As usual with a project involving Simps.on and Bruckheimer, there's a minor dispute as to just who suggested casting Murphy as a "black and funny Clint Eastwood," the comedian's phrase. (Simpson said it was his idea. Eisner suggested it was then -Paramount production chief Jeffrey Katzenberg who brought Murphy into the project.

But within 24 hours of the suggestion, Simpson and Bruckheimer were on a plane to New York to meet with Murphy and his managers, and "Beverly Hills Cop" was on its way to what its makers hope will become lucrative reality.

When Stallone committed to star in the project in less than 24 hours, their misgivings were mitigated by the fact that "Cop" would actually get made, and would be directed by Martin Brest, whom they lobbied for two years before he agreed to make the film. But Stallone, as is his wont, rewrote Dan Petrie script, and when Stallone turned his version over to Paramount, it was no longer the same movie he had told the studio he would make. Paramount and Stallone decided to part ways.

(A spokesman for Stallone said the actor rewrote the project at Paramount's request, and departed from the project amicably when it was clear that "Beverly Hills Cop" was going to be more of a comedy than an action picture. Enter Eddie Murphy, who just happened to be under exclusive HOLLYWOOD'S HITMEN Continued from 23rd Page The responsibility comes, he explained, because "no one is cast, no one is set on the crew without Jerry and myself being there. No one sends us a memo saying so-and-so has been cast in the movie. That's not the way we work." That isn't the way they worked on "Beverly Hills Cop," either, although the project had a singularly discouraging pre-production period. The story of a Detroit policeman tracing the investigation of a friend's murder back to Beverly Hills was originally designed to star Mickey Rourke.

But problems with the script delayed filming, and Rourke departed to make "Pope of Greenwich Village."
