan 2026.
Paramount’s handling the release on behalf of Warner Bros — snagging a nice double-digit cut for the trouble. This all went down after a bunch of studios passed on the project due to Ratner’s involvement … including Warner Bros’ own New Line, which made the first three flicks.
No doubt, on paper this should’ve been hype film news — Hollywood eats sequels and reboots for breakfast, and the first films are straight-up pop-culture classics.
But with Ratner’s scandals and all the political baggage tied to this reboot, the vibe is already feeling … off. Let’s just say, don’t expect a smooth ride into “Rush Hour 4.”
