BEVERLY HILLS COP IV Update

Last November, it was announced that another installment in the BEVERLY HILLS COP franchise would be hitting theaters sometime in the near future. No time tables were set and nothing much said afterwards. Now, producer (Lorenzo Di Bonaventura) has told Rotten Tomatoes what he wants of the next installment, titled BEVERLY HILLS COP IV. He wants it as a Rated R vehicle going back the "roots" of character Axel Foley.

"I think it's going to be a really interesting debate and it's one we're going to have for a while," said Di Bonaventura.

Of course, most of Murphy's real fans want him to go back to the good old days. "That's what I want. Will you guys call Paramount and tell them that? The studios says their research is telling them PG. I'm with you. I won't do it if it's PG-13."

Perhaps the fans clamoring for a "Cop IV" need to be more specific. "When you travel with Eddie, people constantly come up to him and go, 'When are you going to do Axel? When are you going to do Axel?' So I think there's a reason why Indiana Jones, there's a reason why these things come up is because the audience loves them that much that they're the ones that usually are informing us why we should do it."

 I'd insult the third Beverly Hills Cop film right about now but Eddie Murphy has already insulted the film numerous times over the past decade himself. One can never know if a Rated R BEVERLY HILLS  COP IV is exactly the right ingredients for a new movie.
