Jackie Chan Denies That Rush Hour 4 is in The Works
Fans hoping for a fourth Rush Hour film, I have some bad news for you. Jackie Chan has spoken out to deny reports that a fourth film is in the works, issuing a statement via his official website denying the news.
The reports began popping up after Chris Tucker shared a post on Instagram of himself and Chan with four fingers up. That caused a fair amount of speculation, but apparently there has been more than speculation as Chan’s statement suggests that someone is purposely trying to promote false information and “appropriating” the email and WeChat accounts of Esmond Ren, a producer on Chan’s recent films.
The statement reads, “We have noticed that false information that Mr. Chan would act in the motion pictures Rush Hour 4 and The Karate Kid 2 is spreading through multiple social media platforms, and that certain apparently infringing parties have misappropriated the personal WeChat and email accounts of Mr. Esmond Ren, a motion picture industry professional, to release false information concerning the hiring of the crew, casting, audition and other matters in connection with the pictures Rush Hour 4 and The Karate 2. With respect to the above information, on behalf of Mr. Chan, we hereby declare that any and all such information, as spread by such infringer relating to Mr. Chan providing or about to provide acting services in the motion pictures Rush Hour 4 and/or The Karate Kid 2 is false; any relevant information released by any infringer through appropriating the personal WeChat and email accounts of Mr. Esmond Ren is false, and Mr. Chan does not have anything to do with such released information or the content thereof.”
