"Rush Hour", the hit movie of Hollywood stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, is being recreated as TV show. Warner Bros TV has already closed the deal.

Will it enjoy the same status as the movie franchise? The three installments of the "Rush Hour" film have been widely-accepted and have earned $845 million globally. Can the TV version duplicate the feat?

Other million-dollar questions: Will it work without the funny duo of Chan and Tucker? Will it be easy for the would-be leads to take on the roles owned by the two stars? One thing is for sure - so much will be expected of the two characters and the TV version.

The answer to these may depend on the people behind the project. In a report by Deadline, Bill Lawrence and Blake McCormick are the writers for "Rush Hour" TV show. He also stands as the executive producer, along with Arthur Sarkissian and Brett Ratner, the "Rush Hour" movie director.

The one-hour action comedy will maintain the premise of the film series. Viewers will get to meet the by-the-book Hong Kong police office (character played by Chan) and the overconfident LAPD officer (played by Tucker).

According to Inside TV, no network deal for "Rush Hour" TV has been met yet.

There have been reports about the fourth installment of "Rush Hour". Slash Film wrote, Chan has been approached but without a script yet, he's not interested.

"No, show me the script first. I don't need another Rush Hour 4. You need Rush Hour 4. Show me the script. I don't want to do a rubbish script just because they want to make the movie," he said in an article by IGN.

Basing on the Hong Kong action superstar's statement, a high-quality screenplay will make him change his mind about doing the fourth series.
