Why the Beverly Hills Cop Show Failed
Shooting on Paramount Pictures' Beverly Hills Cop 4 won't begin until the studio is able to get the script "right," according to the film's star, Eddie Murphy.
When asked if shooting will begin next month, Murphy told Playboy, "I don’t think it’s gonna happen in March, but it is gonna be in Detroit. And before it happens, they’ve got to get that script right. That movie has to be right. The third Beverly Hills Cop was garbage. Those movies, when I travel overseas, people say
'Hey, Beverly Hills Cop! Axel Foley!' They call me that s**t. All the movies I’ve done, and they call me that. If we do that movie, it has to be right. Not just thrown together to get a big check. I don’t need anymore of those."

From Robocop to Suicide Squad?
Robocop and The Killing's Joel Kinnaman may be joining the ranks of the big screen Suicide Squad.
According to Latino-Review, the actor is being eyed to replace Tom Hardy in the role of the squad's field commander, Rick Flag.
The Hollywood Reporter goes one further and claims Kinnaman is "in early talks" for the film.
Hardy dropped out of the project in January; he and Kinnaman actually co-star together in the forthcoming thriller Child 44.
Space Invaders Movie Still in Development
It had been awhile since we'd heard any updates on the Space Invaders movie, but it looks like Warner Bros. is still moving forward with the project.
Deadline reports that the studio has hired Black List writer Dan Kunka to pen the script for their movie adaptation, based on the classic 1980s arcade game. According to the site, "Kunka has experience finding movies out of high concept, as evidenced by how he made the Black List when he converted a 52-page spec Yellowstone Falls into a film about wolves fighting zombies."

Will Smith’s “Most Painful Failure”
Even Will Smith makes mistakes. Smith has maintained relatively silent about the mediocre reaction to his 2013 sci-fi film After Earth... until now. The star has finally opened up about the fallout of After Earth's critical/financial failure, referring to it as the "most painful failure" in his career.
Speaking to Esquire, Smith was reminded of a quote from his TV aunt on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: “Don’t let success go to your head and success go to your heart.” The quote prompted Smith to recall the lesson he learned following After Earth's poor box office numbers.
