“Jerry Bruckheimer, the original producer. When he got involved and started developing the script, he knew what Beverly Hills Cop was supposed to be. When he got involved again, that’s when it all started to fall into place.

It was like, ‘It just isn’t. Jerry Bruckheimer went back in there, and he knows what he’s doing, and he put it together. He did (Top Gun: Maverick) last year, and Bad Boys is Jerry Bruckheimer. So we have the same brain behind Beverly Hills Cop, and it put all the pieces in place that were required for us to make a great movie and I’m excited for people to see it,” he revealed.
