Detective Axel Foley, Eddie Murphy’s character from the iconic “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise, is slated to return to the titular city in “Beverly Hills Cop 4.” To receive certain permits, the producers of the film have agreed to give the city the right to read and approve portions of the script in advance of filming.
The movie, produced by Beverly Hills resident Jerry Bruckheimer, will follow the antics of fish-out-of-water Detroit cop Axel Foley, who first came to Beverly Hills in 1984 to solve the murder of a friend. The plot has not yet been announced, but certain details of the film came out during the June 21 meeting.
