Both Eddie Murphy and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were impressed by the duo’s work, and were also pleased to learn that the original Beverly Hills Cop movie meant a lot to the two men.
The Deadline report also notes Beverly Hills Cop 4 will take Axel Foley back to “his Detroit origins,” but we find it hard to believe that he won’t be seen in Beverly Hills for at least a little bit.
The last time Beverly Hills Cop 4 had a director attached was back in 2008 when Rush Hour’s Brett Ratner was hired.
Paramount has hired Black directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah to oversee the fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie, working off a script penned by writers Josh Appelbaum & Andre Nemec.
