Tyler Perry gets serious as the star of Alex Cross, the latest film based on the popular James Patterson books. Morgan Freeman previously played the character in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and 2001’s Along Came a Spider, but this new Alex Cross film is set prior to those stories and required a younger actor in the lead role.

Joining Perry in this thriller set for an October 2012 release are Matthew Fox (Lost), Rachel Nichols, Jean Reno, and Edward Burns. Rob Cohen directed from a script by Marc Moss and Kerry Williamson.
