Ask the attached director, [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/person/197471/personmain.jhtml"]Brett Ratner[/url], and he'll tell you he wants to make it happen with Eddie Murphy. But the response is ... rather different if you put the same question to the A-list actor.

MTV News recently caught up with Ratner as he promoted [url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/465269/moviemain.jhtml"]"Tower Heist,"[/url] out this Friday and starring yes, Murphy. The director sounded hopeful about another "Cop" sequel.

"I think one day, I'm hoping, because it is one of the most iconic characters ever," Ratner told us. "Eddie does not go anywhere in the world where they're not like, 'Axel Foley, what's up?' more than 'Eddie Murphy.' It is something that our hope and desire is to get it made."

Much like he did with MTV News, Ratner has spoken on several occasions about his hopes for a fourth movie featuring the legendary Axel Foley, a Detroit cop who finds himself solving crimes in the very posh Beverly Hills.

In the latest issue of [url="http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/news/eddie-murphy-speaks-why-he-s-quitting-family-movies-and-may-return-to-stand-up-20111026"][i]Rolling Stone[/i][/url], however, Eddie Murphy tells the magazine that the possibilities for a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" film are dead.
