We’re heading back to the ritziest part of Los Angeles in the upcoming film “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley,” the long-awaited fourth entry in the “Beverly Hills Cop” franchise. The first one came out in 1984, starring Eddie Murphy as a police officer who heads to Beverly Hills to solve the murder of his best friend. It spawned two sequels; “Beverly Hills Cop II” in 1987 and “Beverly Hills Cop III” in 1994. 

Also starring in the film was Paul Reiser (“Stranger Things,” “Mad About You”), who played the character of Jeffrey. Though Reiser didn’t make it into the third film, he’ll be back for the fourth, along with Murphy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Taylour Paige, James Preston Rogers, and James Aviel. 

Reiser is also starring in the new sitcom “Reboot,” about the cast of an early 2000s sitcom that is getting rebooted with the original actors. The new series premiered on September 20, 2022, with its first three episodes. /Film’s own Ethan Anderton spoke to Reiser and co-star Rachel Bloom about “Reboot” and asked him about the upcoming “Beverly Hills Cop” film. 

‘He Actually Didn’t Quite Look 23 Anymore’

Reiser was asked about reuniting with Eddie Murphy for the fourth film in a series that has spanned almost four decades. Reiser joked that he tries to “help Eddie out whenever I can and to boost his career. So it’s an honor.” The “Stranger Things” star also had something to say about the fact that Eddie Murphy looks pretty similar to when the first movie premiered, saying, “I was finally glad to see that he actually didn’t quite look 23 anymore. It’s like, a year ago, this f***ing guy looks exactly the same.”

I mean, he’s not wrong. Reiser also reminisced about the amount of time that has passed since the first film. “We were chatting,” Reiser said, “and I remember, I was at his 21st birthday party, which was at Studio 54, or whatever Studio 54 became. And now, we’re in our 60s, even Eddie’s in his 60s. I’m like, ‘That’s a long span. We’ve been doing this a while.'”

Maybe it’s best not to think about how long it’s been since that first film. Reiser even joked about meeting up again and “jarring names out of our brains that have not been uttered for 40 years.”

Did We Learn Nothing From Zoom?

As Reiser was talking, Bloom looked up some pictures that leaked from the set of “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley,” including one of Reiser in sweatpants. When she found them, he said he was glad it was a picture of him walking. “It wasn’t like picking my nose or whatever.” He explained that he was supposed to be driving in the film and was told that no one would see his legs or feet. 

Who among us hasn’t gotten up during a Zoom meeting and forgotten that they were wearing penguin pajamas or something? Stars, they’re just like us! 

Bloom got in on the conversation as well, saying that she’s in a new “Rush Hour” film. She joked, “It hasn’t been announced yet, but I play a gun … boom, boom, boom.” To be fair, if anyone could pull that off, it’s probably Bloom!

“Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley” is directed by Mark Molloy with a script from Will Beall. We’ll keep you updated on all the developments. Meanwhile, the first three episodes of “Reboot” are now available to stream on Hulu, with new episodes every Tuesday on the platform.

Eddie Murphy was the surest of bets in the 1980s. At the age of 19, he single-handedly yanked “Saturday Night Live” back from the brink of cancellation after the departure of the original cast, and was all of 21 when he shot to big-screen stardom opposite Nick Nolte in Walter Hill’s action-comedy classic, “48 Hrs.” His second feature, “Trading Places,” was also a critical and commercial hit, while his stand-up LP “Eddie Murphy: Comedian” went platinum. By 1984, Murphy was so hot, Paramount inserted him into the finished Dudley Moore comedy “Best Defense” in the hopes that he could enliven the deathly unfunny film with his ad-libbed brilliance. It didn’t work, but no one held it against Murphy. The movie was just that bad.

There was no question that Murphy had turned into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars overnight, but his first two hits had been two-handers. He had yet to carry a film on his own. So more than a few eyebrows arched when Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer cast him as Axel Foley in “Beverly Hills Cop.” For close to a decade, Paramount had developed the movie as a fish-out-of-water action flick. Mickey Rourke was once eyed as the leading man, and the movie came very close to production with Sylvester Stallone as the loose-cannon detective who shakes up the tony Los Angeles neighborhood while trying to track down the drug traffickers who killed his best friend.

