[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Alert: Missing Persons Unit Season 3 Episode 2 “Badge #41870.”] Alert: Missing Persons Unit just delivered its most shocking episode yet. Ahead of the season, the trailer revealed that Nikki (Dania Ramirez) would be kidnapped, and that moment comes at the beginning of the second episode, “Badge #41870.” The episode also introduces Chief Inspector Bill Houston (recurring guest star Malcolm-Jamal Warner), who wasn’t a fan of the way Jason (Scott Caan) did things in the past; he says that they’re going to start over because he’s learned to take the good with the bad. There are more pressing concerns: He’s looking for Nikki because someone she arrested for felony assault, Raina (Sharon Taylor), is out on early parole. Nikki’s phone is going straight to voicemail, and then Gps of her car leads them to it … outside the city and completely burned. The only good news? It’s empty and...

One of the longest (and most underrated) action movie franchises is about to enter its 12th installment. The likes of James Bond, the Fast and Furious, and more have delighted audiences for years and years with their ever-growing lore and multiple sequels, but many action fans continue to sleep on the Sniper series. Now, following the release of the 11th outing, Sniper: The Last Stand earlier this year, lead actor Chad Michael Collins has now revealed that another explosive installment in the SniperVerse is already locked and loaded.

Thanking fans for their ongoing support, Collins took to X/Twitter to make the announcement. Appearing on the set of the new Sniper movie, and looking like he’s already seen plenty of action, the actor revealed that the next chapter in the ongoing saga, which first started all the way back in 1993 with the Tom Berenger-led Sniper, is already “halfway through production.

Sniper: The Last Stand is the eleventh film in a franchise that began back in 1993 with Sniper and continued on through films like Sniper: Rogue Mission and most recently Sniper: G.R.I.T. – Global Response & Intelligence Team. After so many entries, many franchises are running out of steam and getting by on past glories, will this be any different?

The film opens with a ten-minute sequence where the members of Operation Phoenix track arms dealer Ryker Kovalov to his headquarters in the jungles of Costa Verde only for him to trigger his doomsday weapon.

The film then travels back to forty-eight hours earlier and Brandon Beckett’s arrival at a remote airstrip in Costa Verde, a trip that involved...

A while back, we shared a Best Movie You Never Saw video on the action thriller Sniper, which was given a theatrical release in 1993 and spawned a direct-to-video franchise that is continuing to this day. In fact, a trailer for the eleventh film in the franchise, Sniper: The Last Stand, has just arrived online and can be seen in the embed above. The film is set to receive a digital release on January 21st.

Tom Berenger took on the lead role of sniper Thomas Beckett in the original film, and came back for Sniper 2 (2002) and Sniper 3 (2004). As of 2011’s Sniper: Reloaded, Thomas’s son Brandon, played by Chad Michael Collins, became the lead character in the franchise, and his story has continued through Sniper: Legacy (2014), Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016), Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017), Sniper: Assassin’s End (2020), Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022), Sniper: G.R.I.T. – Global Response & Intelligence Team (2023), and now Sniper: The Last Stand.

"Sniper: The Last Stand” is a new Sony Pictures live-action thriller, directed by Danishka Esterhazy, starring Ryan Robbins, Sharon Taylor, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, and Arnold Vosloo, available January 21, 2025, direct-to-vod:

“…to stop an arms dealer from unleashing a deadly superweapon, ‘Ace’ sniper ‘Brandon Beckett’ (Chad Michael Collins) and ‘Agent Zero’ (Ryan Robbins) are deployed to lead a group of elite soldiers in Costa Verde.

“Taking an untested sniper under his wing, Beckett faces his newest challenge: giving orders instead of receiving them. With time and ammo running low, they must overcome all odds just to survive…”

"Where will you be in the thick of it?" Sony Pictures has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller B-movie called Sniper: The Last Stand, which is being released direct-to-vod later this month. Definitely not a theatrical movie by any means - looks more like direct-to-vhs. "One last stand for humanity." Ace sniper Brandon Beckett and Agent Zero are deployed to Costa Verde to lead a group of elite soldiers against an unrelenting militia. This is the latest in a "sniper" franchise starring Chad Michael Collins as Brandon Beckett - it also includes (yes these are real) Sniper: Reloaded (2011), Sniper: Legacy (2014), Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016), Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017), Sniper Assassin's End (2020), Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022), and Sniper: G.R.I.T. - Global Response & Intelligence Team (2023). The The Last Stand cast includes Ryan Robbins, Sharon Taylor, Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz, and Arnold Vosloo. Yeah this is for Sniper fans only. Why are they...

