Chan & Tucker again?

Jackie Chan doesn’t like middle men. Especially when they prevent him from teaming up with people onscreen. “In the old days, we didn’t need a push from a middleman,” he recently told MTV Movies Blog, adding “F**k those a**holes!” Only he didn’t say the last part.

Needless to say, it’s these middle men that have kept him from working with fellow Asian icon Jet Li until now (in the upcoming fantasy marital arts epic THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM) and now that he’s decided he wants to work with Chris Tucker in a non RUSH HOUR film, he’s gonna make sure those degenerate middle men get on the ball.

“I said yes, and after I shook [Tucker’s] hand, I said: ‘Look, we need a middleman. I don’t want to shake hands, then I go back to Hong Kong and you stay here, I get busy and you get busy. You have to have somebody in the middle to follow up, otherwise it will never happen. We’ve just agreed to do it. Now we’re looking for the writer,” is what he had to say about getting those middle men to shape up.

Is this film gonna happen anytime soon? Not likely. Not if the middle men have anything to say about it.