This sounded a bit like “Best Defense” redux: a troubled project hastily retrofitted to accommodate Murphy’s comedic genius. It wasn’t long into production, however, that director Martin Brest, who repeatedly turned down the movie until he literally lost a coin flip, realized he had a potential blockbuster on his hands. This Murphy kid was the goods.

The Blockbuster No One, Save For Paramount, Saw Coming

Paramount had high hopes for “Beverly Hills Cop” going into 1984’s holiday season, but the buzz was primarily focused on ambitious sci-fi movies like “Dune,” “2010” and “Starman.” There was also Francis Ford Coppola’s pricey gangland epic “The Cotton Club” and another cop comedy in the Clint Eastwood-Burt Reynolds vehicle “City Heat.” Eddie would bury them all.

According to Nick De Semlyen’s immensely entertaining “Wild and Crazy Guys: How the Comedy Mavericks of the ’80s Changed Hollywood Forever,” the studio was so excited by the euphoric response to an early test screening that they pumped an extra $ 2 million into the advertising budget, went wide on over 1,500 screens and opened the movie two days early on a Wednesday (a move typically reserved for event films). Paramount got a jump on the December competition, and, by Christmas, “Beverly Hills Cop” was the only wide-release movie anyone was talking about.

In the view of the film’s co-screenwriter, Daniel Petrie Jr., the film’s success hinged not just on Murphy’s high-wattage appeal, but in its subversion of cop movie cliches.

“In most films the cop wakes up alone in a sh***y apartment, has a cup of horrible coffee, then gets served divorce papers by his wife. But in this one you can see the enjoyment pouring out of Eddie all the time. Even though he’s at odds with all the people around him, he charms them all.”

Let’s Do The Neutron Dance Again

“Beverly Hills Cop” blew past the $ 100 million barrier in early January 1985, while the aforementioned would-be blockbusters languished. 20th Century Fox president Tom Sherak groused that Murphy was “the Grinch that stole Christmas.” Amazingly, the film hung out in the top five of the U.S. box office until Memorial Day, and bucked the video rental market by hitting VHS in the fall of 1985 at a priced-to-sell $ 29.99 (at the time, most new releases cost an obscene $ 79.99).

Hollywood responded by rushing a number of imitation action-comedies into production. Some were pretty good (Brest’s “Midnight Run” wound up becoming the platonic ideal of the subgenre), but the formula quickly grew stale. Murphy eventually lost interest as well. He’s completely checked out in “Another 48 Hrs.,” and couldn’t get it out of third gear in “Beverly Hills Cop III.” This makes it difficult to work up any real enthusiasm for the currently shooting “Beverly Hills Cop IV.” Murphy is now 61. He’s older than Bill Cosby was when he made “Ghost Dad.” Though he proved he still had his fastball when he hosted “Saturday Night Live” in 2019, he sleep-walked through 2021’s “Coming 2 America.”

If you grew up in the 1980s, you’re instinctively rooting for Murphy. It wasn’t just his generational talent. It was his age. He paid his nightclub dues while most kids are doing their geometry homework. He was so very far ahead of schedule, and shone so brightly at multiple stages of his career. Barring a late-breaking miracle, “Beverly Hills Cop” will remain the apex. No one was ever funnier or more magnetic. Arguably, no one was ever a bigger star.

RELATED STORIES

It’s appropriate that Monday’s episode of The Hills: New Beginnings took place at Thanksgiving, because most of the hour was spent feasting on leftover drama. And they barely even bothered to heat it back up first.

As an appetizer, we got a predictably uncomfortable holiday at Spencer at Heidi’s, featuring Stephanie as literally their only dinner guest. And they shushed her when she arrived because Gunner was asleep, so things got off to a solid start. Anyway, Stephanie whispered to them about her fight with Brody, causing Spencer’s face to light up like it was suddenly Christmas morning. This was easily the most cordial conversation Spencer and Stephanie have had all season, which actually shouldn’t be surprising. Of course the secret to repairing the Pratt siblings’ fractured relationship is simply giving them a common enemy. They’re like the Wonder Twins, only not twins. And their only power is drama.

Then came the main course: Friendsgiving at Frankie’s, where Justin Bobby arrived with a busty Stephanie look-alike as his date. Did I mention that they met on Instagram, and that they’re still figuring out where things are going? That all seems kind of important. Also important was Audrina noting, “This chick is literally serving her boobs on a platter… for everyone.”

