"You are sick and twisted".
To say that author James Patterson is prolific is a bit like saying they used to make one or two Police Academy sequels. His name appears on a new book seemingly every month. He doesn't write them all, of course. A closer inspection of the front cover of most of his novels gives Patterson a big credit at the top, with a slightly smaller 'With So and So' credit at the bottom, presumably the person who did the bulk of the work.
Still, that's not to say Patterson doesn't pen some of the books that wear his name himself, and the most popular feature the character of Alex Cross. The same Alex Cross who now finds himself in a movie.
The film, which is due in October, is directed by Rob Cohen (xXx, The Fast And The Furious), and stars Tyler Perry as Cross, with Lost's Matthew Fox playing a serial killer. The first trailer for Alex Cross has appeared, too, and you can take a look at it right here...
And remember: er, don't ever cross Alex Cross.
