After going through at least a half dozen big-name script writers and languishing in development hell for more than two decades, Will Beall finally cracked the story that would become “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” which Netflix released worldwide last week.

Beall’s connection to the franchise runs deep. He fondly recalls seeing the original 1984 film when he was 12, describing it as “one of those experiences at the movie theaters I’ve never forgotten. I went to see the movie with my granddad and walked out of it feeling like I’ve been to a party with the whole audience.”

“I feel like there’s a very limited number of perfect movies were not a single thing I would change about them and the original ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ is certainly one of them,” Beall said.