Dessert was served in the form of a highly anticipated Stephanie-Audrina showdown, but it wasn’t quite as satisfying as I hoped. Stephanie asked for an apology, but Audrina refused to oblige, adding that Stephanie takes things too far. Honestly, it’s hard to watch these grown women fight over a man-child who’s clearly manipulating them. As always, for someone who claims to hate drama, Justin Bobby is doing the absolute most.

Also worth discussing…

* Confirmed: Mischa will not be playing Ruth the Brothel Worker in whatever indie movie she’s been auditioning for. “I didn’t get it,” she revealed this week. “They’re going with someone musical, I guess?” (In other news, I’ll be spending the next few hours scouring IMDb for answers.)

* As always, the time spent at Brody’s mom’s house was the most interesting part of the episode. That woman seems like a saint.

RELATED STORIES

It took six weeks, but we finally reached the “new beginnings” part of The Hills: New Beginnings on Monday, courtesy of comeback queens Mischa Barton and Heidi Montag. Once titans of their respective industries, Mischa (empress of television) and Heidi (mistress of music) have decided that it’s time to get back to business, leading to arguably the biggest twist in Hills-tory.

We’re talking, of course, about Heidi’s decision to become a Christian recording artist and release a “faith-based” song. Did we miss the episode where Heidi found religion? Either way, we hope her new material doesn’t stray too far from the lyrics she crooned back in 2010: “They say I’m superficial / Some call me a bitch / They’re just mad cause I’m sexy, famous and I’m rich.”

Meanwhile, Mischa — voted 2004’s Breakout Female TV Star by the Teen Choice Awards jury — went on her first acting audition since parting ways with her momager a few years ago. We still don’t know the name of the project, but we’ve gathered that it’s a period piece (1960s?) and requires Mischa to put on her best Designing Women voice as a brothel worker named Ruth. “If all the cards are right and fall into place, this could be a total comeback,” Mischa said. (Mixed metaphors aside, we’re rooting for her.)

Elsewhere this week…

* Stephanie, Audrina and Joey had a long-overdue sit-down to hash out all this Justin Bobby nonsense, and it accomplished… absolutely nothing. Stephanie insisted (for the millionth time) that she never hooked up with Justin Bobby, so Audrina — desperate for any opportunity to keep this imaginary love triangle afloat — decided to take a new approach: “I don’t even care if you did or didn’t.” What?! We haven’t been this confused since Spencer brought up the multiverse during his latest business update.

* The madness continued during a post-fight spat between Audrina and Justin Bobby, which ended with her telling him he’s “not that special” and asking, “Why are you such a d—k?” (With this relationship officially squashed, and Stephanie [possibly] not returning, The Hills is going to be hurting for romantic drama next season. Perhaps it’ll be time for some actual new beginnings.)

* Just asking… When is someone going to figure out that Frankie is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?

RELATED STORIES

Even though Monday’s episode of The Hills: New Beginnings was mostly just footage of women greeting each other at boutiques, MTV also gave us exactly what we came for: thinly veiled advertisements for Spencer Pratt’s totally legitimate crystal company.

Pratt Daddy Crystals — a real thing with a real website — was first mentioned during a gathering at Pamela Anderson’s house, or as The Hills blasphemously refers to it, “Brandon’s mom’s house.” Though he spent most of his time duping bikini-clad strangers into posting pictures of his crystals on Instagram, Spencer also tried to push his product on his “friends,” including Brody Jenner. You see, Spencer’s extremely concerned by the fact that Brody no longer enjoys getting wasted in the middle of the day. “This is not the Brody I grew up with,” Spencer said, thus completing his transformation into an actual cartoon devil.

The drama continued at Justin Bobby’s sparsely attended “a-cue-stic” concert, where Spencer and Brody finally confronted their lifeless shell of a friendship. In addition to feeling like Brody isn’t being his “real” self now that he’s married, Spencer’s still upset that his former BFF never made an effort to meet his son. (Unless, of course, Gunner’s “assistant” forgot to invite Brody to his first birthday party!) Either way, this feud isn’t likely to end soon. As Spencer so poetically explained, “It’s very Game of Thrones-ish.”

Also worth discussing…

* At this point, I don’t even feel like discussing the Audrina-Stephanie-Justin Bobby triangle. None of them seem to have a clue what they want, so let’s just sit back while they tire themselves out.

