Beverly Hills Cop: Tropic Thunder's Brandon T. Jackson to Play Axel Foley's Son

Brandon T. Jackson, whose credits include Tropic Thunder and Percy Jackson (We'll forgive him for Big Mamma's House 3), is reportedly in final negotiations for the lead role as the son of Eddie Murphy's Axel Foley in the Beverly Hills Cop TV series pilot. The news was reported by Humor Mill.

Inspired by the film trilogy that launched in 1984, the potential series centers on Foley's son, a Beverly Hills-based cop who is trying to escape the shadow of his father (Murphy), now Chief Of Police in Detroit.

The new Beverly Hills Cop comes from Shawn Ryan (Last Resort, The Shield), and will also feature Murphy in a recurring role, with both men will serve as executive producers.

Guardians of the Galaxy Gets a Rewrite

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is getting a rewrite by scripter Chris McCoy.

According to Heat Vision, McCoy doesn't have any produced credits in Hollywood yet but he is one of those hot up-and-comers -- he's had three spec scripts wind up on the famed Black List, the annual collection of the "best" unproduced scripts in town.

According to HV, McCoy's scripts have been praised "for their quirky comedic bent." Which, let's face it, sounds just about right for a film that's gonna feature a tree man, a green warrior dude and a talking, gun-toting raccoon.

Nicole Perlman wrote the first draft of the screenplay.
