Cross Interview: The Biggest Difference Between the Prime Video Series & Books

Описание: Prolific best-selling author James Patterson's long-running Alex Cross series has been adapted to the big screen on numerous occasions with films like Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider, and Alex Cross. Now, Patterson's iconic mystery-thriller series is heading to Prime Video with Cross, an eight-episode series created by Ben Watkins, led by Aldis Hodge as the titular Washington D.C. police detective. So, what makes this particular show different from the book-to-screen adaptations we've seen before?

According to Watkins, Cross makes sure viewers get the "whole scope of that world." This take on the books gives an intimate look at Alex Cross and his best friend and partner, Detective John Sampson's (played by Isaiah Mustafa) investigations, as well as their home lives. Their team is dedicated to solving heinous crimes and delving into the minds of serial killers, which no doubt takes a mental toll on them, not to mention puts their families at risk. The show also stars Juanita Jennings, Siobhan Murphy, and Ryan Eggold.

At New York Comic-Con, Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with Watkins, Hodge, Mustafa, and co-stars Eggold, Samantha Walkes, and Alona Tal to discuss developing an original Cross story with Patterson's blessing, actor chemistry, hearing the shocking news that Season 2 was picked up before airing a single episode and expressing gratitude for the crew members.
