BEVERLY HILLS COP IV details revealed

by Matt Holmes

What kind of script can attract Brett Ratner, and only Brett Ratner to a big Hollywood production? A bad one of course. Latino Review have reviewed Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (writers of 3:10 TO YUMA and WANTED) script for the proposed BEVERLY HILLS COP IV movie and weren't impressed by what they saw calling it "boring" and branding their vision of Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) as being a "terminator... with no funny lines".

It's been 15 years since Axel Foley was last in Beverly Hills, and screenwriters Michael Brandt and Derek Haas needed a good reason to bring him back. That reason comes just a couple of pages into the latest script for Beverly Hills Cop IV (which calls itself Beverly Hills Cop 2009) - Judge Reinhold's Billy Rosewood takes a leap out the 20th story of the Los Angeles Police HQ. When Axel hears that his former partner and best buddy became sidewalk salad he knows it wasn't a suicide and he flies to Beverly Hills to get all the facts for himself.
They say the plot isn't terrible, it just needs Axel Foley in there to make it feel like a BEVERLY HILLS COP movie. A new draft is badly need here. YOU CAN READ THE WHOLE REVIEW HERE.Discuss: What do you make of the plot for BEVERLY HILLS COP IV?, Do you need to see another movie in this franchise?
