After months of speculation ranging from filming is imminent to the whole thing is off, New Line announced today that all the principals are in place and Rush Hour 3 will begin filming next Summer. A Summer 2007 release is still being targeted.
It's rumored that Chris Tucker will receive $20 million for the role plus 20% of the film's gross. Co-star Jackie Chan gets $15 million plus 15% of the gross, while director Brett Ratner is also back on board.
