For his next film, “Madea” mastermind Tyler Perry will take on a popular fictional character crafted by author James Patterson and made famous on the big screen by Morgan Freeman in two movies.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Perry will take on the role of detective-psychologist Alex Cross in an untitled film to be directed by Rob Cohen (“The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”).
Freeman played the role in two studio movies, 1997′s “Kiss The Girls” and 2001′s “Along Came a Spider,” based on Patterson’s first novel in 1993. His 18th novel featuring Alex Cross will be released later this year.
