Never really cared much about the movies, but I love Bill Lawrence, so we'll see.

Rush Hour To Be Remade As Action Series From Bill Lawrence & Brett Ratner by Nellie Andreeva A big series project is about to hit the markeplace a Rush Hour hourlong action comedy based on the blockbuster movie franchise. Ive learned that Warner Bros. TV has closed deals for the project, which will be co-written/executive produced by one of studios top showrunners, Bill Lawrence. The movie franchises 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, assigned to a case in Los Angeles, where hes forced to work with a cocky black LAPD officer, originally played by Chris Tucker, who has no interest in a partner. Produced by Warner Bros. subsidiary New Line Cinema, Rush Hour was a sleeper hit when it came out in 1998, launching a successful three-movie franchise that has grossed more than $500 million domestically and more than $845 million worldwide. (Below is the trailer foe the original movie). There had been a lot of talk about doing another sequel, with Chan indicating as recently as last month that Warner Bros. was still interested in doing a fourth Rush Hour film, but there is nothing actively in the works. Rush Hour, from WBTV and Lawrences studio-based Doozer, marks a second big project for Doozer this season. A comedy from Tommy Johnagin, Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker recently landed a pilot production commitment from CBS. The ICM Partners-repped company also has series Undateable on NBC as well as Cougar Town and Ground Floor on TBS. Before joining Cougar Town, McCormick, repped by UTA and Kaplan Perrone, worked on Foxs King Of The Hill. Rush Hour joins another big movie title, Minority Report, which was sold as a series to Fox with a put pilot commitment. |
