My first true encounter with the comical genius of Eddie Murphy was when I became old enough to appreciate his work on the 80's comedy film series 'Beverly Hills Cop'. Alex Foley is the cocky, ignorant personality that resonates with Murphy's innate humor in vintage fashion. Just last week, TV producer Shawn Ryan announced that Paramount Pictures is looking to develop another feature film. Murphy is locked in to reprise his role as Foley, and 'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' writers Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec are on board to write the script.
I think a large part of the film's success came from the context of 1980's Los Angeles, with it's retro theme music and classic appeal. I look forward to seeing how the producers, writers, and Murphy himself adjust the series to the modern comedy scene.
Share any thoughts or comments about the return of 'Beverly Hills Cop' to the big screen.
