How ironic.

Earlier this week, I wrote about Brett Ratner possibly doing a God of War movie and how bad he would be for it (see Brett Ratner to Direct “˜God of War’?). Now comes word of another movie he is in talks to direct — Beverly Hills Cop 4.

THIS is a movie that I can see Brett Ratner directing. It’s very likely to be nothing like the other BHC movies and also very likely to get the cold, hard PG-13 treatment, but who knows, maybe they’ll pull a shiny miracle out of their ass.

Eddie Murphy is apparently already attached to reprise his role, which I think could be good for him — he needs to step away from the awful crap he’s been doing and get back into movies made for adults — but this of course means avoiding the aforementioned PG-13 rating and sticking to the Beverly Hills Cop roots.

This could officially (and somewhat confusingly) make Brett Ratner a very busy man, as this and that Playboy movie that he’s supposedly making with Robert Downey Jr. as Hef could be all-but-sealed. Add the rumored God of War gig and he’s booked, but let us hope that all the other stuff leaves him little time to dance with Kratos.
