I would say I’m surprised, but with lack of creativity coming from Hollywood another reboot was inevitable. So, we have Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy coming back as pain-in-the-ass cop Axel Foley.
Deadline reports:
Paramount today set a March 25, 2016, release date for Beverly Hills Cop, the fourth installment of the mega-grossing 1980s movie series that has Eddie Murphy set to reprise his role as the wise-cracking detective.
The new film has the pre-summer weekend to itself for now. Jerry Bruckheimer is back as producer, and Brett Ratner is directing the pic, which will see Murphy’s Foley returning to his Detroit roots.
Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, the scribes behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, are writing that script.
