    SORKIN: Is it appropriate for Trump to ask Larry Ellison to make a new Rush Hour film? BESSENT: I don't know. The Obamas contract with Netflix, is that appropriate? SORKIN: My understanding is that came after he was president. That's the distinction

    the last Rush Hour movie came out in 2007 and had a significantly lower box office than 2, and now you're reviving it 20 years later as a personal vanity project of the unpopular President? just one more data point for "David Ellison is going to run Paramount right into the fucking ground"

    It’s been obvious we’re in the dumbest timeline for a while, but we’re going to next level. The President of the United States has expended time and energy to get a new instalment of his favourite nineties film franchise, Rush Hour, a buddy cop series with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. It worked.

    There are two pieces of news that are not fully confirmed: The first, that Rush Hour 4 has reportedly been greenlight at Paramount after US President Donald Trump intervened to make the movie possible. The second, from MS Now, is that reportedly Trump is weighing removing FBI director Kash Patel.

    I always thought it was weird that racist ass Trump was going to bat for a Rush Hour sequel -- a movie about a black man and an asian man teaming up together. Turns out he was just going to bat for director Brett Ratner because Ratner was a friend of Epsteins and they both liked underage girls.

    Its like the "RUSH HOUR" thing. They will probably *not* really make that movie with a basically-retired Chris Tucker and very old Jackie Chan. But they WANTED "We said 'yes!' to The President's favorite movie!" as a headline on TV because they think this is good branding right now.
