Jean Reno is someone I haven’t seen in the spotlight in quite a while. Kinda miss his presence in good psychological thrillers as he’s pretty reliable for home run performances. Today we find out that he will be making an appearance in the upcoming “I, Alex Cross” also starring Tyler Perry and Matthew Fox.

Thesp Jean Reno is moving from one bestseller to another, as the “Da Vinci Code” star has signed on to join the cast of Summit Entertainment’s thriller “I, Alex Cross.”
As Variety first reported, Tyler Perry is set to play the title role in the James Patterson adaptation, which Rob Cohen is directing from a script by Kerry Williamson and Marc Moss.
Story finds Perry partnering with Ed Burns to take on a vicious serial killer played by Matthew Fox, his first role since ABC’s “Lost” went off the air. Reno’s character is being kept under wraps.
I’m not thrilled that Idris Elba dropped out of this movie and the title role was picked up by Tyler Perry, but Jean Reno is giving this movie a little bit more appeal to watch. It’ll be interesting to see Matthew Fox in this movie as a bad guy as it’ll take some sinister wrong doings to wash away the wholesome Jack Shephard image. So far Reno is the biggest appeal, in my opinion, to this movie but I hope to pleasantly surprised when more news becomes available.
Anthony, if you miss Reno in movies I have to recommend 21 bullets. It’s a french action drama thriller that’s really good. Don’t know if it’s avaliable in the US but it sure is worth watching!
Is it in English?
Matthew Fox as a serial kill?………Sorry I just laughed while drinking water and it came out my nose..(dont you hate that?)
Now thats news!
Tyler Perry’s movies I really dont watch, I’ve never gave his Madeea or whatever a chance so IDK about the “Chops”. I did see “Why did I get married” and thought it was O.K.
But not a loyalist at all.
just sayin’
Y’ gotta love Reno though
hahah Tyler Perry….dude makes thew worst shows that rely on black stereotypes to prosper….kinda like the NAACP. He sucks at acting and makes hack movies.
Despite his questionable skills as a director and actor, Perry has a loyal audience and manages to turn a profit. He’s a name right now, a moneymaker. I prefer Idris Elba, but I’m curious how Perry will do.
money talks, talent walks :-/
