The next BEVERLY HILLS COP, described as a "reboot" that will bring Eddie Murphy back to the role that made him a global superstar, will premiere in March 2016.

They've been talking it off & on for awhile, & it sounds like they're still headed the same direction:


Brett Ratner is still signed on to helm the flick, which may or may not feature Murphy's Axel Foley in the starring role. Remember that the proposed series would've had Axel in the background, with his son (played by Jackson) to serve as the lead. The word "reboot" makes me think that still might be the plan, but considering that Murphy's guest spot as Axel was reportedly one of the more winning aspects of the pilot, this could very well have evolved into a legitimate BHC IV instead of an out-and-out refresh on the franchise.
