The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Beverly Hills Cop is a film franchise of American action comedy films and an unaired television pilot based on characters created by Daniel Petrie Jr. and Danilo Bach. The films star Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit cop who travels to Beverly Hills, California to independently investigate a crime connecting the two cities, where he meets Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold), Sergeant John Taggart (John Ashton), and Lieutenant Andrew Bogomil (Ronny Cox). While Ashton and Cox do not appear in Beverly Hills Cop III, Murphy and Reinhold are the only actors who appear in all four films. Harold Faltermeyer produced the "Axel F" theme song heard throughout the series. The first three films have been distributed by Paramount Pictures, while Netflix distributed the fourth film. The films have grossed a total of $735 million at the worldwide box office. A 2013 TV pilot is among several attempts to reboot the franchise following the initial trilogy. In 2024, 40 years after the release of the original film, and 30 years after the release of the third film, a fourth film was released titled Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. Alongside Murphy, cast members from the previous films returned for the fourth installment, as well as Jerry Bruckheimer, producer of the first two films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
