We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.

According to the Summit press release, I, Alex Cross will be directed by Rob Cohen (XXX, The Fast and the Furious) from a script by Patterson and Kerry Williamson, which was revised by Marc Moss. QED, which put together District 9 and others, had been shopping the project around town.

Paramount released the last two films, with Kiss the Girls making $60 million and Along Came a Spider making $74 million, and were interested in this film but lost out to Summit.

Are you a fan of Patterson’s work and this character? How do you think Summit will do with this property?
