Eddie Murphy returns to Beverly Hills

[Paxton]

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 today.

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. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura ("Transformers") will produce.

The film is expected to begin filming next year for a summer 2010 release.

Brett Ratner and Michael Bay in one day...I can't take much more of this.

Brett Ratner is one of the worst directors ever.

I wish he'd trip and fall off a roof or something.

^If he, Michael Bay and Chris Columbus all entered a suicide pact together, I would not complain for a second.
