'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. »

Now the first images have come online via The Film Stage and can be seen in our gallery below.Believe us, they're worth a look. Because while Perry and cop partner Edward Burns strike typical police poses (badges, guns etc.) and look like they should, the villain for this one is played by Matthew Fox. And he looks nothing like you’d expect.The story finds Cross on the hunt for Michael Sullivan (Fox), a ruthless assassin who murders the Washington DC detective’s wife. Sullivan, it turns out, is an Mma fighter, and Fox has transformed himself into something that would be right at home in a fantasy »

What the Heck Happened to Matthew Fox?
18 May 2012 4:30 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Um, this is definitely not the Matthew Fox we remember. Today we got our first glimpse of the Lost star's insane body transformation in the Rob Cohen-directed adaptation Alex Cross, in which Fox plays a serial killer opposite Tyler Perry. An extremely lean, muscular and, well, frightening, serial killer. While this photo is enough to capture your gaze and make you ask "Wtf?" there's more. But we understand if you want to take a couple more seconds before reading on. Ok, this one's not as eye-opening as the first. In fact, Fox kinda looks hot in this picture, wearing all black and showing off his fake tats, but let's not forget he plays a baddie in this flick. Alex »

First Look: Gritty Tyler Perry and Ripped Matthew Fox in 'Alex Cross'
18 May 2012 3:06 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
We've seen a lot of Tyler Perry dressed up like a woman in a fat suit, and Matthew Fox seemingly always on the verge of tears on "Lost," but when these two seemingly unmanly men come together, they're throwing around a lot of grit and muscle. That seems to be the case in these first look photos from Alex Cross. Though it's based on James Patterson's novels featuring the recurring Cross character, the film is said to have a mostly original story. It's strange seeing Perry looking deadly serious as a detective, and even crazier seeing how ripped and absolutely insane Fox looks as the cage-fighting murderer. See the photos below! Here's the first look photos from Rob Cohen's Alex Cross from Kinopoisk (via The Film Stage): After Washington DC detective Alex Cross (Tyler Perry) is told that his wife has been murdered, he vows to track »

First Look Photos of Alex Cross Featuring Tyler Perry, Ed Burns, and a Crazy-Ripped Matthew Fox
18 May 2012 1:47 PM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
If anyone has been wondering what Matthew Fox has been up to since Lost aired its final episode (besides collecting DUIs), the actor has apparently been living in the gym preparing for his role as an Mma-fighting serial killer in Alex Cross.
Based on the James Patterson novel I, Alex Cross, the movie adaptation was expected to be a change of pace for Tyler Perry, who has assumed the title role previously portrayed by Morgan Freeman in 1997's Kiss the Girls and 2001's Along Came a Spider. But it's Fox that is almost unrecognizable in the first-look photos from the movie.
Fox plays Michael "The Butcher" Sullivan, the man responsible for killing Cross' wife, and Fox appears to be surprisingly up to the task of playing the psychotic character. While the photos of Perry and Ed Burns (playing Cross's partner, Tommy Kane) look fairly tame, it would appear »

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!

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.

First Images of Tyler Perry and an Insane Matthew Fox in Alex Cross
18 May 2012 9:44 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The first images of Tyler Perry not wearing a dress in the James Patterson adaptation Alex Cross have gone online. Directed by Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious) the film is based on Patterson’s book I, Alex Cross, and Perry stars as the titular detective who was previously played by Morgan Freeman in the Patterson adaptations Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. More interesting, though, are the first images of Matthew Fox as the film’s villain. He looks absolutely insane and ripped out of his mind. I literally stared at one image for 10 seconds before I realized it was Fox who was putting someone in a Hulk-ed out choke hold. It’s honestly kind of disturbing. Anyway, hit the jump to check out the images, which also feature Edward Burns as Perry’s partner. Alex Cross opens on October 26th. Here’s a synopsis for Patterson’s novel, »

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).

The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 7th May
7 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Over the past few months, we’ve added a weekly Friday feature rounding up the new releases coming to the big screen each week, courtesy of our Mr. Rob Keeling, giving you a taste of all the brilliant(/not so brilliant) films entering your local cinemas at the weekend.
It recently occurred to me to start up a similar weekly feature, instead rounding up all* the films making their way to the shelves of your local video stores (and of course, increasingly, supermarkets) at the start of each week.
There are so many brilliant films often released in close proximity to each other that sometimes it’s just not possible to see everything you want to see on the big screen, not to mention the fact that not all films are released in a nearby cinema (particularly if you live outside of London). I’m a big believer in the »
