Brett Ratner's Beverly Hills Cop 4 and the Top Gun sequel are both back on
As reported in September, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer decided to end their once-perfect marriage, following years of increased tension at home and Bruckheimer just leaving his expensive trains everywhere. And now, as in so many break-ups, Bruckheimer is rebounding with an ex and slipping back into old habits: Deadline reports that Bruckheimer has signed a three-year first-look deal with his old paramour Paramount, and the first things they plan to do now that they’re back together will be those long-rumored sequels to Beverly Hills Cop and Top Gun 2. Trying to recapture the magic is never easy, but Bruckheimer and Paramount have already entrusted Beverly Hills Cop 4 to Brett Ratner, the director who recognizes that sometimes, those first relationships are just rehearsals, meant to be ignored by all who aren’t words that Brett Ratner doesn’t say publicly anymore.
