Edward Murphy was born on April 3, 1961 in Brooklyn, New York. He is a Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian. Eddie Murphy also had a minor singing career.

The script is being written by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt , perhaps best known for their work on last summer's Wanted .
Haas tells Moviehole that they're working on a second draft of the script, which has its beginnings... Read Full Story
Another sequel will pretend part of its own history never happened: Beverly Hills
Cop 4 will take place with willful disregard for parts two and three. To confuse matters a little
further, the film might actually be called Beverly Hills Cop , which would make you think it's a remake. That's also untrue. It's just a sequel pretending the previous sequels don't exist and it's not

make much sense... Read Full Story

Names are being tossed around for the roles of The Riddler (previously played by Jim Carrey is the craptastic Batman Forever... Read Full Story

all-time best performance. The sequel was bad, though, and Murphy's choice in
comedies has been way, way, way off base ever since.
The Hollywood Reporter - or THR as lazy people
call it - is running up the flagpole the notion that Universal and Imagine want
a third movie, and they've put an open call out to writers for fresh new ideas.
