Rush Hour 3, Beverly Hills Cop 4, Die Hard 4 Why?

Rush Hour 3

I don't know what studio heads are thinking here. Rush Hour 3 will not make money. Its been 6 years since that last movie. Its not like people are waiting for another Chris Tucker movie. In fact what has he done since the 2nd one. Its reported that Chris Tucker is getting $20,000,000 million for this movie. My question is why? He hasn't made a movie since the last one! Its been 6 years. Chris is more famous for being involved in the Michael Jackson trial than being a comedian!

Beverly Hills Cop 4

Eddie Murphy's Track record is a hit and miss. The last BHC movie was released in 1994. In fact the movie was a bomb! Eddie is now hot again. Dreamgirls got him an Academy Award Nomination. I am very happy for him however its been 20 YEARS since the last successful BHC movie was released! His pay check is going to be $20,000,000. Why? None of the behind the camera talent from the first 2 movies are behind the fourth one! Maybe this is why BHC 3 was a stinker.

Die Hard 4: Die Hardest
Bruce Willis has not been in a hit movie since "The Sixth Sense". Bruce Willis made the record books for the first Die Hard! He got $5,000,000 for that movie. This was a record amount for an actor without any box office hits to his name! For Die Hard 2 He got $7,500,000. Die Hard 3 $15,000,000! Now I don't know what he will make for Number 4. Rumor is that he will get $30,000,000! The last Die Hard movie was released in 1995. I do not see a demand for this!

To me the studios need to make more originals and less sequels and remakes! If there is a such thing as a movie god I pray that these will be the last of the big sequels!

Any thoughts?
