Eddie Murphy has revealed to ExtraTV that he will be retiring after the release of his latest film “Meet Dave,” which hits theaters on July 11th.
“I have close to 50 movies and it’s like, why am I in the movies?” Murphy told Extra TV, “I’ve done that part now. I’ll go back to the stage and do stand-up.”
Murphy, whose latest film is the upcoming “Meet Dave”, also revealed that at one point plans were put in motion for “Beverly Hills Cop 4“, but that he didn’t want to commit to the project because “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.”
The actor said he also wasn’t satisfied with the Cop 3 script, but that they offered him such a large fee to participate that he agreed to take the role: “They said this is how much we’re going to pay you. I said, ‘let’s go shoot it! I don’t care if the script ain’t right.”
He also added that he won’t be involved in the recently announced Beverly Hills Cop IV film because, “the movie wasn’t ready to be done.”
Latino Review spoke with Brett Ratner who put his tan smack down on those MTV-bred rumors that “Beverly Hills Cop 4” would be PG. Evidently this was before Murphy expressed his displeasure with the film’s progress…
“Dont believe everything you read on the internet. Believe me, this is going to be a hard core ‘R’ Beverly Hills Cop. I start shooting next year”
