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.
Anyway, hit the jump to check out the images, which also feature Edward Burns as Perry's partner. Alex Cross opens on October 26th.