It's always nice to hear a story where someone tells Hollywood to go f*ck itself. Which is, quite literally, what James Patterson did when executives asked him to re-write his iconic Alex Cross character as a white man. And now Cross television star Aldis Hodge — who plays the titular character — is speaking out about what it means to have kept Alex Cross a Black man.

Speaking with BuzzFeed, Hodge explained that he was "shocked, impressed, and proud" when he heard the author of the wildly successful Alex Cross novels was asked by some Hollywood executives to sign a seven-figure deal — but only if he changed the character's race to white.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter last month, Patterson explained the story as such:

"Here's an interesting thing about the Hollywood 'Cross' stuff. When I wrote the first Alex Cross book, I didn't have a lot of money and Hollywood came calling — knock,...

Prime Video’s newest hit series, Cross, has now become the third-biggest season premiere of 2024 for Amazon’s streaming service. Variety reports that the series, starring Aldis Hodge as the titular Detective Alex Cross, amassed 40 million viewers in the first 20 days it streamed on Prime Video.

Amazon states that the 40 million number ranks Cross No. 3 for this year as far as season premieres go on Prime Video behind Season 1 of Fallout and Season 2 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The Walton Goggins-led Fallout had 65 million viewers in 16 days and The Rings of Power had 40 million in 11 days. Cross debuted on Nov. 14.

The streamer also said Cross is the third-biggest launch for a Prime Video series and the sixth-biggest season launch of all time for the platform when 20 days of viewership are counted. Of the viewers, 55% were from countries other than the United States, with Germany,...

Quick Links This Season on Cross... Cross Catches the Killer But It Doesn't End There Cross' Season 1 Ending Sets Up Season 2

Making its Prime Video debut on November 14, 2024, Cross is a popular crime series that has remained atop the platform's most-watched shows. Based on the fictional Washington, D.C. detective featured in 30 Alex Cross novels by James Patterson, the eight-part series has drawn plaudits for its towering performance by Aldis Hodge as the title character. The show's critical success and wide viewership led Amazon to renew the series for Season 2.

Of course, discussing Cross Season 2 without clarifying what transpires at the end of Season 1 is impossible. Core to Cross' investigative focus is identifying who murdered his wife, Maria. Meanwhile, the mysterious murder of a political activist occupies Cross' work duties, with the shocking confluence of events in the Season 1 finale setting up Season 2's storyline. Beyond naming Maria's murderer, here's...

Aldis Hodge's Alex Cross isn't leaving Prime Video anytime soon. Ben Watkins, the creator and showrunner of Cross, has shared a major update on the crime thriller series' future on the Amazon streamer.

Speaking with Collider, Watkins was asked for an update on Season 2 of Cross, which was confirmed by the streamer in April 2024. "Season 2 is actually filmed. I'm gonna go ahead and give you a spoiler because, fuck it. We started the [writers'] room back in November, we started filming in April, we finished production in September, and we're actually in post-production on Season 2," Watkins revealed. "Each season is a book for me. They're all based on new mysteries. Season 1 is Hero Complex, and Season 2 is called Bitter Fruit.

Prime Video's original series Cross is remarkable not only for its mystery, but for how it treats its female characters. The women in Alex Cross's world are all fully developed characters who can stand on their own, separate from their connection to Cross or the serial killer case he's trying to solve. The two most prominent female characters are Cross's love interest Elle Monteiro, and his old friend Kayla Craig.

With Cross Season 1 now streaming, Cbr spoke to actors Samantha Walkes (who plays Elle) and Alona Tal (who portrays Kayla) about the show's writing for its female characters. They discussed how the women in Cross are different from those in other procedurals, and one other incredible aspect of the writing that viewers may have missed. Plus, Tal reflected on reuniting with showrunner Ben Watkins, with whom she previously collaborated with on Hand of God and Burn Notice.

Prime Videos new detective series, Cross, has gotten a lot of buzz, enough that it already had a Season 2 guaranteed long before it premiered. Fans of the James Patterson books that Alex Cross originates from may already have some clues about what to expect in the future season, especially about a major antagonist. The character of sharp FBI agent Kayla Craig is awfully similar to the name Kyle Craig in Pattersons books. The latter, once a friend of Cross, eventually becomes a major villain to defeat. Do we see the writing on the creative wall here?

