Author: Garth FranklinRoman Polanski will star in New Line’s “Rush Hour 3” with Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan reports Variety.
Currently shooting in Paris, Polanski’s been cast as a French police officer who harasses Tucker and Chan’s characters in several scenes while the stars battle a wing of a Chinese organized-crime family.
“Rush Hour 3” marks his first proper acting gig in a Hollywood pic since 1974’s “Chinatown. Polanski joins a cast including Max von Sydow, Noemie Lenoir, Roselyn Sanchez and Hiroyuki Sanada.
This is pretty cool. What excites me is that they got Roselyn Sanchez back, she was hot! and also played well with the Chris Tucker character.
