posty 2,614 Posted May 29, 2008 http://www.variety.com/article/VR111798655...yid=10&cs=1 On the heels of the successful revival of the "Indiana Jones" franchise, Paramount has set in motion a fourth installment of "Beverly Hills Cop." Eddie Murphy is attached to reprise his role as Detroit detective Axel Foley, and Brett Ratner is negotiating to direct. Studio is aiming for a 2009 production start and a summer 2010 release. Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce. Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original "Beverly Hills Cop" trilogy with late partner Don Simpson, won't be actively involved in the new film. Murphy approached the studio about reviving the franchise that cemented his status as a B.O. mega-star. Par brass were eager to land another picture with Murphy after he finished the Karey Kirkpatrick-directed "NowhereLand," which Paramount releases in June 2009. That film was also produced by Di Bonaventura, who is working on the summer 2009 releases "G.I. Joe" and "Transformers 2." The studio canvassed a number of directors before choosing Ratner. A writer will be hired shortly. Released in 1984, the original "Beverly Hills Cop" grossed $316 million worldwide and spawned two sequels. All told, the three pics grossed $712.9 million worldwide. The last was released in 1994. Murphy is currently toplining the Brian Robbins-directed "A Thousand Words" for DreamWorks. Ratner has been developing the Hugh Hefner biopic "Playboy" for Universal and Imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

posty 2,614 Posted November 21, 2023 Beverly Hills Cop 4: Eddie Murphy’s Axel Foley Is Back in First Look at Netflix Sequel https://tvline.com/news/beverly-hills-cop-4-eddie-murphy-axel-foley-netflix-2024-release-date-photo-1235083785/ Axel Foley is back on active duty in a newly released photo from Beverly Hills Cop 4. Netflix on Tuesday offered a first look at Eddie Murphy, 62, reprising his iconic role nearly 30 years after the release of Beverly Hills Cop III. As previously reported, Murphy will be joined by fellow returnees Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Paul Reiser and Bronson Pinchot in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley, which is set for release in 2024. Per Empire Magazine, franchise newcomers include Kevin Bacon as an LAPD special-unit officer, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Foley’s new partner, and Taylour Paige (Hit the Floor) as Foley’s criminal defense attorney daughter. The original Beverly Hills Cop followed Murphy’s rule-bending Detroit police detective as he ventured to Los Angeles to investigate the murder of a longtime friend. It went to gross $234 million at the U.S. box office, making it the highest-grossing domestic release of 1984, and received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay in 1985. That was followed by two sequels: 1987’s Beverly Hills Cop II and 1994’s Beverly Hills Cop III. CBS previously attempted to being the Beverly Hills Cop franchise back by way of a 2013 pilot that starred Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder) as Axel Foley’s son, Aaron. The pilot reportedly tested well but ultimately died on the vine because Murphy refused to make recurring appearances on the show. Eleven years later, he’ll reprise Axel in Netflix’s highly anticipated lega-sequel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EternalShinyAndChrome 3,880 Posted April 3, 2024 Beverly Hills Cop 3 was simply awful. Not holding out hope for this one either, but the trailer does make it look pretty good. And it does have Kevin Bacon in it so that gives me some hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still watched it 3 or 4 times though. I love me some Eddie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EternalShinyAndChrome 3,880 Posted July 6, 2024 Saw it. It was okay. Very average, generic and safe but certainly better than the third one. First two were much better. The actress who played his daughter is either a bad actress or didn't seem like she wanted to be in this movie. A piece of cardboard would have given a better performance.

posty 2,614 Posted July 9, 2024 No surprise... The holiday week was dominated by movies, including Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, which debuted at No. 1 on the English-language films list with 41M views. It was easily the most-watched title of the week, though Zac Efron came in a strong second place with 31.9M views for his latest film A Family Affair.
