Chris Tucker confirms he is reuniting with Jackie Chan for Rush Hour 4 movie
The 46-year-old actor told The Plug podcast is back working with the martial arts star after an 11 year break
CHRIS Tucker has confirmed he has reunited with Jackie Chan to film a Rush Hour 4 movie.
The 46-year-old actor has starred alongside the martial arts expert in three films for the franchise, and speaking to ESPN podcast, The Plug, he confirmed a fourth is already in the works.
He said: "Yes we're working on it now, me and Jackie, It's definite. It's happening.
"This is going to be the one. This is gonna be the rush of all rushes.
"Jackie is ready and we want to do this so that people don't ever forget it."
It's been 11 years since the men starred as LAPD Detective James Carter and Detective Inspector Lee of the Hong Kong Police Force, respectively.
Chris joked the fourth instalment of the franchise has already been nicknamed "Grumpy Old Rush Hour."
Jackie, 63, previously revealed a script was in the works back in October while on Power 106 LA's The Cruz Show.
He said at the time: "Yesterday, we just agreed.
"The script probably at the end of this month will have a second draft, and next year, probably [we will] start.

"I hope - if Chris Tucker agrees."
Thankfully his co-star did sign up but as yet there has been no confirmation of a release date.
The first Rush Hour movie was released way back in 1998 and despite dismal reviews, became a fan favourite.
This led to 2001's sequel and then 2007's Rush Hour 3, with the trilogy amassing an impressive combined $849 million at the box office worldwide.
It also spawned a TV spin-off in 2016 starring Justin Hires and Jon Foo but it was cancelled by CBS after one season.
