Beverly Hills Cop 4: Eddie Murphy to star in 2016 reboot

So Axel F, is going to be coming back to the big screen. Beverly Hills cop is a go? This new installment is going slated to be released in 2016, and is guaranteed to make us laugh. I mean how could it not it's Eddie Murphy as wise cracking Axel Foley bumbling through Beverly Hills or maybe Detroit.

Plot details remain vague but entertainment site Deadline has reported that the Detroit cop will be returning to his roots.

The film has been written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec, who penned Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer told The Hollywood Reporter back in April: "We're going to take Eddie [Murphy] back to Detroit."

Bruckheimer added: "He's going to be in Beverly Hills … so we're going to have some fun with him."

Beverley Hills Cop was originally going return to the small screen with a television series helmed by The Shield creator Shawn Ryan.

The program would follow Foley’s police officer son Aaron, played by Brandon T. Jackson, and it is believed that Murphy would have had a recurring role on the show.

A pilot was made for the series in 2013 and starred Murphy, who also served as executive producer, however network CBS decided not to pick up the show.

This new installment is likely to breathe new life into the franchise and get a new generation of fans humming the catchy theme tune "Axel F" by Harold Faltermeyer.

The only question left are we going to see Judge Reinhold or John Ashton as his faithful side-kicks. I know we are ready to laugh, are you? 

Twins sequel is definitely in the works

Too many unwelcome sequels and remakes of classic movies have been made in the past few years and because of this you could forgive us for being skeptical - but oh my God, Triplets sounds the business and it looks like it's going to get the green light.

The actor Josh Gad (Love and Other Drugs) is writing a screenplay for a Twins sequel and it is set to be just as weird as the first. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are reuniting as the unlikely siblings and, wait for it, Eddie Murphy is joining them as their long-lost brother.

Gad told Coming Soon that, "Triplets' is getting very close. We handed in our first draft to much enthusiasm and we're doing a second draft right now that's like miniscule changes and it's very exciting. It's very real."

The first movie was definitely an out and out comedy but since it came out in 1988 we can expect the next installment to enter 21 Jump St territory.

Gad says, "We’re very reverential to the original, but have our tongue firmly in our cheek. As it needs to be, it’s very modernized. It’s taking them into the new world and it’s acknowledging that comedy’s changed a lot in 20 years.”

Sounds friggin' amazeballs we think. We loved Twins, Arnie and Danny were an inspired pairing, but throw Eddie Murphy in the mix? Guaranteed comedy gold.
