And it does absolutely nothing to change my mind about how I've felt about it all along - especially after seeing the official poster that I posted a few days ago, which, as I already stated, turned me off instantly. But I guess it's good to Souleymane Sy Savane getting work.

We didn't get any formal announcements for these bits of casting for Tyler Perry's I, Alex Cross project, currently shooting in Cleveland, OH. I was just handed an official full casting sheet for the movie, and noticed a couple of names we hadn't previously mentioned as being attached to the film... specifically...

Unlike most (if the 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is of any indication) I wasn't that enamored with the original 1966 film. I've seen it twice; first as a kid, and then later, a few years ago, and I had trouble remaining engaged throughout. Yeah I know, blasphemy on my part. La-di-dah! I think what I had most trouble with was getting past the special effects, which, while I'm sure were considered groundbreaking at the time, leave a lot to be desired when compared to films that came before and even after it.

He says nothing was specifically responsible for his detour, except disappointment with the roles offered him. And Mr. Tucker, who on Friday will begin his own cross-country comedy tour in preparation for what he says will be bigger things to come, is supremely confident that he can pick up exactly where he left off... “When I got to ‘Rush Hour,’ ” he said, “I felt like: O.K., I’ve proven myself as the pinnacle. Now where’s all the bigger movies?” Instead, he said, the parts he was offered were too similar to “Rush Hour” and “frankly, just weren’t good enough.” So Mr. Tucker said he simply sat it out, rather than accept projects to stay in the public eye. Mr. Tucker did not provide details about the film projects he was developing for himself and hoped to get into production later this year. Asked to name an actor whose career he wished to emulate, he immediately said Sidney Poitier, citing “The Defiant Ones” as a movie that “meant something.” “It was what was going on in real life,” Mr. Tucker said. “It’s social, real stuff, and I like movies like that.” From a New York Times profile of Chris Tucker, posted earlier today, as he prepares to go on a comedy tour, answering a question that many keep asking - what happened to Chris Tucker?.
