During its May 7 Study Session, the Beverly Hills City Council spoke to representatives from Netflix about an exclusive upcoming event. In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the movie “Beverly Hills Cop” starring Eddie Murphy, Netflix is releasing the fourth installment in the franchise, “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.” The Netflix event, set to take place at Beverly Gardens Park and the Lily Pond, celebrates the franchise’s roots in the city.
Patricia Betancourt, the city’s Special Events and Film Coordinator, addressed the council about Netflix’s plans. “The global streaming service feels that it is only right to pay tribute to the impact the movie franchise has made on Beverly Hills, in the city of Beverly Hills, where Axel’s tactics and funny humor have made cinematic history,” she said. The invitation-only event will take place on June 20 and include approximately 100 guests and press.
