Rush Hour 4 Reportedly greenlit Following Larry Ellison Intervention, Driven by trump Support
Los Angeles, CA – A fourth installment in the Rush Hour franchise is reportedly moving forward, fueled by a complex series of events involving Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, his son David Ellison, and direct requests from former President Donald trump. The project’s revival hinges on a potential merger between Paramount and warner Bros. Revelation, with Paramount having reportedly made a proposal to acquire warner, the studio holding the rights to Rush Hour.
The impetus for the film’s resurrection allegedly stems from Trump’s desire to see the franchise return, prompting Ellison – a known supporter – to leverage his influence. Larry Ellison is reportedly arranging the merger and intends to place his son, David Ellison, as CEO. This move would position Paramount to acquire Rush Hour and greenlight a fourth film.
The project’s comeback also offers a potential career resurgence for director brett Ratner, who has faced industry ostracization. ratner previously directed the first two Rush Hour films. His involvement is seen as a outcome of pressure from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Trump, potentially leading to a softening of principles within the industry. Ratner’s recent work includes the documentary Melania, purchased by Amazon for $40 million.
Producer Arthur Sarkissian, head of the company behind the Trump-focused documentary the Man You Don’t know, is also involved in the potential revival.The situation raises questions about the potential for future political influence on film production, with speculation about potential projects centered around Trump himself.
