Tyler Perry is perhaps best known for his "Madea" movies, in which he inhabits the role of an overweight and overly aggressive elderly woman with varying degrees of hilarity. But for his next role, Perry is more likely to hunt down the kinds of deranged men who routinely dress up as overweight and overly aggressive elderly women.
According to Deadline, QED has packaged an adaptation of the James Patterson novel "I, Alex Cross" with Perry attached to the title role and Rob Cohen directing.
In signing up for the film, Perry takes over the franchise role of D.C.-based detective and psychologist Alex Cross from Morgan Freeman, who already played the character in two films, "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider." Read More...
