Beverly Hills Cop IV Update..

And talking about 80’s movies.. While " Rocky Balboa " fights his last fight, " John Rambo " goes back into action, John McClane " Lives Free or Dies Hard " and " Indiana Jones " saddles up again, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is looking back at Axel Foley..

Lorenzo di Bonaventura, is digging into a fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop series.. Well, let me just say, the sequel is in very, very, very early development.. Oh, and remember, they’ve tried to get this off the ground before.. Three or four times before, actually.. So don't get in line, just yet.

Apparently Eddie Murphy is down with the idea, although there is nothing formal yet.. Eddie’s movies haven’t been the same for the past ten years or so.. Most of his recent ones consist of him dressing up in fat suits and playing a number of family characters.. These were funny but the Eddie Murphy from the 80’s was a foulmouthed crackle - pop, which we all loved.. Murphy's status as a family comedian has studios worried about letting him swear up a storm again..

Here is what di Bonaventura recently told reporters about his desire to let Eddie be old - school Eddie..

" Happening' would be too strong a word, but we are working on a take.. We have not hired a writer yet, but we've been analyzing the franchise and asking lots and lots of people about Alex Foley.. 'What do you love about Axel and what would you want to see with an Axel Foley movie?' I think we have enough information now that we'll probably be hiring a writer in the next four to eight weeks and taking a good shot at it.."

" I think it's going to be a really interesting debate, and it's one we're going to have for a while.. That's what I want.. Will you guys call Paramount and tell them that? The studio says their research is telling them PG.. I'm with you.. I won't do it if it's PG - 13.."

Good call, Lorenzo.. The way I see it, if Eddie is gonna even touch his '80s oeuvre, he has to really smack it, you know? He has to whip it, be as blazingly verbally ferocious as he was back in the day.. I say aim for the R rating..

I personally, have been loving all these 80’s remakes and sequels.. Of course I am hanging for " V: The Second Generation " to be filmed and released..
