Tyler Perry Is The New Alex Cross

Tyler Perry has signed on to play detective Alex Cross, in a reboot of the film series that starred Morgan Freeman (Kiss The Girls, Along Came A Spider) according to Hollywood News:

Tyler Perry, the filmmaking genius behind films like Why Did I Get Married, is set to star in the title role in “I, Alex Cross”, based on the James Patterson novel of the same name.

It’s an origin story of how the character got his start. Rob Cohen (Dragon) is directing. As of now, there is no distributor yet, but my best guess would be eithr Paramount, who distributed the last two Cross films, or Lionsgate, who released most of Perry’s films. This is not only an interesting choice, but I think it is a good thing.

I’m willing to give Perry a chance in a thriller/mystery. I don’t know about other people though. The man needs other parts than Medea.
Don’t you agree?
