(CelebNMusic247) CBS Green Lights Eddie Murphy‘s Beverly Hills Cop Pilot
Eddie Murphy is set to bring his beloved franchise Beverly Hills Cop to the small screen, as CBS has ordered a pilot from Murphy and Shawn Ryan, the creator of The Shield.
Ryan will serve as show runner of the proposed series.
Multiple industry insiders tell us Ryan, Murphy and Sony Pictures Television have partnered on a small screen adaptation of the massively successful film franchise, and that broadcast networks began hearing their pitch on the spin-off this afternoon. And here’s the kicker: In addition to his main role as an exec producer, Murphy has agreed to an on-camera role in the show.
Beverly Hills Cop would focus on Axel’s blue-collar Detroit police officer son, Aaron, and his fish-out-of-water efforts to take down criminals in Beverly Hills while living in his father’s shadow, according to Vulture.
Did you know that CBS is also rebooting the classic family series, The Brady Bunch?
Its TRUE, CBS is currently working on The Brady Bunch new show focusing on the family’s youngest son, Bobby. Word is, actor Vince Vaughn is behind the reboot.
Sounds like it could be cool if they don’t stray from the classic outline of the series.
