Paramount will reportedly release Rush Hour 4 after Donald Trump personally requested the revival of the action franchise.
The US president is understood to have urged Larry Ellison, the billionaire Oracle founder who owns Paramount, to release the next iteration of the buddy-cop series starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.
It has been almost two decades since Rush Hour 3 was released, and there has been no movement on the sequel since Warner Bros cut ties with the franchise’s director Brett Ratner in 2017 in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations.
Several studios were approached about releasing the new Rush Hour, for which there is already a script, but Mr Ratner’s involvement reportedly put them off.
The films are reportedly among some of Mr Trump’s favourites.
