Jerry Bruckheimer confirms new ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ films coming

Jerry Bruckheimer is one of the many entertainment industry heavyweights offered some insight into his upcoming movies, including the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film and the new Beverly Hills Cop movie he’s working on.

On “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” Bruckheimer tells Bloomberg it is moving ahead despite the rumored delays.

“We’re working on it, it’s hopefully moving forward,” he says of the fifth installment. “Johnny (Depp) is excited about it, obviously Disney is, we’re excited about it. So hopefully we’ll get that going this fall or end of the year if everything lines up properly.”

Bruckheimer was also asked if Keith Richards will be back? “I hope so. We’d love to have him back, so we’ll see,” he said.

On a new “Beverly Hills Cop” he details the status and the setting in Detroit.

“We’re in the process of getting the script finished. Paramount is very excited about making it, Eddie (Murphy) is very excited, Brett Ratner is excited about doing it, so I think we’re moving forward. Hopefully we’ll start end of summer, beginning of fall and get rolling on it. We’re going to take Eddie back to Detroit – he’s going to be in Beverly Hills and we take him to Detroit. So we’re going to have some fun with him, he’s really excited about doing it.”

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” has been pushed back to 2016 for a release, with no real casting news to report.