In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Alona Tal, who plays Craig in the series, was quick to note: This is the fun part. Since this is a new world, any resemblance [of the two characters] is just fuel for the speculation, and that keeps you at the edge of your seat. In every good character, there has to...

The Prime Video crime thriller Cross once again brings the beloved James Patterson literary character to life in spectacular fashion, with Leverage alum Aldis Hodge taking on the exhilarating role of the brilliant D.C. forensic psychologist and detective Alex Cross. The highly-buzzed about series will follow Cross as he utilizes his exceptional capability of digging into the psyches of dangerous killers and their victims in order to identify and catch some of the country's most violent offenders.

The heart-racing original will consist of eight episodes in its first season and has already been greenlit for an additional second installment, likely following in the footsteps of fellow book adaptation Prime hit Reacher. The determined detective has already been brought to the big screen in three less-than-warmly received films, with both the great Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry tackling the epic role. Let's jump in and explore how Cross will relate to the James Patterson novels.

New to Prime Video on November 14, 2024, Cross is the latest adaptation based on the James Patterson fictional detective. The dramatic crime series concerns the investigative exploits of Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge), a skilled forensic expert and criminal psychologist who delves into the twisted minds of those he apprehends to understand their violent behavior.

Denzel Washington and Tyler Perry famously portrayed the character in the panned movies Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider, and Alex Cross, allowing Aldis Hodge to repair the character's reputation in the new TV adaptation. Those tuning into Prime Video to see how faithfully the show adapts Patterson's popular source novels will recognize the talented supporting cast from several recent movies and TV shows. Here's the cast and characters featured in Cross.

James Patterson's most iconic detective is getting a new life with Ben Watkins at the helm in Prime Video's Cross. The Washington D.C.-based detective and forensic psychologist has been the lead of 32 novels by the bestselling author, and first made his way to the screen with 1997's Kiss the Girls, which starred Morgan Freeman as Alex Cross, which he reprised with the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider, which was actually the first book in the series. He would later be brought back with the 2012 franchise reboot Alex Cross, which starred Tyler Perry in the titular role.

James Patterson's Alex Cross book series got their start back in 1993, and there have since been 32 books published.

Hodge has also been steadily building his filmography behind the camera, serving as a producer on Cross as well as co-writing and producing the sci-fi thriller Parallel with his brother, Edwin Hodge.

Mustafa, on the other hand, has taken an interesting route in his career, beginning as a wide receiver in the NFL before turning his attention to acting in the late '00s. He most notably became a household name thanks to being the main star...

Cross season 2 gets a surprising filming update ahead of the season 1 premiere.

James Patterson's iconic Washington D.C. detective and forensic psychologist is back in a big way with Cross. The upcoming Prime Video show serves as the fourth adaptation of Patterson's character, with Morgan Freeman having played him twice in the psychological thrillers Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, before being surpassed by Tyler Perry in the 2012 franchise reboot, Alex Cross. This time around, the eponymous detective is being played by Aldis Hodge, best known for his work in the Leverage shows, as well as the Invisible Man reboot, Turn: Washington's Spies and Black Adam, among others.

Unlike the prior three films, Cross will be taking an original approach to adapting Patterson's franchise, not adapting any one specific novel, but instead creating a new case with some iconic characters appearing. The show will follow Hodge's Cross and his...

November 2024 brings an exciting lineup of Prime Video Originals, featuring a diverse range of films and series that cater to various tastes. Kicking off the month is Freedom on November 1, a gripping French thriller inspired by the true story of a notorious gangster, featuring a strong cast led by Lucas Bravo. Following this, on November 7, the Hindi action series Citadel (Honey Bunny), a spin-off of the acclaimed original, delves into the world of international spies with stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan. The disaster film Every Minute Counts arrives on November 8, chronicling the aftermath of the 1985 Mexico City earthquake.

On November 10, the documentary series German Cocaine Cowboy examines the rise of gangster Joe Marx within the Cali cartel. Other highlights include the thriller series Cross on November 14, the action-adventure film Red One on November 15, and the intriguing docu-film Billions Mike on November 17. Comedy fans can look forward to Jeff Dunham...

