BEVERLY HILLS COP PG-13 for the SHREK crowd!
"The Rat" has hinted that his upcoming reinvention of Beverly Hills Cop which will see Eddie Murphy reprise the role that transitioned him from a stand-up comedian into a real movie star, will be kinder to those kids out there and may even be a PG-13. The original three movies were known for there R-Rated humor distinctly with heavy swearing from Murphy. But he's older now, more restrained and this film will suit his current kid friendly merchandising persona... Here's what the dude told MTV...
10-year-old kids, 12-year-old kids dont really know the old Beverly Hills Cop. So its an opportunity to make it new for kids, Ratner said. The same way it felt for me watching Beverly Hills Cop when I was a kid, thats what I want to do for kids today.He also mentions that it's an honor to be working on a franchise that was one of his childhood favourites and that filming probably wouldn't begin for 12 months. So my original fears have almost been realised. It's going to be Rush Hour 4 just with Eddie Murphy and whoever else they cast using the names from the original series of films and slightly different character traits. This is Beverly Hills Cop IV: The Shrek Years and don't you think this is a big FU to those who grew up or were adults when the original movies came out.
