Christensen's decision is to split the final book into two films Since the announcement of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows being made into two parts, a two-part film adaptation of Jane Hoop Elementary: The Final Rush is ready to be set for it's theatrical release for the last time. Just than, it was originally reported for the previous film to be split into two movies, despite the book's lengthwise storyline, scheduling Part 1 for November 14, 2008 release and Part 2 for July 10, 2009 release, but the plan wasn't in success, because of the book "not as long as the others" back in 2007.[1] The film instead was made as one film, and was released on July 8, 2009. The Final Rush was shot back-to-back for confirming to filming to be made only in direct order according to Paramount Pictures.[1]

Derek Todd talks to Rita Christensen about the book, and she told him that the book she has written seems to be long, and Todd is possibly is going to remove several of scenes for the movie that came from the book. Although, it was being trated as one film, but was made into two.[1] Produer Derek Todd starts onto helping Clark to start searching for to make this movie completely different from the book, but can do it soon as possible.

Director James Calvin describes Part 1 of the film: "treasure hunting movie, because there are so many traveling scenes where we have to go to. We've been to like seven different or more places we have been there ever since, and I feel like this one is much like a bad ass road trip superhero movie." Calvin also describes Part 2 of the film: "an action packed-superhero film. It features everything that makes this movie bad ass. The final battle is what it's going to make this movie so bad ass."[1]

Derek Todd has begin onto writting scripts onto the movie within in the last two parts approaching. Calvin describes Part 1 as a "treasure hunting-road film" featuring "going on a hunt for treasures" and Part 2 as an "action packed superhero film" featuring with "huge battles."

Special Effects
Brian Clark states the serious special effects were used grateful for both parts of The Final Rush. Visual effects department Greg Wilkerson creates a special effect of feet long eagle for the scene where Danny and his friends get attacked by a Giant Eagle in Morphin the Power in Part 1 of The Final Rush. Wilkerson states that he uses CGI to make it look like it moves. The fake Giant Eagle is made from stratch. He and his workers worked for two hours to create a 8 feet long Eagle.

Wilkerson also made scenes of Giant Monsters from Evan's World and Turbo of Catland. Director James Calvin says he's not making a monster movie, so he tries to make a different way to talk and move like a monster. He also says that monsters in Turbo of Catland were big and fat, skinny and muscular while the one's in Turbo of Catland were also big but Muscular. Also, the sea monsters under Evan's posion underwater. He did the same thing to the movie like he did since the previous film. CG graphics for both Giant monsters and sea monsters were used. They painted the Monsters eyes red where the sea monsters has green eyes like they painted since the previous film. He also made CG graphics to Blaze, Marth and their child as well since the previous film.

The film will be having not one but two different dragons in both parts. Wilkerson has done CG works for making a dragon that it painted red for scene where Miley Cyrus' character gets attacked, and also another dragon where Danny battles was the same thing he have done since The Magic Ball. That dragon is painted pink where Catwoman granted a wish from the Magic Ball.
