Tyler Perry is the King of c00ns.

[Long Live The Kane]

Muh'fukkas are actually casting Tyler Perry in movies he didn't make now? I don't even know what Alex Cross is supposed to be about, I'm assuming it's some famous book series...but the simple fact that they got goddamn Madea as the lead makes the movie look fugazi to me

Based off a series of books. Morgan Freemen played the character in Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider.

Idris Elba was ORIGINALLY signed on as Cross for this film, but dropped out...

 

[courtdog]

To be fair though that's an average character. He's never been in a role where he's needed to show any acting talent, if he has any. I would say that I'd wait-and-see for this movie, but I'm not interested in any Alex Cross bullshyt whether it's Tyler Perry, Idris Elba, Will Smith, or Tom fukking Cruise in it.

The family that prey's was nominated, and he was great in that movie

Sit your dumb ass down! - YouTube

Fred.

Aren't you the same fukkin nerd who took off a week so you could play Mass Effect nonstop?
Yeah, that was you. fukkin Hexanerd...

Tyler Perry is the King of c00ns.

Yeah, if a black man isn't playing the gangsta role (real c00ning btw) then he's a c00n because he doesn't sell out to whitey, and entertains millions of black people. Like, shut the fukk up

For Colored Girls Only is the DEFINITION of c00nishness. That had to be the most vile depiction of black males since The Birth Of A Nation.

Madea is BLATANT Amos N Andy c00nery. The shyt is so demonic I can't even believe backwards ass Christian southern black women fall for that bullshyt.

Tyler Perry HAS sold out to whitey by depicting the majority of his African American characters as slapstick, cross dressing, caricatures. The only movies he's ever made that I've seen that get a pass are Daddy's Little Girls and Good Deeds. The rest of his shyt is c00nery at its worst.

Perry makes the preview come off as being a straight to DVD type flick

The Family That Preys was nominated for what? I know I've seen it but I don't really remember it... and u definitely don't recall his role.

Idris Elba was ORIGINALLY signed on as Cross for this film, but dropped out...

I wondered what made Idris drop out because I read an interview with him a while ago where he talked about the role and how he was going to have a hard time making Alex Cross not be a carbon copy of the Luther character but he was excited for the challenge.
Well turns out Elba didn't back out but was replaced.

Tyler Perry in, Idris Elba out of Alex Cross reboot: Producer explains why

Last August, when news broke that The Wire‘s Idris Elba was to follow in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman (Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider) and reboot the James Patterson detective character Alex Cross on the big screen, we were psyched — and this was before we’d seen his Golden Globe-nominated turn as a detective in the miniseries Luther. EW chatted with Elba last October about the film, which was to then have been directed by David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, Pitch Black), and all he would reveal was that the script was “phenomenal” and if he could pick his dream costar/nemesis, it’d be Joaquin Phoenix. So cut to the news today that cameras will be rolling this June on I, Alex Cross with Tyler Perry in the titular role and director Rob Cohen (The Fast and the Furious and xXx) at the helm. What happened?

Elba’s rep had no comment, but Bill Block, CEO of QED International (District 9), which acquired the rights and the initial script by Kerry Williamson and Patterson late last year (and hired Marc Moss, who worked on the previous Cross films, to refine it for Perry and Cohen), just filled us in: “When we came on, we looked at it freshly, and just built it from the bottom up,” he tells EW. “Sure, Idris is a great actor; Tyler Perry is a phenomenon. Tyler Perry is one of the most significant entertainers in all of media. He is a huge cross-media talent and presence — and he’s a terrific actor whose range is going to be shown here. You’re going to see Tyler Perry like you haven’t seen him. He’s 6’5″, he is a linebacker. He is an awesome physical presence and is just going to tear it apart here. It’s an intense, dramatic role.” Block says the film — “a kickass, crusading action picture” — will be the first of several Alex Cross films. “This is going to be the new Tyler Perry franchise, a worldwide one,” he says. “That’s the other thing: Tyler Perry is going to take this to the worldwide audience. It’s just a very different, much bigger opportunity.” (It’s worth noting that Block was, in fact, phoning us as he arrived at the airport, about to fly to the European Film Market in Berlin to sell global distribution rights.) “We went to him,” Block says. “If you can get Tyler Perry or Will Smith, you try.”

So what could have been a movie starring Idris Elba and Joaqin Phoenix and directed by David Twohy is now a movie starring Tyler Perry and Matthew Fox and directed by the dude who made The Fast & The Furious? Hollywood is a wacky place.

And THIS makes it all the more unforgivable.
