NEWS: Already Problems for Beverly Hills Cop 4
The 80’s are everywhere, clothes, music, and even film. What’s next for the comeback of the new 80’s? Beverly Hills Cop 4, because three just isn’t enough! Everything seemed good to go. The fourth film has been penned by the duo behind Wanted and 3:10 to Yuma, Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. The film is set to be directed by Brett Ratner who has said:
“10-year-old kids, 12-year-old kids don’t really know the old ‘Beverly Hills Cop.’ So it’s an opportunity to make it new for kids, the same way it felt for me watching ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ when I was a kid, that’s what I want to do for kids today.” [MTV]
The film will be produced by Lorenzo DiBonaventura (AKA One of the other Transformers Producers). They were hoping for a 2010 release, but not everything is falling into place.
According to LationReview’s inside source, El Chavo, “The studio loves the draft but Eddie Murphy is not too keen on it.” And let’s face it. No Murphy, no movie. They can try to recast is, but that would be like casting someone other than Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon, you just can’t do it. It would turn into a Starsky & Hutch situation.
Some of you may be wondering how the hell they could even make a fourth film work. They would need a damn good reason for Axel Foley (what a name) to journey back to the Hills. Apparently Brandt and Haas have come up with this:
Judge Reinhold’s Billy Rosewood takes a leap out the 20th story of the Los Angeles Police HQ. When Axel hears that his former partner and best buddy became sidewalk salad he knows it wasn’t a suicide and he flies to Beverly Hills to get all the facts for himself.
What do you think? Sound plausible? Are you excited for a new film or would you rather just rent one of the other films on DVD?

if any of the main characters are killed in Beverly Hills Cop 4, dont bother making it. We suffered enough from the third movie, please dont mess this one up. Let one of the main characters be in a coma or something…dont kill them. Rosewood is the center point of the movie as well as Taggert, today might be a whole new ballgame than the 80's…oh and that 90's film, but let them all get injured at least…but dont kill off any characters. Because remember…years from now you will be trying to ressurect Axel.

Im just wondering how they would bring john ashton back into the movie as in the third part judge reinhold clearly says ashton retired and i dont think it would be fun without the three. I think they should rescript a movie where judge and john come to detroit to help axel for some strange reason lol and maybe ronny joins them as mayor.
