This has got to be one of the most surprising moves this season: I’ve learned that CBS has passed on the Beverly Hills Cop reboot from Shawn Ryan and Eddie Murphy. It is likely that the project, which had multiple suitors before landing at CBS in a bidding war last fall, will be shopped elsewhere. Beverly Hills Cop was originally produced by Sony TV. After the project was already picked up to pilot at CBS, Paramount, which is looking to enter the TV business, exercised an option to buy into the show, creating an odd pairing between former corporate siblings Paramount and CBS and toppers Les Moonves and Brad Gray. I hear the pilot will likely be shopped to other networks.
