Da Vinci Code Star Jean Reno Signed on to Join I, Alex Cross
Moroccan-born Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez, with sorrowful eyes that suggest deep reflection lurking beneath a sometimes imposing outdoor, has carved a particular role in movies by portraying men who prefer to identify themselves through action rather than words – French actor a.k.a. Jean Reno.
Weaselly looking thesp has joined the cast of I, Alex Cross, the film that finds Tyler Perry not directing or writing for himself.
Lost’s Matthew Fox Lands the Villain in I, Alex Cross
Matthew Fox has signed on to play the villain in I, Alex Cross, the reboot of the James Patterson franchise character with Tyler Perry starring and Rob Cohen helming the project.
Edward Burns has also signed on to play Tommy Kane, Cross’s partner.
You may have overlooked that Tyler Perry, a couple of months ago, took over a lead role in I, Alex Cross for Idris Elba — the crime busting psychologist Dr. Alex Cross. Opposite his virtuous Lost character Jack Shepard, Fox will be making over his image as the ‘childlike trust’ nice guy, taking the role of Michael Sullivan a.k.a the Butcher of Sligo, a brutal assassin who kills for kicks and money. After Cross messed up one of his assignments, the Butcher kills Cross’ wife and after that it’s game between the two. Sullivan is one of the best known villains in the Patterson’s novel series.

Matthew Fox: I don’t think I’ll do television again
Matthew Fox talks to BBC Movies about playing a Secret Service agent in ‘Vantage Point‘, working with the Wachowski brothers on Speed Racer and what life might be like after ‘Lost‘.
Did you have any reservations about being in an ensemble cast rather than being the star after a massive TV show like Lost?
No, I don’t ever think about that at all. The role is never the first way into a project for me. It’s always about the whole project, the entirety of the film and its potential. The director is probably the biggest piece of the pie of all the elements that vaguely come together in some way towards you feeling compelled to pursue the project, or accept an offer. Then the role comes after the director sort of says: “This is how I’d like you to serve the story”.
What form did the script take when it was presented to you?
It was one of those reads that was difficult. It was well executed and very original, and has this theme of perspective running though it, which I personally find pretty fascinating. I think about it a lot in my life, just how different things can look to different parties, depending on who they are and where they’re standing and how they want to perceive it. But the actual structure of the script was pretty straight through. It began with the event and then the re-telling of the event through these different perspectives. You also knew that it was the kind of project that post [production] was going to be a very intense experience, because there’s almost an infinite amount of ways that you could end up structuring the film.
I saw the movie about 10 days ago and was really happy with how it all turned out. I think [director] Pete Travis is just a really smart, very dedicated director. I loved the movie he did before, Omagh. I remember the first time meeting him thinking he was just somebody I really wanted to work with and felt that he was going to make a really cool film.
‘Speed Racer’ Trailer No2
Another trailer for the upcoming adventure of gelled up petrol head ‘Speed Racer’ has revved up and its showing even more curvy cars with gadgets that’d make a certain secret agent jealous.
Flipping, slipping and swerving out of control, this new trailer is just as dizzying as the previous ones. The only slight difference is that we get to learn a bit more about the titled lad (but it’s still mainly that he’s a really good driver).
