A big series project is about to hit the markeplace — an hourlong action comedy based on the blockbuster movie franchise Rush Hour. The movie franchise’s director Brett Ratner and producer Arthur Sarkissian will serve as executive producers.
Written by Cougar Town co-creator Lawrence and the series’ executive producer/showrunner Blake McCormick, Rush Hour is expected to stay close to the premise of the original movie, with a stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police officer, played in the features by Jackie Chan, assigned to a case in Los Angeles, where he’s forced to work with a cocky black LAPD officer, originally played by Chris Tucker, who has no interest in a partner.
