Matthew Fox to Play Villain in I, ALEX CROSS Starring Tyler Perry

If you’re a fan of James Patterson’s novel I, Alex Cross, the disappointments are starting to pile up.  The adaptation is being handled by Rob Cohen (Stealth) and Tyler Perry is playing the titular detective.  Now there’s another piece of perplexing casting as Deadline reports that Lost‘s Matthew Fox will play the villain, serial killer Michael Sullivan.  This is the same Matthew Fox who looks like he’s about to cry every five seconds.  Here’s how Deadline describes the character: “one bad dude”, “kills both for money and thrills”, “known as the Butcher of Sligo”.  Well, Fox will certainly be playing against type.

The story centers on Cross trying to catch Sullivan only to have Sullivan brutally murder Cross’ wife as retribution (that’ll teach ‘em!).  Ed Burns will play Cross’ partner, Tommy Kane.  Three studios are reportedly vying for the domestic distribution rights to the project.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of the novel.

Actress Kyra Sedgwick (The Closer) is the latest addition to the thriller Man on a Ledge.  The film stars Sam Worthington as a man convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, who is now standing on the ledge of a building seemingly ready to jump.  However, things are not as they appear.  We recently brought you the official synopsis of the film as well as a first look at the poster, which I highly recommend you check out.  We also posted the first set photos from the film, featuring Worthington standing on the side of a building.  Deadline reports that Sedgwick joins Ed Harris, Elizabeth Banks (Zack and Miri Make a Porno), Jamie Bell (Billy Elliott), Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker), Ed Burns (27 Dresses) and Titus Welliver (the mysterious Man in Black from Lost) in quite an impressive cast.  Man on a Ledge is currently filming and is set to hit theaters in early 2012.

GENERATION KILL Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: June 30th, 2009 at 4:12 pm

When The Wire ended it was a bittersweet moment. For five seasons, The Wire showed what television could be, and that long form storytelling need not get lost in useless subplots, or characters added to reinvigorate a stale premise. Put simply, The Wire is the finest accomplishment the format has come to offer, and the only consolation was that the show never faltered, it never stopped being brilliant. Creators David Simon and Ed Burns had earned the right to fail, to take chances, to do whatever television presented them, and their follow up was the HBO miniseries Generation Kill. My review is after the jump:
