November 21, 2004 — Aaccording to a recent interview: "Ratner is scheduled to begin shooting Rush Hour 3 in June. He had hoped that a bedeviled Superman project would be his next film, but after six months of bickering with producer Jon Peters, he resigned from the film in March 2003. ''The script that I was going to do was so expensive,'' he said. ``Usually Superman starts with him landing on earth. We were going back into the history of Krypton and the civil war that took place on the planet.'' To hear Ratner tell it, he has more than enough work to keep him busy. In addition to Rush Hour 3, he will be working on Josiah's Canon, about a robber who plans to break into a series of Swiss banks, and Bringing Down the House, based on the true story of a band of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who took casinos in Las Vegas for millions."
