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.