* That said, I could listen to Justin Bobby discuss the various sub-categories of humans all day long: “I’m a man’s man. I like to see a woman’s woman. There’s boy’s boys, there’s girl’s girls, there’s young adults, then there’s adolescents, and then there’s guys and girls, and then there’s men and women.” (If you thought you lost brain cells reading that “sentence,” just imagine how many I lost by transcribing it.)

* Audrina apparently went on a blind date with Jason’s friend Matt — and you’d have to be blind not to notice the disturbing resemblance between the two. What’s really going on here?

* Heidi’s friends think she and Spencer have the most “solid” relationship of everyone in their group. Little do they know, Spencer and Heidi actually had their souls tethered together by a swamp witch somewhere around the turn of the century. Their futures are no longer theirs to choose.

* If you take Spencer’s story about starting his company out of context, it totally sounds like he’s talking about meth: “I was blowing all of my money on crystals, so I started selling crystals… so I could buy more crystals.”

With another week of TV gone by, we’re lobbing queries left and right about shows including Big Little Lies, Instinct, The Loudest Voice and Stranger Things!

1 | On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., does it not quite track that Daisy is being so cold to Deke after being apart for more than a year? (Like, if he was never formally a part of the team, why hold it against him for moving on/exploring our world?)

Big Little Lies2 | On Big Little Lies, were you slightly disappointed that Meryl Streep’s Mary Louise didn’t crash Amabella’s birthday party (as implausible and contrived as it would’ve been to see her there)? And which character pulled off the best disco look for said celebration?

3 | Did the opening scene of The Loudest Voice — in which a waitress wished Roger Ailes a “Happy holidays,” and he grunted back, “Merry Christmas” — make you roll your eyes? And which scene was more cringe-inducing: Ailes’ meet-up with former Bush Sr. campaign staffer Laurie Luhn, or his handsy interview with the young brunette?

4 | While Instinct‘s Dylan may be an entertaining lecturer, would college students applaud their regular professor? Also, can we talk about how impractically fashionable/expensive Lizzie’s wardrobe looks this season?

5 | Did you get a kick out of Burden of Truth‘s mini Rookie Blue reunion between Peter Mooney and Matt Gordon (aka Officer Oliver Shaw)?

6 | Can The Hills: New Beginnings please explain — in excruciating detail — what a baby’s “assistant” does? Could the show’s makeup product placement have been any more obvious? And was Jason’s transformation into devoted father and husband the most surprising?

7 | Was it a bit weird that The Code this week basically sidelined two of the women, with wedding planning and family matters? And speaking of the former, are you kind of glad that Harper’s marriage hit the skids?

8 | Though you may have foreseen The Detour‘s episode-ending reveal, wasn’t it still good ‘n’ creepy ‘n’ dark-ish?

9 | On The Handmaid’s Tale, wasn’t the sexy, sultry tango kind of an odd choice for Fred and Serena to bust out in front of all the other commanders and their wives?

10 | Shouldn’t The InBetween’s Cassie call on one of her police department pals before heading out… alone… to a super–sketchy part of town…. at night… to seek out a dead body?

11 | Does Stranger Things keep saddling each of the boys with the same exact hairstyles (poor, poor Will!) out of some fear we’d lose track of who is whom? Also, for an elite operative, could the Terminator-like Russian who hunted Hopper been any less stealthy? And given the repeated Phoebe Cates mentions, did you expect the Fast Times alum to actually show up, in the flesh?

12 | What was the point of A Capitol Fourth‘s jumbotron screen if it didn’t magnify the on-stage action for those seated far away?

13 | Did NBC’s lead-up to the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular not get the “This Is Me” memo? (The holiday presentations in both Boston and Washington, D.C.’s featured live performances of the Greatest Showman anthem.)

14 | Millions of dollars spent on a televised Fourth of July spectacle, and no one thought to buy a squeegee?

RELATED STORIES

New beginnings began anew on Monday with the premiere of The Hills: New Beginnings, MTV’s long-awaited (and bizarrely edited) revival of its classic reality soap opera.

We entered New Beginnings with two burning questions: First, will any characters discuss The Hills‘ original finale, which revealed the entire series to have been scripted? And perhaps more importantly, how does former O.C. star Mischa Barton fit into this equation? (We also have endless questions about the show’s decision to credit Barton as “introducing,” but those feel like off-camera discussions.)

