 Sony Pictures Television, along with The Last Resort EP Shawn Ryan and star Eddie Murphy are shopping a small-screen version of Paramount's Beverly Hills Cop, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. As first reported by Vulture, the pitch is being taken to broadcast networks Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. Murphy, who starred in the three films as a crafty Detroit detective working in Beverly Hills, is attached to have an on-screen role in the spinoff. Murphy and Ryan would executive produce the project, which is described as an hourlong crime procedural with comedic elements. Murphy would appear in the pilot and a few episodes throughout the first season, according to Vulture. Speaking to Rolling Stone in November, Murphy confirmed that there wouldn't be a fourth movie in the franchise and that he was interested in telling a different story about his former alter ego. "What I'm trying to do with Beverly Hills Cop 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 this 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," he said at the time. It was unclear if the SPT-Murphy-Ryan pitch being shopped this week was similar to Murphy's November idea. The three films -- released in 1984, 1987 and 1994 -- have collected more than $1.5 billion in worldwide box office grosses.
I know Eddie had Kevin Hart or Brandon T. Jackson as his choices for the lead role. But I think he can easily do it himself again..  will ALWAYS think of  like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

How is Ryan going from a very gritty show like The Shield to a Bevery Hills Cop show?
But this TV show concept feels right?
I wish Eddie would just concentrate on a stand up tour instead. [Edited 8/29/12 10:08am] I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

How about Eddie go back on tour. It has been forever since he has been on the road. BHC3--could've kept that. "Might as well enjoy the view..." | |
