Paramount Pictures have announced that they are reviving Eddie Murphy's massively successful movie franchise, 'Beverly Hills Cop', for a fourth installment, with Murphy on board to reprise the lead role of Axel Foley.
A spokesman for the company said on Thursday (May 29) that the new movie is expected to hit cinema's in 2010, with Brett Ratner – most noted for his work on the 'Rush Hour' movies – in negotiations to direct.
Murphy's international fame exploded in the 1980s after he first played the troubled Detroit detective, who heads to Beverly Hills to capture a friend's killer.
