Award-wining writer-directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are set to helm "Beverly Hills Cop IV".
El Arbi and Fallah are filmmakers of Moroccan heritage who studied at the Luca School of Arts in Brussels, reported Ace Showbiz.
Both directed short film "Broeders" and feature film "Image".
The duo gained recognition after winning TIFF's Discovery Award last year when they premiered their edgy drama "Black".
The drama focuses on a 15-year-old girl in a black gang in Brussels who falls for a Moroccan boy from a rival gang, who later must choose between loyalty and love.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Eddie Murphy were impressed by the duo's work on "Black".
They met El Arbi and Fallah and were surprised to find out that the original "Beverly Hills Cop" was very important to El Arbi and Fallah as filmmakers.
The two were tapped to tackle the helming duty after Brett Ratner dropped out of the project.
The story will center on Axel Foley (Murphy), who returns to Detroit after leaving his job in Beverly Hills.
