Exclusive: Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F cast interviews with Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Kevin Bacon, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Hitting Netflix on July 3 is Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F, starring Eddie Murphy in his return to one of his most famous roles, Axel Foley. Also coming back are Judge Reinhold, John Ashton, Bronson Pinchot and Paul Reiser. New cast members include Kevin Bacon, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, Mark Pellegrino, Luis Guzmán, and Affion Crockett.
Directed by Mark Molloy, this is the fourth installment in the Beverly Hills Cop film series and a sequel to Beverly Hills Cop III (1994). Detective Axel Foley (Eddie Murphy) is back on the beat in Beverly Hills, CA.
After his daughter's life is threatened, she and Foley team up with a new partner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and old pals Billy (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton) to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.
The franchise moved from Paramount to Netflix in the winter of 2019 and follows the adventures of Detroit cop Foley, who first appeared in the 1984 smash hit that followed him to Beverly Hills to solve the murder of a friend. The film became one of the year’s biggest hits and solidified Murphy’s movie-star status. It was followed by two sequels, in 1987 and 1994.
Will Beall penned the script. Murphy also produces, along with Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Charisse Hewitt-Webster and Ray Angelic will exec produce the new movie. Melissa Reid of Jerry Bruckheimer Films will co-produce.
