| Brandon T. Jackson |
CBS's revamp of the Eddie Murphy movie trilogy "Beverly Hills Cop" has found its lead actor for the television series....YEAH I SAID TELEVISION SERIES!!
Brandon T. Jackson, who played "Alpa Chino" (Rawest Name EVER!!) in the 2008 comedy "Tropic Thunder," has been tapped to star as the lead character in the pilot episode.
The pilot episode will focus on Aaron, who is the son of the Axel Foley character. (Eddie Murphy) Aaron is a blue-collar police officer, who works to take down the criminal elements of the rich and famous, while trying to escape from under his father's long shadow. Sony Pictures Television is producing the project.
Eddie Murphy will appear in the pilot and may recur if the pilot goes to series. Murphy will also Executive Produce with Marney Hochman and "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan, who will write the pilot and serve as showrunner.
All this time I had been wondering if there was going to be another Beverly Hills Cop movie, and here they go plotting and planning an damn TV show!! If the pilot gets picked up for a full series, ima be sure and show some support by programming it inside my DVR. I will be more than willing to at least check out an episode or 2. Other than that...I dunno mann...i'm feeling kinda suspect about the concept, but I most definitely wish Eddie and Brandon the best of luck.
