Traffic was shut down along Wilshire Boulevard for more than 12 hours on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30 as a film crew descended on the major West L.A. thoroughfare to film scenes from “Beverly Hills Cop 4,” the latest installment in the popular series about the antics of Detective Axel Foley, played by Eddie Murphy.
The Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) monitored the closure, which stretched along Wilshire from North Maple Drive from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The filming comes after negotiations with BHPD and the City Council to approve the film’s script and permit requests were completed.
