Beverly Hills Cop 4 Put On The Shelf

Announced at the end of 2013, word on the developing Beverly Hills Cop 4 has been notably scarce in the months since. So it's perhaps no surprise that the Axel Foley fourquel has been pulled from the release schedules for the time being. It won't now arrive on March 25, 2016, although Eddie Murphy and Brett Ratner remain attached, respectively, to star and direct when and if the project eventually moves forward. Industry suspicions had already been aroused when Paramount moved its big-hitter Monster Trucks to a March, 2016 release date. But while it sounds bad, Foley may also be dodging a bullet, since he won't now share his comeback slot with Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice . That's a fight he was never going to win. Beverly Hills Cop 4 was one of the earliest announced projects to come from Jerry Bruckheimer's exit from Disney and return to his former home at Paramount. Following an abandoned attempt at a TV series (with which Bruckheimer had no involve

Hercules Review: Solidly Entertaining Summer Fare

Dwayne Johnson's Hercules is simply enjoyable, but check your expectations at the door. Director Brett Ratner gets so little respect these days, and who can blame us? After the disastrous X-Men: The Last Stand sent the franchise to ground until 2011, he hasn't exactly won us over with other tripe like Tower Heist . So, it's with a great sigh of relief that I can say Hercules is a highly entertaining, suitably grand, and a well-paced historical action piece, so long as you check expectations at the door. The son of Zeus, Hercules (Dwayne Johnson) has made a name for himself, completing the Seven Labors set forth by a jealous Hera and attaining the title of demi-god. But his achievements hide a deep secret. One of them is that he had help in his labors - among them the warrior Autolycus (Rufus Sewell), the seer Amphiaraus (Ian McShane), and the Amazon Atalanta (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal). His travels eventually take him to the kingdom of Thrace where King Cotys (Joh

Trailer For Jersey Boys Is Here

Here is the first trailer for Jersey Boys . The musical biography drama directed by Clint Eastwood based on the Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys. The film tells the story of the musical group The Four Seasons . The clip begins with The Four Seasons singing under a street lamp and follows their rise to performing for cheering crowds. The trailer shows Bob Gaudio ( Erich Bergen ) first hearing Frankie Valli's voice. "I heard 'em all, but I never heard a voice like Frankie Valli's. I know I need to write for this voice," Gaudio tells the audience. As the band becomes increasingly successful, getting their songs on the radio, performing on TV and being swarmed by adoring fans, one of the members, Tommy DeVito ( Vincent Piazza ), gets into trouble and starts fighting with Valli ( John Lloyd Young ). Eastwood directed and produced the Warner Bros. film, which also stars Christopher Walken. The film was co-produced by Brett Ratner's RatPac Enterta

Trailer For Hercules Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

If you've ever dreamed of seeing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running up a tree and clubbing a gigantic wild boar about the face with a big club, this is the day you've been waiting for. The trailer for Hercules is here. Directed by Brett Ratner and centring on the myths surrounding – you guessed it – Hercules, everyone's favourite Greek demi-god, this promises to be a darn sight grittier than Disney's talking imp-filled version from the late '90s. Making things a little simpler, the 12 labors that define the complicated hero have already been completed by the time this film's action starts, though as you can see from the trailer, some are shown in flashback (which explains the giant wild boar). Shot in Budapest and requiring eight months of solid workout time for the Fast & Furious star, it's less green screen and more red blood. Adapted from the Radical Comics title, the plot sees the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter see

Beverly Hills Cop 4 Is On!

While we're on the subject of belated action comedy sequels, there's a new/old game afoot at Paramount . Recently cut loose from his erstwhile home at Disney, super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer has rocked up to a new deal at Paramount. First among his first-looks is the long-gestating fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie. Eddie Murphy has already signed on to return to his signature role as Axel Foley, and Brett Ratner - who's been on board since at least 2008 - is attached to direct. Last we heard, Beverly Hills Cop was being retooled as a TV series, under the aegis of The Shield's Shawn Ryan. Barry Sonnenfeld directed a pilot that starred Brandon T. Jackson as Foley's son, with Murphy cameoing to hand over the reins and Kevin Pollak as a Beverly Hills PD lawyer. CBS declined to pick it up for a series, however. Jackson claimed it was because the show was "too edgy" for them. So we're back once again to the plan for a fourth movie, which Deadline

Dwayne Johnson Will Be Hercules

Man-mountain, gymspiration, walking charm factory and friend to set-visiting journalists Dwayne Johnson was linked back in February with a seemingly perfect role: Hercules . Now, after a few months of negotiation and figuring out his hectic schedule, Johnson has locked in the lead. Brett Ratner will direct the film, which is now being co-produced by Paramount and MGM. The plot will be based on Radical Studios’ Hercules: The Thracian Wars, created by Steve Moore. The story sees the Thracian king* summon Herc and six battle-weary pals, tasking them with getting his army into fighting shape. Lured by the promise of gold and glory, Hercules readily agrees, but soon comes to realise how far he’s fallen from grace and what he might need to do to find some redemption. Ryan Condal adapted the script, which has since seen work from Evan Spiliotopoulos. Once the rest of the cast is set, Ratner plans to begin filming early next year. 2013 will be busy for Johnson, at least in terms
