Brett Ratner has revealed that a fourth instalment of 'Beverly Hills Cop' is in the works.

Both the producer and Eddie Murphy are keen on making the first Axel Foley movie since 1994, something that has become more likely in the wake of the pair coming together to make Tower Heist.

Ratner told Collider: "I think more so now than before because Eddie and I now have a rapport."

When asked if a script is in the works, the producer replied: "We’re not close, but I’m hoping in the next few years there will be one. Eddie and I are even setting up some more of his ideas.

"I’m hoping that we have a long, fruitful relationship. We’re both still very young, believe it or not. Eddie’s only 50 years old, so I think we have a little bit of time to come up with a great 'Beverly Hills Cop'."

Ratner recently played a pivotal role in landing Murphy the hosting gig for next year's Oscar ceremony, ahead of names such as Hugh Jackman and Billy Crystal.

'Tower Heist' is released on November 2.

Hollywood remakes...

The Maltese Falcon (1941) - Not many people know this, but the Humphrey Bogart classic was the third Hollywood attempt at bringing Dashiell Hammet's novel to life. However, the first two were relative duds, but in true Hollywood spirit, third time proved to be a charm. Not only the finest remake ever made, but one of the greatest movies to ever grave a cinema.
