Deadline:
A big series project is about to hit the markeplace — a Rush Hour hourlong action comedy based on the blockbuster movie franchise. I’ve learned that Warner Bros. TV has closed deals for the project, which will be co-written/executive produced by one of studio’s top showrunners, Bill Lawrence. The movie franchise’s director Brett Ratner and producer Arthur Sarkissian will serve as executive producers.
Written by Cougar Town co-creator Lawrence and the series’ executive producer/showrunner Blake McCormick, Rush Hour is expected to stay close to the premiere of the original movie, with a stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police officer, played in the features by Jackie Chan, to a case in Los Angeles, where he’s forced to work with a cocky black LAPD officer, originally played by Chris Tucker, who has no interest in a partner.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
If they get the right characters to play the parts and the writing is good...it might work.
No, No...and No
Jackie Chan isn't getting any younger, I would like to see one good, well made Rush Hour film before this sort of thing happens
Jackie needs to do Rush Hour 4 and Shanghai Dawn before he retires.
You can't replicate his and Chris Tuckers chemistry, it's something which made me enjoy the RH films in general. Same goes for Owen Wilson and Jackie in the Shanghai films.
Trying to get me to watch tv again eh :p
