Oh good grief! It looks like Rush Hour 3 is indeed going to be heading into production after all… and I’m glad about that… but at what price??? As we’ve talked about a lot here on The Movie Blog, Chris Tucker (moron) has been holding things up with totally stupid demands regarding money and creative control of the film. Well… looks like he gave up on the creative control part… but the money…
The folks over at AICN is reporting that Tucker’s money demands have been caved in to. The studio is going to be paying him (are you ready for this?) $20 million for the film PLUS 20% of the box office. While Jackie Chan will get $15 million plus 15% of the box office. HOW INSANE IS THAT!?!?!
Ok, let’s just ignore the outrageous fact that Tucker is getting almost 35% MORE money than Jackie Chan is (how stupid is that???). $20 million for Chris Tucker??? Are they serious?!?!?!
How can studios DARE complain to us (the public) about them losing money when they go off and cave to the demands of some b-list actor for $20 million?!?!?! HOW DARE THEY!!!
“Oh… we’re the movie industry… we’re going poor because little Billy-no-shoes is downloading Resident Evil on his computer” BULLSH*T!!!
With just the two actors, the studio has committed $35 million dollars AND 35% of all the boxoffice returns. WELL GEE WHIZ GUYS, I WONDER WHY YOU’RE NOT TURNING A PROFIT LIKE YOU WERE IN THE 90’s!!!! You fricken bunch of brain dead morons!
This news is so stupid it makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Chris Tucker gets $20 million… give me a bloody break.
Rant over.
