What takes a long time is finally good: That also applies to “Beverly Hills Cop 4” with Eddie Murphy. The Netflix film should be shot soon.
Who does not know the cult action comedy series “Beverly Hills Cop”. Although at least the first two films focused heavily on cop trio Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy), Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), and John Taggart (John Ashton), it was basically a one-man show for comedian Eddie Murphy. At that time he was already a celebrated comedian in the United States and, thanks to “Nur 48 Hours” and “The Soldiers of Fortune”, he was also able to celebrate successes quickly and early on the screen. The big breakthrough came with “Beverly Hills Cop” in 1984.

The series received two sequels over the next few years, with “Beverly Hills Cop 3” 1994 neither in content nor at the box office came close to its predecessor. With this, Axel Foley had solved his last case for a long time. Almost 30 years later, however, he is allowed to run again: The California Film Commission has just presented 23 film productions (via The Hollywood Reporter), which are to be shot in the US state of California in the near future.
And that includes “Beverly Hills Cop 4”. The long-awaited sequel, the rights of which were sold by Paramount Pictures to Netflix in 2019, should finally close the film series. With Eddie Murphy’s comeback thanks to “The Prince from Zamunda 2”, there couldn’t be a better time. According to the information from the Film Commission, the production is said to have scheduled 58 days for shooting in California and generate expenditures of 78 million US dollars there for local workers.
