Los Angeles, Oct 27 (IANS) Actor Eddie Murphy is planning to make a TV series about his “Beverly Hills Cop” character Axel Foley’s son.
The actor has ruled out a return to the big screen for a fourth installment of “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise, but is likely to do a cameo in the TV series, reports imdb.com.
“What I’m trying to do now is produce a TV show starring Axel Foley’s son, and Axel is the chief of police now in Detroit. I’d do the pilot, show up here and there,” he told Rolling Stone magazine.
Murphy admits there was talk about a Beverly Hills Cop IV but “none of the movie scripts were right”.
“It was trying to force the premise. If you have to force something, you shouldn’t be doing it. It was always a rehash of the old thing. It was always wrong,” he added.
