Official Trailer For ‘Alex Cross’

‘Alex Cross’ is an adaptation of the novel ‘Cross’ by James Patterson. You may remember the character as being played by Morgan Freeman in ‘Kiss The Girls’ and ‘Along Came A Spider’. Originally when this film began production Idris Elba (‘Thor’, ‘Prometheus’) was signed on for the lead role but was replaced by Tyler Perry (‘Star Trek, ‘Good Deeds’). The film also stars Rachel Nichols (‘GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra’), Jean Reno (‘Ronin’, ‘Mission: Impossible’), John C. McGinley (‘Identity’, ‘Office Space’) and Matthew Fox (‘Lost’, ‘Speed Racer’) The film is directed by Rob Cohen (‘The Fast And The Furious, ‘xXx’)

When I first read that the film starred Tyler Perry I was almost about to ignore the trailer entirely. But after watching it…it doesn’t look bad. It actually looks like something I kind of want to check out. And I definitely did not recognize Matthew Fox at first. This seems like one of those movies that could be an entertaining flick to catch on a week night.

‘Alex Cross’ hits theaters October, 19 2012.
