But does anybody else agree?
This could be the most exciting sequel news since Sylvester Stallone decided to do a sixth "Rocky" film and perhaps the most exciting news ever for Judge Reinhold fans.
According to Variety, Murphy and producer Lorenzo de Bonaventura are eager to resurrect wisecracking detective Axel Foley for Paramount. The property is currently out to writers with original ideas for things to do with a fish-out-of-water cop.
While the first two "Beverly Hills Cop" films, released in 1984 and 1987, made more than $600 million worldwide, the third entry, released to critical disgust in 1994, limped to slightly more than $40 million domestically.
The trade paper reports that Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the first two films with the late Don Simpson, won't be involved with the fourth film.
In addition to the upcoming "Dreamgirls," Murphy as "Norbit" and a third "Shrek" film on tap.
