Eddie Unhappy With Current Beverly Hills 4 Script

Eddie-MurphyWe have some news regarding the progress of Beverly Hills Cop 4, and it looks like Eddy isn’t happy with the script. We get the following scoop thanks to our friends over at cinematical:

Latino Review managed to snag a draft of Beverly Hills Cop 4 (one they claim “the studio loves, but Eddie Murphy is not too keen on”), and they’ve slapped a C+ grade on it. Based on their description (which includes spoilers, so watch out), the flick looks to be a combination of the original Beverly Hills Cop and Hitch, with Axel Foley (Murphy) trying to figure out who killed one of his friends, all while helping his new, fat partner score with some girl he has a crush on. LR says it’s a “pretty standard police corruption story”, and it feels “like the writers took an Arnold Schwarzenegger script they had lying around and changed the details to make it a Beverly Hills Cop movie. There’s no fun in it.”

Eddie Murphy said that he wanted Bevery Hills Cop to be his last hurrah in the film world. He claims that he plans to return to the stage as a stand up comedian and will fire up the mic anew. I hope his words were true, and I’m guessing that they may be based on his desire to make sure that BHC4 is a quality film.

Doing shit films over the years has been Murphy’s calling card so no matter how this ends up in theaters; its just nice to hear that he gives a shit about this one. I’m pleased that he’s starting to care – that’s a good sign in my books.

Someone asked me about this project yesterday on the 2PM live show and I’m glad an update of sorts has filtered down the pipe. We will wait and see for more news regarding this project and with luck we will have another Latino Review script review shortly.
