\"Anytime [Murphy] walks on set, you never know what you're going to get. And it's always pretty brilliant,\" said Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original trilogy and is back for the fourth installment, speaking with Empire. \"Every day he's there throws you back to the '80s.\"

The article also notes the newcomers who will be joining Murphy in the fourth \"Beverly Hills Cop\" film, which is directed by Mark Molloy: Taylour Paige as Axel's criminal defense attorney daughter, Kevin Bacon as a special-unit officer for the LAPD, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Axel's new partner.

Returning to the fold are Axel's detective pals Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Taggart (John Ashton) and Friedman (Paul Reiser). Also on board is scene-stealer Bronson Pinchot as Serge.

\"It's about the emotion,\" Bruckheimer teased of the forthcoming film. \"No matter how funny it is, how much great action it has, it's all about the heartstrings.\"
