After “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull” being  a huge box office smash, Paramount Pictures had just greenlighed “Beverly Hills Cop” series to get a 4th installment, and Eddie Murphy himself has agreed to reprise his role as Axel Foley. Paramount aims for a production start in 2009 and plans to release it in 2010.

Murphy himself approached Paramount about wanting to bring Axel Foley back to the big screen after he finished filming his newest movie “Nowhereland” which will release next summer in 2009.

Brett Ratner is in negotiations to direct “Beverly Hills Cop 4”.

As long as they still get Judge Reinhold as Rosewood and still keep it an R rated movie, I’ll go see it. Reinhold hasn’t done any acting and vanished from movies since “The Santa Clause 3”, so it would be good to see him back in the movies again.
