Eddie Murphy Has Revealed Why a Fourth Beverly Hills Cop Outing Took So Long
Fans of the Beverly Hills Cop franchise have been left waiting (and waiting) to see the return of Axel Foley. But why has it taken so long to materialize? Well, Eddie Murphy took the time to explain…
“Jerry Bruckheimer, the original producer. When he got involved, and he started developing the script, and he knew what Beverly Hills Cop was supposed to be… that’s when it all started to come together,” Murphy said earlier this year. “Because we tried for years and years, maybe 10, 12 years, and I must have read five or six different scripts, and it was never right. The studio was like, ‘Let’s go. Here it is.’ It was like, ‘It’s just not it.’ Jerry Bruckheimer got back in there, and he knows his s**t, and he put it together. He did [Top Gun: Maverick] just last year, and Bad Boys is Jerry Bruckheimer. So we have that same brain behind Beverly Hills Cop, and he put all the pieces in place that were required for us to make a great movie. And I’m excited for people to see it.”
Thanks to a one-time license deal made between Paramount Pictures and the streaming giant Netflix, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is now all set to debut on the streaming platform in summer 2024.
