Sept. 29 (UPI) -- City on a Hill, Mystic River and Footloose star Kevin Bacon has signed up for a role in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley.
Netflix confirmed Bacon's casting Wednesday, but it did not say who he would be playing.
The streaming service is also keeping plot details for the action-comedy under wraps.
Mark Molloy is directing the movie, based on a screenplay by Will Beall.
The film is now in production.
The original 1984 blockbuster starred Murphy as Foley, a streetwise Detroit police officer investigating the murder of his best friend in the posh California city.
The movie was followed by two sequels, released in 1987 and 1994.
