Rachel Nichols is a Time-Traveling Cop in New Sci-Fi Show Continuum
13 hours ago | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »
Go figure, Rachel Nichols is the lead in a new Canadian made/produced sci-fi TV show called “Continuum”. I hadn’t even heard of the show until it popped up during a search I was doing for one of Nichols’ other movie projects. The premise isn’t entirely bad. It’s essentially “Time Trax” with Dale Midkiff from the early ’90s, except starring Nichols, who, yes, is a major improvement. No offense to you Dale Midkiff fans out there. All two of you. The premise for “Continuum” goes something like this: A detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in present day Vancouver and searching for ruthless criminals from the future. That detective is Rachel Nicholas. She has to team up with some locals to complete her mission. Check out a couple of promos for the show below. Again, it doesn’t look too bad. The show recently made its premiere on Canadian TV, »

'Continuum': Everything You Need To Know About The Sci-Fi Cop Show
25 May 2012 11:19 AM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
I'm standing in a drab, monochromatic police department TV set in Vancouver that could quite feasibly serve as the base for any number of procedural police dramas on the air right now. Except this particular police show has something none of the others do: a foxy cop from the future. Yes, the cop and sci-fi genres have been melded together for the hot new summer show "Continuum," set to debut on Showcase this week.
The show follows Keira Cameron (Rachel Nichols, "Criminal Minds"), an officer with the Vancouver City Protective Services (Cps). We first meet Keira in 2077, when she's a regular "protector," wife and mother going about her business. When she's placed on guard duty during a mass execution of seven terrorists, she's jolted 65 years into the past when the prisoners deploy a high-tech, time-travel escape. She's disoriented -- to say the least -- when she finds herself in the »

Matthew Fox cuts a menacing figure in these first stills from "Alex Cross," an upcoming crime-thriller that's based on the 2009 James Patterson novel "I, Alex Cross" (itself the 16th novel in the "Alex Cross" series).

‘Alex Cross’ Images Include An Armed Tyler Perry & Ripped Matthew Fox
18 May 2012 2:01 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Fans of James Patterson’s famous homicide detective character, Dr. Alex Cross, were originally ecstatic to hear that fan-fave Idris Elba was going to follow in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman – and portray the character onscreen, in a series start-over/reboot titled Alex Cross.
That was before Elba passed on the role – and was eventually replaced by Tyler Perry, prompting a general response of… well, the opposite of ecstatic.
A trailer for Alex Cross is due out in the near future, as the film is slated to hit theaters this fall. However, in the meantime, we can offer the first images of Perry as Dr. Cross – wielding a goatee, badge, and shotgun, among other accessories – alongside costars like Rachel Nichols (Criminal Minds) and Edward Burns (Saving Private Ryan) as Cross’ fellow Detroit detectives, Monica Ashe and Tommy Kane, respectively.
However, if there’s anyone here who leaves an impression, ...

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, »

8 Awesome First Images from Alex Cross with Matthew Fox, Tyler Perry & Ed Burns
18 May 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
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 Morgan Freeman played the role of Dr. Alex Cross in the first two adaptations of James Patterson’s series of books, Tyler Perry will now be front and centre as the detective tasked to track down the killer.
“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.

'Criminal Minds' Season 7 finale: Emily's exit and a Bau wedding, plus what's next for the show
16 May 2012 9:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
"Criminal Minds" delivered a pretty solid bank heist/murder spree plot in its season finale, but we suspect what you want to talk about is what happened after the case ended.
Which is only natural. The Bau takes down killers every week, but it's not often that one of their own gets married and another decides to leave the team.
We've known for a while that Paget Brewster was leaving the show at the end of this season, and the show did a pretty decent job of grounding Emily's departure within the character. She never completely recovered from the Ian Doyle situation, and she needs to separate herself from the current job to really put it behind her.

It also seemed very much in keeping with the character that Emily tried to keep it quiet during J.J.'s wedding to Will, »

Exclusive Interview with Rachel Nichols
15 May 2012 3:05 AM, PDT | movies.about.com | See recent About.com Hollywood Movies news »
Rachel Nichols stars opposite Jackson Hurst, an adorable dog, and a very talkative parrot in the romantic comedy A Bird of the Air (also known as The Loop). And, yes, you missed its theatrical release, but you can catch it now on DVD. Despite the fact it's been a while since she worked on the touching romantic tale, Nichols loves to chat about the film which is a dramatic departure from her normal film roles. She plays a quirky librarian who falls for an introverted highway safety patrol worker, and Nichols says it was both the sweet story and the chance to do something completely different which convinced her she should take on the starring role.
In our exclusive interview, Nichols discussed the appeal of A Bird of the Air as well as a few of her other many projects, including Raze and the TV series, Continuum. She also answered »
