Beverly Hills Cop 4 Is Happening

By Josh Tyler: 2008-05-29 01:54:08

Paramount is resurrecting another past his prime franchise character. I suppose we have Stallone and his rehashes of Rocky and Rambo to thank for this trend, though no one seemed to noticed it until Indiana Jones did it. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is making Paramount money hand over fist, and they want more like it, so they’re bringing back Beverly Hills Cop.

Variety says Eddie Murphy will return as Detroit detective Axel Foley in the franchise’s fourth movie. They’re shooting for a 2010 release date and Brett Ratner is supposed to be in talks to direct it. Ratner seems to be in talks to direct just about every movie that nobody with any sense would want him within a lightyear of. Here’s another franchise for him to ruin. Assuming of course, that it wasn’t already ruined after Beverly Hills Cop 3.

The interesting thing here is that it was Eddie Murphy who approached Paramount about reviving this thing. This isn’t a case of Paramount pushing for a sequel and then talking Eddie into it. I guess he’s getting as sick of doing crummy family movies as we are of watching them. Reviving it might even be fun, assuming they come up with a decent script and the deal with Ratner falls through.

As long as its Axel,Rosewood,Taggert,Bogimill again im down. Beverly Hills Cop 1 & 2 are two of the greatest action/comedy's....EVER. It's only right that the original cast gets to do this excellent franchise and recreate the magic they made in 1 & 2. Great movies and a helluva ride...it would be cool if Bruckheimer would get involved somehow. Good luck to Eddie and the rest of the ORIGINAL CAST...don't fix what is'nt broke guys. I look forward to an ass kicking side splitting R-Rated Beverly Hills Cop 4 in '10!!

Hmm, I dont really think Eddie is past his prime as Axel, as long as he gets to be himself and not some watered down version of Axel. I want Axel funny, flippant, smart and witty, not older, slower and cranky. In other let Axel be Axel, dont try to bring in a young "kid" (ie rookie detective) for the laughs.

I miss Eddie being Eddie.

Also, make sure Gil Hill and Bronson Pinchot are available.
