I don't have Netflix so...
Although I assume like Cloverfield Paradox, Paramount will release it to Blu-ray down the line.

Reinhold looks like Mickey Rourke now, so I doubt they'll bring him back. Granted, this almost seems like an Eddie Murphy revival - getting back to his rated R roots more than anything. I approve. Been saying he should have done this years ago.

I'm still not sure this will actually happen. Murphy bailed on the last one literally weeks before shooting was to start. Of course, much of that had to do with the Brett Ratner fallout, so we'll see if they can get this one into production.

If they treat this as a direct sequel to the original, leaving out parts 2 and 3, then it might have a chance.

The Bad Boys, it is safe to say, ain’t going nowhere. The newest feature in the franchise, Bad Boys for Life, dropped in theatres after a 17 year delay after the second one. Stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence came back, mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer came back, but original director Michael Bay did not. Instead, Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, known for acclaimed Belgian crime thrillers like Black, made their Hollywood feature film debut on the threequel. And their debut went swimmingly, earning serious bank at the box office and positive notices from critics. Surely, the world is El Arbi and Fallah’s oyster. What’s next for the duo? Could it be… Beverly Hills Cop 4?
The duo was rumored to be attached to the long-gestating film, including a return to Axel Foley from superstar Eddie Murphy, currently at Netflix. So when Collider’s own Steve Weintraub got a chance to chat with El Arbi and Fallah, he simply had to ask about a Beverly Hills Cop 4 update. And, well, the directors would love it as much as anyone else! “Everybody asks us this question, which is good, because we really want to do that!” responded El Arbi enthusiastically. “That would be an honor.” The duo continued:
Fallah: I think Jerry [Bruckheimer] asked us to be available.
El Arbi: Jerry said it in a press conference in Germany, like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ So I’m like, ‘Okay!'”
Fallah: We ready, we ready.
El Arbi: Because it is our first Hollywood movie, we gotta wait until it comes out to know what the reaction is. And I think that Jerry’s waiting just for that, God willing, it becomes a success, and then he has momentum, and then it’s jump right at it. And we met Eddie Murphy twice and he seems to like us.
Fallah: We were doing the reshoots at Tyler Perry’s studio, and we were shooting Bad Boys, and Eddie was there shooting Coming 2 America.
El Arbi: So we said, ‘We gotta make this happen, we gotta make this moment happen.’ Will, Martin, Wesley Snipes was there too, and Eddie Murphy.
Fallah: We said, ‘Come on everybody, let’s take this fucking epic picture!’
El Arbi: We said, ‘This is gonna be a great social media moment, so let’s do that.’

There seems to be some movement on this as it was just approved for a big CA tax credit.

Beverly Hills Cop 4, the result of a one-time licensing deal between Netflix and Paramount to produce the reboot of the franchise that began in 1984, is set to generate $78 million in qualified spending in the state (defined as below-the-line wages to California workers and payments to in-state vendors) over the course of 58 filming days in the state, including in San Bernardino.

I wonder if the days of watching movies about funny cops are kind of over now.

I hope you are right. I still find bumbling cops very funny.

Neither of those were made in the last 18 months. Landscape has changed a bit.
I'll still watch them as they keep making em, they're still thoroughly entertaining.

I'm guessing the success of Coming 2 America on Netflix has a lot to do with Beverly Hills Cop 4 finally going ahead. I still feel VERY wary about the quality of film we might get.

C2A was an Amazon thing. Was that considered a success? It all depends on who writes the thing imo. Murphy seems to be game for whatever.

There’s just no way it’ll be any good. This thread was created 15 years ago. 15 years of a bunch of creatively bankrupt people mulling over “should we or shouldn’t we make another Beverly Hills Cop movie”. I doubt anyone involved in the production of the film will really give a shit, Eddie first and foremost. And it’s not like someone had a great idea for a new Beverly Hills Cop movie and the script was so great that everyone pounced on it. The powers that be decided there will be sufficient revenue in a 4th installment so they’re just going to hire some hacks to get them from point A to point B. This movie is going to be utter dreck and I will eat my shoe if I am proven wrong.

Beverly Hills Cop III is terrible. Almost veers into Caddyshack II terrirory.

I never watched it. It takes place in an amusement park or something?
I was only intrigued that it was directed by John Landis -- and this was after Eddie told Arsenio that John Landis would be more likely to work with Vic Morrow again than with him. That couldn't have been a very friendly set to work on.
