It's a sad day for all of us.
It turns out that Eddie Murphy is not retiring any time soon!
And, again, instead of coming up with new ideas, there's a sequel in the makes.
The latest is set to be Beverly Hills Cop 4!!! Yup, it's true.
And the supposed reason for the remake (aside from making a fat paycheck) is because Murphy didn't like the previous movie.
He says he's making part IV "because the third Beverly Hills Cop was horrible! I didn't want to leave it like that. The first two were cool and the third one was shitty. [Let's] get the franchise fixed again, clean up this old mess and do a good movie."
Yea, they sucked mostly because you were in it!
He adds, they can't "just leave Axel with his thumb up his ass from the last movie. Whatever happened to Axel Foley? He's sitting in Detroit with his thumb up his ass since Beverly Hills Cop III. Let's take those thumbs out and make a great movie!"
Someone sure likes to talk about thumbs and asses!
He continues, "When I go overseas they still call me Axel Foley — kids call me Axel Foley. I think that character, it resonated like no other movie, like nothing that I've done before."
As for the tone of the movie, Murphy wants to keep it true to Axel's way of being. So curse words and all will be included but they'll have to wait for the script to see if it'll be rated PG-13.
He adds, "I'll tell you what about profanity. Over the last 20 years or so, because of the studios, everybody figured out there's a PG-13 audience, you know, and that's the biggest piece of the pie. And a bunch of artists, myself included, got put in this PG-13 box — artists that aren't PG-13 artists!"
And here comes the envy, "Then comedies like Superbad, Knocked-Up, and Juno come out and people go, 'Oh, this is the brilliant shit.' And it's just people acting like real people, talking like real people. And those movies are making all the money now. Get back to the real shit."
Hah, looks like someone is a tad bit jealous!
