'Lost's' Matthew Fox gets ripped for 'Alex Cross'
23 May 2012 12:14 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
Foxy fans may want to avert their eyes. In the new movie "Alex Cross," "Lost's" Matthew Fox plays a mixed martial arts fighter/ruthless assassin who murders the wife of a Washington, D.C. detective played by Tyler Perry.
So, yeah, he's the bad guy. But what's worse is how Fox has transformed himself for the role. The always fit Fox seems to have gone to Mickey Rourke-in-"The Wrestler" extremes to model himself as an Mma fighter. In the picture above, Fox seems to be in the middle of some kind of cage match, clenching his teeth malevolently as he twists an appendage possibly out of its socket. In the back, some dame looks on -- intrigued by Fox's negative body fat and prominent veins.
"Alex Cross" is directed by "XXX's" Rob Cohen and co-stars "Breaking Bad's" Giancarlo Esposito, Jean Reno, Edward Burns and Cicely Tyson. »

First Shots From Alex Cross Reboot Starring Matthew Fox And Tyler Perry
18 May 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
James Patterson’s heroic detective Alex Cross was previously the subject of two so-so films starring Morgan Freeman. The character has featured in a total of eighteen novels from 1993-2011, with Freeman playing lead in adaptations of the first two novels in the series, with Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider. Now American writer/director/producer and actor Tyler Perry will step into Freeman’s shoes for the rebooted big-screen franchise. Thn has the first set of images from the psychological-thriller with the now simple title of… Alex Cross.
If the film is a success, there are certainly enough crimes for Perry’s Cross to sink his teeth into. These shots certainly look promising, with Lost’s Matthew Fox in particular, as the films psychotic serial-killer ‘Picasso’ seems frighteningly unrecognisable!

'Alex Cross' Images: Including the Craziest Picture of Matthew Fox We've Ever Seen
18 May 2012 12:05 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Matthew Fox is set to join Edward Norton and Linda Hamilton on the list of actors who got totally ripped in preparation for a role judging by these new stills from the upcoming Alex Cross. Seriously – that can’t be the same guy who played Jack Shephard on Lost, can it? Fox is all buffed up for a major part in Alex Cross, where he’ll star opposite Tyler Perry and Edward Burns. The film is a quasi-reboot of the movie series based on James Patterson’s novels, with Perry taking over the title role formerly played by Morgan Freeman. Rob Cohen (XXX) is set to direct, with Perry and Fox being joined by Jean Reno, Giancarlo Esposito, and Rachel Nichols. The film, which shares a title with one of the books in the series, finds Cross hunting down Fox’s Mma...

Matthew Fox's Shocking New Look
18 May 2012 11:18 AM, PDT | TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news »
Matthew Fox lost his hair, his shirt and seemingly all his body fat to play a cage-fighter/killer in Alex Cross, which features Tyler Perry taking over the title role from Morgan Freeman.
Related - Could Matthew Return To TV?
In the October 26 release, Fox is utterly unrecognizable (seriously, I had to triple check it was him before posting this story) as the film's big bad who murders Cross' wife and kicks off the action in this franchise reboot, co-starring Edward Burns, Rachel Nichols and Jean Reno.
Kind of excited to see what Matthew can bring to the villainous role after watching him play the hero for six seasons on ABC's Lost. Also, gives more supporting evidence to this theory, doesn't it? »

First Look At Tyler Perry And An Insanely Ripped Matthew Fox In 'Alex Cross,' Plus Images Of Fox In 'Emperor'
18 May 2012 9:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
On "30 Rock"'s season finale last night, Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan) announced his intention to open his own movie studio that makes films where he dresses up as an elderly woman, that appeal entirely to black audiences. It's an obvious dig at the ludicrously successful Tyler Perry, who's made millions by writing, directing and starring in a string of pictures that have consistently been hugely profitable. He's a brand name now, but at the same time, outside the African-American community, Perry's yet to truly cross over, a tiny cameo in "Star Trek" having provided his widest exposure to date.
So for the first time, Perry's looking elsewhere: the multi-hyphenate is starring in "Alex Cross" for his usual home of Lionsgate, a reboot of the crime franchise that saw Morgan Freeman have two modest hits a decade ago with "Kiss The Girls" and "Along Came A Spider." Based on the series of novels by James Patterson, »

Alex Cross will be Matthew Fox like we’ve never seen him before. These first images show Fox as an utter killing machine, armed to the teeth with just his bare muscles (and also a gun).

“After Washington DC detective Alex Cross is told that a family member has been murdered, he vows to track down the killer. He soon discovers that she was not his first victim and that things are not what they seem.”
Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) is behind the camera, with a script co-written by Marc Moss (Along Came a Spider) and Kerry Williamson, adapting Patterson’s 2006 novel, Cross.

Thoughts on... Léon (1994)
1 May 2012 11:34 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Léon, 1994.
Directed by Luc Besson.
Starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, and Natalie Portman.
Synopsis:
A professional hitman takes under his wing a twelve year-old girl and trains her in his job.
Léon may be an English speaking film set in New York City, but it has a distinctly European feel to it which can be attributed to director Luc Besson. The action (which is used sparingly) is incredibly stylish, but the film is more interested in exploring the emotions of the titular character rather than big bangs, blood and bullets. It is the unforgettable characters that make Léon not only a great action film, but also a superb drama.
Léon (Jean Reno) is a professional hitman who tries to live a quiet life outside of his job, yet is plagued by paranoia. He sleeps in a chair and is seemingly always prepared, perhaps even expecting, to be facing the wrong end of a gun barrel. »

Michael Nyqvist Ready To Fly As Part Of Ensemble For The Seagull
30 April 2012 5:19 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Sorry, Daniel Craig, but Michael Nyqvist will always be my Mikael Blomkvist. After portraying the besmirched journalist in the original Millennium trilogy, Nyqvist broke out big time by playing Tom Cruise.s chief nemesis in Brad Bird.s Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Now he.s parlaying that exposure into a high-profile job on a star-studded ensemble tackling Anton Chekhov.s classic play, The Seagull. The production already boasts Katie Holmes, William Hurt, Allison Janney, Cherry Jones, Russell Means and Jean Reno, according to Variety. The trade notes that the independent production will launch production in June, with an eye on location shooting in Connecticut. Chekhov.s play first saw the stage in 1896, following a handful of mismatched lovers as they fall in and out of love on a country estate. Sidney Lumet famously adapted Chekhov.s complicated prose in 1968, with James Mason and Vanessa Redgrave in the leads. Variety says »
