Film Adaptations/Reboot
Overall there have been three theatrical films of the Alex Cross series, all met with negative reviews, and poor box-office success, especially the newest film, Alex Cross. So far there have been two films (Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider) both met to poor box-office. Due to this, a reboot franchise was ordered. Tyler Perry was cast, his first role in a film that he doesn't direct, produce, write, etc. Despite three poorly-received films, a fourth film is in pre-production and Tyler Perry of the 2012 film will come back. The reboot franchise is based on books Cross and Double Cross (the fourth adaptation of the series).

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
