UPDATE: Steve Of Collider said the following info is premature because.. “it’s not clear who will be back on “Beverly Hills Cop 4″ as the studio is hiring a new writer and they are starting over.”
Real quick now, Clint of Moviehole reported that BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 which will be directed by Brett Ratner will be a…”true sequel” to the 1984 hit. That would ease the pain a little bit. It’ll be like the last 2 films never existed. It also means that we’re going to see Rosewood and Taggart again. Those 2 cops were played by Judge Reinhold and John Ashford who didn’t reprise his role in the third installment due to scheduling conflict. He dodged a bullet there.
We previously learned that the script by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt was an original work, an action/thriller cop movie that got adjusted and converted into BEVERLY HILLS COP 4 so there’s a slight chance this might be Murphy’s way to redeem himself from Meet Dave, Imagine That, Norbit, Daddy Day Care and a string of torturous movies over the past decade.
Still not excited about this yet? I don’t blame you. You can bring back Ashford, Reinhold, Murphy and everybody from the past and it still won’t be enough, this sequel lost me at Brett Ratner and BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
