Beverly Hills Cop 4
“Bad Boys for Life” directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah have offered an update on the Eddie Murphy-led fourth “Beverly Hills Cop” movie which they are slated to direct. The pair say the project is still in the scripting phase but there’s still plenty of movement on it.
They say: “We’re still involved in that project, and there’s a screenwriter now on it that’s going to try to write a first draft, or a first treatment at least with the story. So we’re going to see what the first version will be, but we’re very excited and hope that we can work with another icon like Eddie Murphy. That’d be great.” [Source: Digital Spy]
Lost
Executive producer Jean Higgins has shot down any talk of a revival of iconic ABC mystery series “Lost”. She says someone she works with recently asked her about the idea after hearing a rumor the series was coming back. Higgins had to explain to them that: “If I was going to do ‘Lost,’ you’d be the first person I’d call. No, there’s no ‘Lost.’ I don’t know if you could do it again. It’s lightning in a bottle. I think it would be okay, but it would always be compared to the first.” [Source: The Observer]
