Alex Cross

Tyler Perry as Alex is such a weird concept to me.

Summit Picks Up I, Alex Cross

March 25, 2011


Summit Entertainment has picked up the U.S. distribution rights for the Rob Cohen-directed I, Alex Cross, the studio confirmed today.

The film is a reboot of the franchise based on the best-selling James Patterson novels. The series of novels, begun in 1993 with "Along Came a Spider," features a forensic psychologist named Alex Cross (Tyler Perry).

Matthew Fox will play villain Michael Sullivan and Ed Burns is set to play Tommy Kane, Cross's partner.

The original script, written by Patterson and Kerry Williamson, was revised by Marc Moss.

Morgan Freeman played the role twice, first in an adaptation of the second book in the series, Kiss the Girls in 1997 and later in 2001 when Along Came a Spider itself was adapted.

Ug. Tyler Perry is NOT Alex Cross. Alex Cross is supposed to be a well built, and handsome guy - the books constantly refer to him as looking like Muhammad Ali - and is as much a physical character as he is cognitive. Tyler Perry is an awful, awful choice.

And who the hell is Tommy Kane? Where's Sampson in this?!

^Is he in the movie now or something? That is an impressive transformation right there.

 

[Wolfwood]

Holy ****. "We've gotta go back, so get your ass in the car!"

 

[PWN3R]

Foxy looks insane, like, fighting Batman type insane. Also, Christian Bale is impressed.

 

[chamber-music]

Fox looks crazy as hell. Shame Tyler Perry is Cross instead of Idris Elba. Elba is awesome in his BBC detective show Luther.

 

[Still Wynning]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to mess with him in that state.

We might have to start putting old Fox on our wish lists for future comic book movies.

We might have to start putting old Fox on our wish lists for future comic book movies.

Agreed. Though, I thought his Racer X came off as a good Batman-like character.

Anyway, R Kelly's reaction was exactly what I did.

 

[Van Petrol]

Holy ****! Fox looks amazing in character!

 

[Wolfwood]

I'm all for Fox playing Shepherd in the Mass Effect movie.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

"or I'm gonna pull your goddamned spine out through your eyesocket!"

I'm all for Fox playing Shepherd in the Mass Effect movie.

[Doctor Jones]

Uh... I uh... ****.

Haha! I thought you we're being sarcastic back there... t:

 

[Doctor Jones]

No, I was serious.

I mean goddamn.

He looks transformed. Even in that second picture doesn't look like Fox.

 

[craigdbfan]

Have been saying it for years.

That would be awesome.

Going to however much he weighs here to 200+ pound bodied Shepard for a Mass Effect movie would be so awesome.

Dude is Christian Bale-ing.

 

[Van Petrol]

No, I was serious.

I mean goddamn.

He looks transformed. Even in that second picture doesn't look like Fox.

I agree.

 

[Pink Ranger]

They should change the lead actor again after Tyler Perry, let's go for another downgrade. Anybody have Chris Tucker's cellphone number?

 

[Sawyer]

Hahaha and here's the corresponding picture.

Meth, huh?

 

[Boom]

I still can't believe they went from Idris Elba to Tyler ****ing Perry.
