Dark Horizons reports that producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been consulting with folks and trying to hash out a story for a fourth film in the “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise.

“We’ve been analyzing the franchise and asking lots and lots of people about Axel Foley. ‘What do you love about Axel and what would you want to see with an Axel Foley movie?‘” says di Bonaventura.

He adds “I think we have enough information now that we’ll probably be hiring a writer in the next four to eight weeks and taking a good shot at it.”

The original 1984 film, “Beverly Hills Cop“, earned a massive $234 million. The third film, “Beverly Hills Cop III“, took in a mere $43 million…

A fourth movie seems like a big mistake. Eddie Murphy could really use a successfull movie – it’s been a while… but the concept doesn’t really work anymore. The trigger happy, fast talking, weird laughing cop belongs in the 80′s. Let’s not soil the memory of Axel Foley. May he rest in peace. Please.
