According to Variety, Roman Polanski will play a French police officer who harasses Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan's characters in several scenes while the stars battle a wing of a Chinese organized-crime family.

Director Brett Ratner told Variety that he persuaded Polanski to appear after a chance encounter while in pre-production in Paris. "Roman is my favorite director and my favorite actor, so I asked Jeff Nathanson to write him into the movie," he said.

The film, currently shooting in Paris, is set to rush into theaters on August 10, 2007.

I liked the first 2 rush hour movies - and since the same team is involved with this one it should be just as good. I am so glad they didn't "rush" this one to the screen like so many other sequals or trilogies
