In the last couple years, we have seen revivals of the Rocky (1976-1990), Indiana Jones (1981-1989), Rambo (1982-1988) and Die Hard (1988-1995) franchises … and we could even add original-series Star Trek (1979-1991) to the list, since the new film is bringing back Leonard Nimoy as Spock … so hey, why not revive Beverly Hills Cop (1984-1994), too?
They were talking about it two years ago, but now, says Variety, they have a director attached … and it’s Brett Ratner.
I have to ask: Does this mean that that Ratner-directed, Eddie Murphy-starring remake of The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957) is now more likely to get made, or less likely to get made?
