Eddie Murphy to Reprise Axel Foley Role in New 'Beverly Hills Cop

Beverly Hills Cop IV Resurrected ... Again


Eddie Murphy’s iconic Beverly Hills Cop may be skipping the small screen and heading straight to the theaters.



The Beverly Hills Cop revival that was supposed to happen on television is now heading to the big screen instead. After reviving the character of Axel Foley for a pilot that never made it to series, Eddie Murphy is apparently interested once again in a fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie.

Paramount has decided to back Murphy’s return as Axel Foley in Beverly Hills Cop IV, which would be written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec. The two were also the screenwriters behind big-name movies like Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remake.

This is not the first time we've heard talks about a new Beverly Hills Cop movie in the 21st century. Back in 2006-- a time before Dreamgirls or even Shrek 3-- we heard rumors that Murphy was committed to the project. That was pretty much the last we heard of it until the TV show idea cropped up, but when that series-- which would have starred Brandon T. Jackson as Axel Foley's son-- didn't get picked up, the message seemed clear.

The last Beverly Hills Cop movie came out in 1994,
and any studio that's spent the last 20 years trying to make another one won't give up that easily. And though you may have never heard of writers Appelbaum and Nemec, Paramount's choice of them is a strong sign of how committed they are to this next Axel Foley adventure.

The writing team are credited with the lickety-split script for Mission: Impossible-- Ghost Protocol-- one of Paramount's biggest hits of the last few years-- as well as the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. If they were just trying to keep Murphy happy by putting another Beverly Hills Cop movie into
development, they could have hired writers they liked much less. So yes,
this four-quel is really happening… again.

Despite the setback, the franchise sparked enough interest for Paramount to get involved in another motion picture.

No release date or further production dates for the latest installment have been released.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
