    "Beverly Hills Cop's" Axel Foley is back … but he's missing a few key items.

    Eddie Murphy reprises his famous movie role in a new CBS TV pilot, but as this picture, tweeted by showrunner Shawn Ryan ("The Shield"), shows, Axel Foley has changed quite a bit in the nearly 20 years since we last saw him.

    The pilot actually centers around the wisecracking cop's son, Aaron (Brandon T. Jackson), who goes from chasing bad guys in Detroit to solving crimes in Beverly Hills. Murphy, who is an executive producer of the project, will guest star in the pilot and possibly make further appearances if the series gets picked up.

Other cast members who've signed up for the TV adaptation include Christine Lahti as a police captain, Kevin Pollak as the department's lawyer, and "The Office" actor David Denman as a detective.
