announced his intention to resurrect the franchise, though he eventually gave up his option to produce the film, instead passing production duties to Lorenzo di Bonaventura
.
In September 2006 a script, an amalgamation of several earlier drafts, was presented to Murphy who was reported to be "very happy" with the outline which was described as an attempt to recapture the "feel of the original". Murphy admitted one of his motivations for making a fourth Beverly Hills Cop film was to make up for the fact the third film was "horrible" and that "he didn't want to leave (the series) like that".
In May 2008, Rush Hour director Brett Ratner
was officially named director, who promised the film would return under the series standard "R" rating, rather than as a rumored watered down PG-13. Michael Brandt and Derek Haas were hired as screenwriters to improve on the existing script in July 2008 and completed a new script, under the working title "Beverly Hills Cop 2009", which would see Foley return to Beverly Hills to investigate the murder of his friend Billy Rosewood
. The script was eventually rejected, leaving Ratner to work on a new idea. In an interview with Empire
, Ratner stated "I'm working very hard on the fourth. It's very difficult, especially since there were three before. We're trying to figure out some important things, like where do we start? Is Axel retired? Is he in Beverly Hills? Is he on vacation? Does Judge Reinhold return as the loveable Billy Rosewood? Many questions to figure out, but I'm hoping to have a script before film disappears from our existence." Although Murphy himself committed to the project, it was unconfirmed whether the series other principal actors, Judge Reinhold
, John Ashton
, Ronny Cox
or Bronson Pinchot
would also return, though Brett Ratner stated in late 2009 that he was trying to convince Reinhold and Ashton to reprise their roles. Harold Faltermeyer
's "Axel F
", however, would definitely be returning for the proposed fourth installment, with Ratner quoted as saying "It'll be back but it'll be a whole new interpretation." On November 15, 2010 Ratner stated in an interview with MTV that there was still a possibility that they will make the fourth film, but guarantees that it won't be "anytime soon".
In October 2011, Murphy stated "They're not doing it. What I'm trying to do now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley's son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit. I'd do the pilot, show up here and there. None of the movie scripts were right; it was trying to force the premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn't be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong."
