James Patterson Shares Love For Tyler Perry, Explaining Why He Thinks Star ‘Got Screwed By The Director’ Of Alex Cross Movie

Now that those with an Amazon Prime subscription can stream the brand-new adaptation of James Patterson’s popular Alex Cross books, the bestselling author is getting real about his thoughts on the previous iteration of the thriller novels starring Tyler Perry. In a recent interview, Patterson shared he thinks Perry was “screwed” by Alex Cross director Rob Cohen.

Tyler Perry took a break from the Madea movies in 2012 to star in an adaptation of James Patterson’s 2006 novel Cross to re-introduce audiences to the great Black detective character after Morgan Freeman previously played him in two films, 1997’s Kiss The Girls and 2001’s Along Came A Spider. Here’s what the author had to say as Aldis Hodge now takes up the role for the latest series on the 2024 TV schedule:

Well, in the movies you get two hours, and they didn’t have time to really develop Sampson, so Sampson was always an afterthought. But in this, he’s great. I think I’ve been very lucky, and it’s kind of a little unusual, in that we’ve had two actors play Jack Reacher. Sherlock Holmes, God knows how many people [have played him], and we’ve got three really good actors, different approaches [who’ve been Alex] with Morgan, Aldis and Tyler Perry. Tyler got screwed by the director.
