Eddie Murphy Not Retiring
Eddie Murphy has quashed rumors he is quitting Hollywood to return to stand-up comedy. His spokesperson said:
“Eddie is not retiring. ‘Beverly Hills Cop IV’ is in development.” The ‘Nutty Professor’ star is desperate to rescue the ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ franchise after the “horrible” third instalment.
Speaking to MTV, Eddie said:
“The third ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ was horrible! I didn’t want to leave it like that. The first two were cool and the third one was s****y. Let’s get the franchise fixed again, clean up this old mess and do a good movie. “Don’t just leave Axel with his thumb up his a*s from the last movie.
“Whatever happened to Axel Foley? He’s sitting in Detroit with his thumb up his a*s since ‘Beverly Hills Cop III.’ Let’s take those thumbs out and make a great movie!”
Eddie, 47, admits he is still proud of playing the wisecracking detective because of the widespread recognition it brought him.
He said:
“When I go overseas they still call me Axel Foley - kids call me Axel Foley. “I think that character, it resonated like no other movie, like nothing that I’ve done before.”

Brett Ratner to direct ‘The Incredible Shrinking Man’
Brett Ratner is in talks to helm the new big-screen adaptation of ‘The Incredible Shrinking Man.’
The film, starring Eddie Murphy, is a remake of the 1957 sci-fi classic based on the bestselling novel by Richard Matheson.
Ratner will take a comedic approach to the story, which revolves around a Las Vegas magician who starts shrinking after being put under a spell.
He must find a way to reverse the spell before he disappears.
Pete Segal and White Chicks director Keenen Ivory Wayans were previously attached to the Universal project.
Scott Carey has shrunk to the stature where he is lost and long forgotten by his wife, his brother, his daughter, and possibly the world around him that he use to belong after getting himself trapped in the basement of his own house. And throughout his daily routine, he struggles another day trying to survive the prison and life as the insect he has become and only dread to the lurking of another hostile threat that awaits to consume him. While at the same time, he recounts the long memories of how his life changed from the beginning and only awaits for what will become his eventual end when he’ll finally shrink away out of his absolute existence from the world he once known.
Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, Red Dragon, Rush Hour) is currently filming one of 12 segments for anthology film ‘New York, I Love You.’
