From cinemablend, Chris Tucker has finished his work on this year’s mindless sequel, Rush Hour 3 so what’s next on his plate? Never one for originality, Tucker is looking at doing another sequel to another one of his franchise films. Apparently Ice Cube has expressed interest in getting Tucker back for a fourth Friday film and Tucker is open to the idea.
Actually, such a description is a little strong for the commitment Tucker actually made. The annoying-voiced actor told the MTV Movies blog, “I would love to, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it. But come with a great script and I’ll consider it. We’ll see.”
It’s kind of funny to hear that he’s not sure he would be able to do it. As of right now, Tucker’s schedule is free, at least from any known film projects, and as of late the actor has been somewhat difficult to commit to any new movies. Considering the few movies Tucker has actually done, the $25 million paycheck attached to the actor is a little steep. In fact, it’s been a decade since Tucker did anything that didn’t have the title Rush Hour, but he’ll have to see if he’ll be able to do a Friday sequel. Sure, I’m sure the offers are rolling in… or something is rolling.
Tucker told MTV that the first Friday film is special to him because it only took 20 days to make and cost $2 million to make. I doubt he’s so impressed with that simplicity that he’d be willing to waive his current asking price, however. Consider another Friday with Tucker unlikely.

Totally unrelated to Chris Tucker, who is too lame to comment on.
We saw "Bourne" last night! Excellent overall. Too much shaky-cam for me though. Rick said at times it was kind of like watching "Transformers," is that a leg or an elbow?
We decided that number 2 is our favorite of the series. Have you seen that yet JPX?
I copied the 2nd one a long time ago but I never watched it. I definitely plan on it since it appears to be everyone's fave.
Oh, I don't know. I like the first one a lot, and it has a different, non shaky-cam director.
But wait! I'm about to say something negative about Chris Tucker.
25 million dollar price tag? Since freakin' when? I like the guy, but that's ridiculous.
I don't dislike him like I used to, but I find Chris Rock far more annoying. His schtick in Lethal Weapon 4, for instance, is dreadful. However, that might be a bad movie to hold up as any sort of example for any reason.
I agree about Rock and I like Tucker in Friday, he was hilarious!
Sadly, he never was again.
Back to "Bourne," for a moment - I agree that the first one was very good and you are right, no shaky-cam. And I really dug the ending of the first one.
But I think overall, second had more punch.
