Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan has made a few interesting comments in his online diary regarding the shooting of "Rush Hour 3", currently underway in Paris. Of co-star Chris Tucker he wrote "He is a real professional now. He comes to the set on time, he cares about the environment, the cast, and the crew. I find that he has become a quiet person and is rather introspective" and "He also has great concentration and focus. All these changes I see in him make me love him more". He had similarly kind words for director Brett Ratner, saying "Although our director's personality is the same (he has ADHD -- Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and he still acts like a big baby (he's always enthusiastic, energetic, and easily excited), he has really become an experienced filmmaker", adding "He knows which camera angles he wants to use and he has complete control of the set". The shoot seems to be going fine, with a large fountain apparently having to be drained for one action scene, though Chan did not give any further details.

What the...Yao Ming is really gonna be in this? Looked on IMDB and he was on there thats crazy...I wanna see that tall man kick someone in the head hard in the movie and see what happens lol.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

All things considered this movie should be great, but I'm sorta suprised Vinnie Jones is the only X-Men alumni that followed him.

Woohoo.

Why?

 

[Retroman]

Whether you like Ratner or not he always gets some great actors to work on his movies.

Wasn't Aishwarya Rai, who looks like a goddess, supposed to star in this?

In Rush Hour 3, Roman Polanski will play a French police officer who harasses Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan's characters in several scenes while the stars battle a wing of a Chinese organized-crime family. The film is currently shooting in Paris.

Director Brett Ratner told Variety that he persuaded Polanski to appear after a chance encounter while in pre-production in Paris. "Roman is my favorite director and my favorite actor, so I asked Jeff Nathanson to write him into the movie," he said.

Rush Hour 3 hits theaters on August 10.

Van Damme Definitely Not In Rush Hour 3
Exclusive: He made the whole thing up

Earlier this year there was much internet ballyhoo about the return of Jean Claude Van Damme to the action blockbuster, playing the villain in next year's Rush Hour 3. It pains us a little to say this, but it's all lies. Van Damme confirmed to Empire that he will not be in the third in the Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker action franchise. In fact, he admits, he actually made the whole thing up himself.

"You know," he laughs, "it was just a comment, a joke, that I made during an interview. I said, “We’ve got Jackie, we’ve got Chris Tucker — what about me, making it a trio?” And this became something. But to be honest with you, if I did a comedy, I wouldn’t want to do something like Rush Hour, more a Lethal Weapon type of action comedy, something with a sense of reality. Like, for example, that movie with Bobby De Niro and that guy in handcuffs". He's talking about either Midnight Run or some De Niro home movie that's going to cause quite a scandal. Almost definitely the former.

Rush Hour 3 sees the mismatched buddies getting mixed up with the Triads in Paris and will be released, sans Van Damme, next summer. But, really, why would you now bother to see it?

 

[Warhammer]

I actually wouldn't have minded Van Damme as a/the villain.

Yes, he was persistent on getting her but she didn't have time in her schedule to do this movie.

They should have waited for her damnit!!!

 

[Reek]

And he's in talks to reprise his role as Smokey for "Last Friday".

If that ever did happen, I'd be the first to go see it.
Craig and Smokey would be great.

Is Roselyn (Sanchez) in this? That's all it would take for me to go and watch this on opening day.

Never trust IMDB. Some of the stuff they put on there before a movie comes out is crap.

 

[Crooklyn]

Actually he is in the film.
