Alex Cross (2012)
The weirdest thing about Rob Cohen's upcoming movie Alex Cross, adapted from James Patterson's novel Cross, isn't that Tyler Perry plays the titular hero. It's that Tyler Perry appears to have had relatively little to do with the movie. He hasn't stamped his name all over the title – it isn't called Tyler Perry Presents Tyler Perry's Alex Cross, for example. Tyler Perry doesn't transform the character into an overweight grandmother with a fondness for spouting sub-Oprah self-help psychobabble. For a Tyler Perry film, Alex Cross looks relatively sober.
In the first trailer for "Alex Cross," Perry plays detective ... Alex Cross (a role originally portrayed by Morgan Freeman in "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider"), who ends up in a cat-and-mouse game with a killer by the name of --according to IMDb -- Picasso. (Can't wait for the line where Matthew Fox tells Perry that what he does to him will make Guernica look like a cakewalk.)
The film is based on the James Patterson novel, "Cross." You can check out the trailer above.
Plot Summary: "Alex Cross" follows the homicide detective/psychologist (Tyler Perry), from the worldwide best-selling novels by James Patterson, as he meets his match in a serial killer (Matthew Fox). The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits in this taut and exciting action thriller.
