The studio loves the draft but Eddie Murphy is not too keen on it," the site reports, but for the sake of argument we'll just imagine Murphy going along with it because, well, that's what he does . ... Full Review

If you're going to make a new "Beverly Hills Cop" movie you don't kill off its most beloved character - next to Axel - within the first five minutes of the film!
You don't kill that character off - you'll lose the audience (fuck, if anyone, kill of that Serge character, played by Bronson Pinchot!

I'd argue that Reinhold's performance in the first movie is a large percentage of what makes it endearing.
I'd watch that over the uninspired fecal matter Eddie Murphy attaches his name to these days.

And the final piece of bad news: Eddie Murphy is apparently the only one with the sense to hate this draft.

With the success of its other franchises such as Indiana Jones and Die Hard , the studio is keen to take advantage of a small window for Eddie Murphy , who is very much busy with other projects.
