Paramount Will Distribute Next RUSH HOUR and It’s Messy

Paramount will distribute Rush Hour 4, a development that comes with several complications and shifts from its original New Line/Warner Bros. distribution. The film will be produced and directed by Brett Ratner, who previously faced sexual assault accusations and recently directed a documentary about Melania Trump. Reportedly, the Rush Hour films are a favorite of Donald Trump, who is friends with Larry Ellison, the father of Paramount owner David Ellison. This connection has led to speculation about political influence on Paramount's film choices. Additionally, Jackie Chan, the film's star, has adopted a strong pro-Beijing stance in recent years. These various factors make Rush Hour 4 a more controversial prospect than its predecessors.
