There's talk in Hollywood about a new Alex Cross movie.... I can't say much, but I can say that. Who do you think should play Alex? Jamie Foxx? Denzel? Someone we've never seen before? Did you like Morgan Freeman as Alex?

I thing Morgan is a great actor but is much to old to play Cross. While reading I always pictured a Denzel type to play the role.

I totally agree. I always pictured Denzel too. I think he would make an awesome Alex Cross. I would like to see an actor more suited to play John too.

Denzel is the perfect Alex C.

Funny bc he has already portayed a literary character-Lincoln Rhymes from author Jeffrey Deaver. So I don't see him as Alex Cross. Maybe Terrence? (was in Ironman) or Laurence Fishbourne w/Michael Duncan Clark as Samspson????

I always picture Cross as a mixture between Morgan Freeman and Will Smith, which just screams Denzel!!

Yes, you are right. I believe the best man to play John would be the actore who was the prisoner in The Green Mile, can't remember his name. Someone help with that please.

You are talking about the role of John Coffey that was played by Michael Clarke Duncan.

He would make a great John

I am thinking Blair Underwood would be great as Alex Cross he is the right age, and nice on the eyes too! Also he is a great actor and highly overlooked, I love Denzel but I just do not picture him as Cross, maybe Sampson for Denzel, he is bigger than Underwood. Morgan Freeman is a great actor but too old, and I always thought Cross should have been better looking . I think Blair is the man who can do justice to Alex Cross! Denzel for Sampson, what a great pair that would be!

Yes Rhonda I would have to agree with you there on Blair Underwood...But I think Denzel would over-shadow Blair...

I agree with Rhonda. I've always pictured Blair Underwood as Alex Cross. And personally I think Laurence Fishbourne would make a great Sampson.

I agree with you-but I think Michael Clarke Duncan (of the Green Mile) would be the perfect man to play Sampson.
