Summit Entertainment has released images from its upcoming crime thriller I, Alex Cross, a reboot of the Alex Cross franchise first launched by Paramount Pictures in 1997 with Kiss the Girls starring Morgan Freeman as Cross.

The shots provide a first look at Tyler Perry wearing pants as Alex Cross, Ed Burns as his partner Det. Tommy Kane and Matthew Fox as the very ripped and menacing psychopath Michael “The Butcher of Sligo” Sullivan (a much more frightening look than Jack’s beard on “LOST”).

I, Alex Cross finds the detective tracking down an escort-murdering serial killer whose victims include a beloved relative of Cross. The film is directed by Rob Cohen (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) and costars Rachel Nichols as Kane’s busty girlfriend. It opens on Oct. 26.
