Rush Hour 4 is reportedly in the works at Paramount, which merged with Skydance Media earlier this year. According to multiple outlets, the green light for the production was all thanks to Donald Trump, who allegedly put in a personal request for the company to start production on the fourth Brett Ratner-directed installment.
In a November 25, 2025, X post, entertainment journalist Matthew Belloni shared via his “What I’m Hearing” newsletter that Paramount “WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.”
