L-R: Eddie Murphy,
Brett Ratner &
Jerry Bruckheimer
According to a press release given to us
several
weeks
ago,
The
latest
installment of the 1984 classic Beverly
Hills Cop will be filming in metro Detroit,
the Michigan Film Office announced.
The new chapter of the franchise that
helped make Eddie Murphy a boxoffice star has been approved for about $13.5 million in Michigan film incentives based on $56.5 million in
anticipated spending in the state. The project expects to hire approximately 352 Michigan workers, or a
full-time equivalent of 318 jobs. Beverly Hills Cop 4 will return Murphy to his iconic role as Foley, the brash
Detroit cop who brings his street smarts to Los Angeles in his search for a friend’s killer. The movie will be
directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour) and produced by Detroit native Jerry Bruckheimer for Paramount
Pictures. Filming will take place in Detroit and nearby locales, although there’s no word yet on when
shooting will start. The movie is slated to be released in March 2016. The new story line transplants Foley
from his plush Beverly Hills life back to the Motor City during a severe cold snap. Back in Detroit, he’ll learn
the new realities and encounter old foes in “one of America’s most tenacious cities,” according to an MFO
statement.
