...so I'm watching a doc on the Casting of Beverly Hills Cop. Apparently, the script was around for almost six months with a different lead...SYLVESTER STALLONE.
Now, if you'll remember, Axel Foley ends up going to Beverly Hills after his friend (who comes to see him) is killed by a mob hit squad. In the original script, he was supposed to be Stallone's brother.
Now, Paul Reiser, Bronson Pinchot, and most of the other leads were already cast. When Stallone dropped out and Murphy came in, then they basically rewrote the script and proceeded.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
