With David Ellison in control of Paramount and possibly parts of the Warner empire, Trump is pushing for a greenlight of Ratner’s “Rush Hour 4.”

Trump appears to want to revive the raucous comedies and action movies of the late 1980s to late 1990s. He’s passionate, for instance, about the 1988 Jean Claude Van Damme sports flick Bloodsport. A person directly familiar with the conversations told Semafor that the president of the United States has personally pressed the Paramount owner to revive another franchise from Ratner: Rush Hour, a buddy-cop comedy starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker that blended physical comedy, martial arts, and gags about racial stereotypes.

Jackie Chan baffled

Via World of Reel:

Dammit, Donnie, keep your "endorsements" to yourself!

See normally I'd say I'd rather the president be focused on current affairs, national politics etc... rather than wasting his time critiquing movies... but with trump... it's almost a good thing to have him distracted from fucking things up worse.

But yeah in true trump fashion... You know what this world needs right now, more action movies with action stars in their golden years... After all that's what everyone's complaining about hollywood right now right? Not enough reboots and sequals and too many up and coming big actors.
