Trailer for Eddie Murphy's Action Comedy BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F
Netflix has released a full trailer for Eddie Murphy’s highly anticipated comedy, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Murphy is back in the role of Detective Axel Foley, and he finds himself in another wild adventure in the land of 90210.
The last time we saw Murphy in this role was in the 1994 film Beverly Hills Cop III, which was directed by John Landis. The new movie looks like it could be fun, and the filmmakers definitely are trying to bring in some high comedic energy.
In the film, “Detective Axel Foley is back on the beat in Beverly Hills. After his daughter’s life is threatened, she and Foley team up with a new partner and old pals Billy Rosewood and John Taggart to turn up the heat and uncover a conspiracy.”
Taylour Paige stars as Foley’s criminal defense attorney daughter who pulls her dad into a California-based case – where he’ll cause issues for Kevin Bacon’s LAPD special-unit officer, and team up with a new partner, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
When previously talking about the film and Murphy’s partnership with Gordon-Levitt, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said: “He gets stuck with Axel and they are hysterical together. Joseph is such a great straight man for Eddie.”
The producer goes on to talk about the tone of the film, saying: “It’s about the emotion. No matter how funny it is, how much great action it has, it’s all about the heartstrings.”
The movie is being directed by Mark Molloy. Murphy is also joined in the film by Taylour Paige, Judge Reinhold, Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot, and more.
Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F is set to hit Netflix on July 3rd.
