Scribe Jeff Nathanson has two jobs most screenwriters would envy - penning the next entries in the "Indiana Jones" and "Rush Hour" franchises. Today, Variety reports one of those potential sequels has hit a stall and it ain't the one you'd think.

It seems that Chris Tucker has had another about-face and failed to sign a $20 million deal that would fast-track New Line's "Rush Hour 3." The studio had made an agreement with Tucker, Jackie Chan and helmer Brett Ratner to pay Nathanson - who penned "Rush Hour 2" - to write a treatment. If they liked Nathanson's pitch, each would waive script approval. But Tucker changed his mind at the last moment, and New Line refused to cut a check to Nathanson unless it knew the film would get made. New Line hoped the film would anchor its summer 2006 slate.

According to Variety, Chris Tucker just rejected the script penned by Jeff Nathanson, who also wrote the second Rush Hour. Jackie Chan has already said he did not like the series but he would do it again for his fans. If both leads are not happy about the project, just let it end now.

^^Rush Hour 3 can be possibly cancelled. I hope not for a sake.

Jackie Chan has already said he did not like the series but he would do it again for his fans.

Now this explains his crap movies! Even though he doesn't like it, he does it jsut for his fans! Now that's what I call passion... doing for the fans even though it sucks.

do sweat off my forehead. Jackie Chan needs to stop making movies in the USA and go back to China, his best movies were the one's he made over there.

I agree with you. Sadly... Hollywood people are not treating Jackie Chan really well.

I rather do Jackie do a movie he liked than do a one he didn't care for that much.

New Police Story was a great movie.

Well, can't say I'm dissapointed about this. Rush Hour 2 was no where near as good as the first, there's no need for a number 3.
