If Indiana Jones can make a successful comeback after almost 20 years, why not the Beverly Hills cop?
Paramount Pictures has given the go-ahead for a fourth installment of its Beverly Hills Cop franchise, with Eddie Murphy on board to return to the role that launched his movie career, the studio said on Thursday.
Brett Ratner, the filmmaker behind the similarly themed Rush Hour movies starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, is in negotiations to direct the latest Beverly Hills Cop adventure, a Paramount spokesman said.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) will produce.
The film is expected to begin filming next year for a summer 2010 release.
According to Daily Variety, it was Murphy, 47, who approached the Viacom Inc-owned studio about reviving the film series in which he plays a Detroit police detective, Axel Foley, who ends up chasing crooks in Beverly Hills, California.
The original 1984 film and its two sequels, the last of which opened in 1994, collectively grossed more than $US735 ($769) million in cinemas worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. The first movie alone took in over $US316 million globally.
The decision to make Beverly Hills Cop IV follows Paramount's success with the revival of its Indiana Jones franchise after 19 years. The fourth film in that series, The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, opened last Thursday and grossed nearly $US152 ($159) million in its first five days in US release.
Murphy's last two films, the live-action comedy Norbit and the animated storybook satire Shrek the Third, in which he supplied the voice of a talking donkey, grossed $159 million and $799 million worldwide, respectively, according to Box Office Mojo.

Chris Morgan ("Wanted," "Fast and Furious") has been hired to write the screenplay based on a story treatment he will develop with Wiseman. It's not sure how much of Stuart Beattie's original draft will survive.
