It's been a while since we last heard any news about the upcoming Brett Ratner-directed "Beverly Hills Cop 4." But according to writer Derek Haas, who with Michael Brandt (Wanted, 3:10 to Yuma), are still working on the script. "We're working on the second draft and then we'll see," Haas told Moviehole. "As I'm sure you know, nothing is ever certain in Hollywood."
Haas said that he and Brandt were given the freedom to do whatever they want for "Beverly Hills Cop 4," which is why they used a script for another movie as a starting point.
"Michael and I wrote a spec script called 'Dying Day,' a dark action movie about two FBI field agents in LA who discover their whole office is crooked," he explained. "Paramount bought it and asked us to convert it into the next Axel Foley movie... which sounded like a cool challenge."
He continued: "Someone reviewed our first draft of the [Beverly Hills Cop] script and railed on it for not having any jokes. No sh*t! Like with the first 'Beverly Hills Cop,' we're writing a straight up action movie that works as a police thriller, then Eddie Murphy is going to come in later and point out where he thinks he can riff.
