Axel Foley is Back!

You heard that right… Eddie’s bringing back Axel Foley baby! This week the rumours of a 4th Beverly Hills Cop film have been confirmed by Variety, who report that Eddie Murphy is working closely with producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Paramount to revive the franchise.

Is it just me, or are they trying to bring back every successful franchise from my childhood? We have Rocky this Christmas, Rambo next year, Die Hard in the works, what's next, Police Academy 56?

It’s definitely a bit of a risk… Beverly Hills Cop III bombed at the box office, despite the success of the first two. There’s also the fact that a lot of moviegoers may never have seen any of the original films, so they’ll have to work at making Axel hip and current, which in turn could go terribly wrong!

The big question I guess, is after all those Daddy Daycare type movies, does Eddie still have any action genes left in him?
