New Line Rushes Hour 3 Ahead
After years of dealmaking, New Line has finally signed the key players in making RUSH HOUR 3 happen, according to VARIETY.
The longtime hold out Chris Tucker will receive $20 million against 20% of gross, as well as a second-picture commitment for $20 million on a film to be determined later. The actor will not hold script approval as long as the final draft is similar to what writer Jeff Nathanson pitched.
Co-star Jackie Chan will net $15 million against 15% of the gross as well as control the films distribution rights in China and Hong Kong.