Aldis Hodge has a new Cross to bear, but his take on author James Pattersons beloved detective will be a vastly different interpretation than has appeared in previous adaptations of the novels. And Hodge is rightfully excited about his divergent and nuanced iteration of Alex Cross, who appears in the upcoming Prime Video series, which is aptly titled Cross. Hodge said in an interview with Screen Rant while appearing at the New York Comic Con (Nycc):

I think that, for me, I see our execution of Cross as just one element, which is the vast fullness of his entire world it's alluding to, if we get to explore that. We get to see the cop, not only that, we get to see the father, we get to see the family man, the friend. We get to see the vulnerable person that may not have all the answers, and is still trying to find out.

Despite being the subject of 34 bestselling crime novels from author James Patterson, fictional Washington Metro Pd detective and Psychology PhD holder Alex Cross has yet to get a really good screen adaptation. Morgan Freeman starring 90s twofer Kiss The Girls and Along Came A Spider were decent enough, whilst the less said about Tyler Perry's 2012 effort probably the better. However, all that looks set to change with Prime Video's upcoming series Cross. Written and created by Hand Of God producer Ben Watkins, this new series stars Aldis Hodge (Black Adam) as Cross, the star detective who deploys his prodigious talent for forensic psychology to catch killers. Check out the first trailer below:

A fetishistic killer. Intensely personal stakes. Mind games upon mind games upon mind games. Is anybody else getting some serious American Luther vibes from this, or is it just us? Either way, there's plenty here to get hyped about.

Aldis Hodge has hung up his Hawkman wings, but hes still fighting crime in the official trailer for Prime Videos upcoming series, Cross. And his character, Alex Cross, is facing a seemingly unstoppable opponent as the 38-year-old detective goes up against a creepy masked killer in the brand-new footage. Check out the video (below), which gives fans a glimpse into the crime thriller, which adapts author James Pattersons beloved literary character for the small screen.

Ben Watkins teams up with Hodge in the Cross creative collaboration. Watkins acts as the Prime Video series showrunner and executive producer, and his most prolific work as an EP comes from his contributions to the television shows Burn Notice, Hand of God and Truth Be Told. And Watkins knows Hodge has something special to offer the fans with his interpretation of Alex Cross. Watkins said of Hodge during an interview with Entertainment Weekly:...

The trailer for Cross has premiered. The upcoming Prime Video show is the latest adaptation of James Patterson's Alex Cross books, following a detective with a PhD in psychology who tracks dangerous killers, though his line of work sometimes threatens his family. The books have previously been adapted into the movies Alex Cross, starring Tyler Perry, and Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, both of which starred Morgan Freeman. The new show stars Jack Reacher: Never Go Back's Aldis Hodge in the title role alongside an ensemble cast that includes Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, and Johnny Ray Gill.

Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for Cross. It opens by introducing a major villain, a killer who wears a fleshlike mask and is creating a masterpiece. This is followed by the introduction of Cross himself, haunted by a crime where it seems that a murder victim's identity has been changed.

Prime Video is ready to close out the year with a stacked roster of projects, and one of the most anticipated ones just got an exciting new look. Prime Video unveiled the first official looks at Cross, the upcoming crime thriller series which will see Aldis Hodge step into the role of Alex Cross, the famous detective who uses forensic psychology to analyze the minds of killers to solve crimes and help victims. The series is adapted from the Alex Cross novels by James Paterson, and Hodge will take over the role of Cross from Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry, who have both portrayed the character in the past. In addition to Hodge, Cross also stars Ryan Eggold, Jennifer Wigmore, Stacie Greenwell, Mercedes de la Zerda, Sharon Taylor, Ashley Rios, Siobhan Murphy, Darnell Bartholomew, Isaiah Mustafa, Stephanie Belding, Matthew Lillard, and more.

Prime Video has revealed the first look teaser trailer for their upcoming Cross series, the latest adaptation from James Patterson's crime thriller novels.

Many people are opting for a healthier diet by cutting out animal products and plant-based meat substitutes are gaining in popularity recently. Hollywood however has been ahead of the vegan trend by decades, with a long history of heroic and villainous characters spawned from vegetation.

Mineral-based characters like Colossus and Thing are fine, but metal or rock are not living organisms, and they may be confusing to audiences in terms of how they can move. Plants on the other hand are quite alive, and it makes perfect sense that they could become sentient beings.
