Oh, can it be 100 entries already? It seems like just yesterday that this site was a tiny little corner of the internet tucked away where nobody could find it...oh right. Anyway:

Did you ever think that the Universe was listening to you? Can it be coincidence that I write an article about long-awaited sequels, only to wake up and find this on the internets?

Paramount is developing a fourth installment of Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy reprising his role as Detroit detective Axel Foley. Murphy reportedly took the idea for another movie to the studio, which was looking to do another project with him following the Karey Kirkpatrick-directed NowhereLand, which Paramount releases in June 2009. The fourth Cop movie is set to start production some time next year for a summer 2010 release, with Brett Ratner in talks to direct.

For the record, the abortion that was Beverly Hills Cop 3 was released in 1994, meaning it will be a 16-year gap once the next one is released in 2010.  Or, if you prefer to think that Beverly Hills Cop 3 never happened, as many do, it will be a whopping 23 years since Beverly Hills Cop 2.

Brett Ratner, in case you weren't aware, was the high-priced directorial talent with such masterpieces under his belt as Rush Hour, Rush Hour 2, and, uh, Rush Hour 3.  Oh and that last X-Men movie that sucked alot. 

On a scale of 1-10, how excited do you think Judge Reinhold was to hear this news? 100? 1000? He's probably sitting by the phone right now in his Beverly Hills Cop jacket, chewing on his fingernails...
