Beverly Hills Cop Sequel Considers Big Stars For Lead Roles

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – In June of 2016, the new sequel to the class 80s comedy Beverly Hills Cop was revealed to be in development. The project is still in the works, and producers are now considering some big star names – including Channing Tatum or Tom Hardy as the film's main villain, according to Cinema Blend.

Original star Eddie Murphy and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are overseeing the reboot, and selected Belgian directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah last year, according to Gamespot. The film will have a "limited" $50 million budget, according to Den of Geek, and will be shot primarily in Detroit.