Monday’s all-over-the-place premiere (titled “I Don’t Hold Grudges… JK!”) answered one of those questions, but like all timeless works of art, it also presented us with a slew of fresh head-scratchers. For example: How did Michael Strahan and Sara Haines wind up hosting this after show?

To sort through all the madness, here’s a rundown of everything we learned in New Beginnings‘ debut hour (and seven minutes):

* Now a divorced single mother, Audrina Patridge has had a “crazy couple of years,” all of which she recapped during a totally organic conversation with Heidi Pratt and Whitney Port on the first night in her new home. (You’ve got to appreciate Audrina’s priorities: This girl hasn’t unpacked a single box, yet she’s already hosting get-togethers with frenemies she hasn’t seen in nearly a decade.)

* Audrina also “can’t shake” her lingering feelings for Justin Bobby (aka the ’90s John Stamos of reality television), which led to an uncomfortable non-date in the first hour. Audrina’s mother, presumably a licensed healthcare professional, advised her daughter to “use, like, 30 condoms” if they decided to have sex.

* Speaking of moms being moms, Pamela Anderson is adorably close with her 23-year-old son Brandon Lee, a childhood friend of Brody Jenner’s. For the record, Brandon doesn’t think of her as a sex symbol. Now, he just thinks of her as someone who “moved to France when Trump got elected and was like, ‘Peace out!’”

* Despite projecting an image of inner peace, noted crystal aficionado Spencer Pratt remains at odds with his sister Stephanie, who has returned to Los Angeles from London (new accent explained!) to repair the bridge of their relationship — which she’ll probably refer to as their “London Bridge,” because she’s British now.

* Speaking of Spencer, he revealed that he would “love to be famous again.” Hold for audience gasps.

* Brody and his “nightmare” wife are having marital problems, none of which have to do with the fact that she shares a name with his father:

The Hills Women

* We sort of got an answer to the Mischa Barton of it all. She’s friends with Stephanie. They attended the London Royal Academy of Fake Accents together.

* For a show filmed in 2019, New Beginnings references Perez Hilton a lot.

Beverly Hills 90210, the hit ’90s show about teenagers being played by 30-year-olds, is coming back. The Beverly Hills 90210 revival is set to feature original cast members Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Jason Priestley, Ian Ziering, Brian Austin Green and Gabrielle Carteris, provided a network or streaming service picks it up. The cast is, of course, much older now, so it’s unlikely they’ll still be trying to pass as teenagers. But that would be pretty funny.

The dream of the ’90s is alive…on television. Revivals of shows from the 1990s are all the rage at the moment, and the latest title being considered for a comeback is Beverly Hills, 90210. Created by Darren Star, Beverly Hills 90210 launched on Fox in 1990, following “a group of friends living in the upscale and star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California as they transition from high school to college and into the adult world.” The series began with rather poor ratings, but eventually picked up a following to become wildly popular. It ran for 10 seasons, ending in 2000.

Now, it might come back, with much of the original cast returning. Earlier this year, original cast member Tori Spelling let slip that a potential revival was in the works. Now, Deadline confirms that revival is very much real, and being shopped around to networks and streaming services. The revival is a “scripted project from CBS TV Studios features most of the original cast but is not a traditional reboot.”

In case you forgot or never noticed, 90210 already had one reboot. Simply called 90210, the reboot premiered in 2008 on the CW, and ran until 2013. That series followed “the lives of several wealthy students attending West Beverly Hills High School in the upscale and star-studded community of Beverly Hills, California. The show later focused on the same group of friends when they graduate and begin their lives in the adult world. Some attend college at California University, while others begin exploring avenues beyond post-secondary education.” But this sounds different. Reports indicate the actors are playing “exaggerated versions of themselves”, which suggests the show might be something of a parody. Like Galaxy Quest, but with the 90210 cast, maybe. Or maybe I’ve got it all wrong.

Either way, the project definitely exists in some form, and should a network pick it up, we’ll likely see it soon. Having never watched the original 90210, this news really means nothing to me. I was always more of a Melrose Place guy. Let me know when they bring that back instead. For now, let’s all watch the original opening credits for Beverly Hills, 90210, and marvel at how outlandishly ’90s they look.
