Deadline just dropped the news that Paramount has signed a pair of Belgian directors for the fourth Axel Foley installment. Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, known for their Romeo and Juliet update Black, have signed up to direct the project. The harsh but beautiful drama, about a teenage gangster girl who falls for a rival gang member hit hard at the Toronto Film Festival last year, winning the Discovery Award. Arbi and Fallah are also big fans of the original Beverly Hills Cop. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Eddie Murphy were reportedly very impressed with the Morrocan-Belgian directors and their film. The directorial duo should bring a fresh perspective and youthful energy to the series.
