‘Beverly Hills Cop’ Returns

Apparently this was Eddie’s idea. To which I say: No, No, No…rbit.

Stick to talking donkeys, dude. Axel Foley’s time has passed.

LOS ANGELES – If Indiana Jones can make a successful comeback after almost 20 years, why not the Beverly Hills Cop?

Paramount Pictures has given the go-ahead for a fourth instalment of its “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise, with Eddie Murphy on board to return to the role that launched his movie career, the studio said on Thursday.

Brett Ratner, the filmmaker behind the similarly themed “Rush Hour” movies starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, is in negotiations to direct the latest “Beverly Hills Cop” adventure, a Paramount spokesman said.

Lorenzo di Bonaventura (“Transformers”) will produce.

The film is expected to begin filming next year for a summer 2010 release.
