Alex Cross opens in theaters tomorrow but Tyler Perry, who stars as the titular police — and later FBI — consultant/psychologist, is already planning his second film playing the character.
Alex Cross (the film) is loosely based on the 12th book in the series by James Patterson, originally published in 2006 as simply Cross. Now Perry is looking at the 13th in the series, Double Cross (published in 2007) as the storyline for the next film. Apparently all the Is and Ts haven't yet been dotted and crossed, but if Alex Cross opens strong, the studio — and Perry — want to be prepared to quickly move forward with a sequel.

An Alex Cross Thriller (13th in series)
Just when Alex Cross's life is calming down, he is drawn back into the game to confront a criminal mastermind like no other. The elaborate murders that have stunned Washington, DC, are the wildest that Alex Cross and his new girlfriend, Detective Brianna Stone, have ever seen. This maniac adores an audience, and stages his killings as spectacles in public settings. Alex is pursuing a genius of terror who has the whole city on edge as it waits for his next move. And the killer loves the attention, no doubt-he even sets up his own Web site and live video feed to trumpet his madness.
And in Colorado, another criminal mastermind is planning a triumphant return. From his supermaximum-security prison cell, Kyle Craig has plotted for years to have one chance at an impossible escape. If he has to join forces with DC's Audience Killer to get back at the man who put him in that cell — Alex Cross — all the better.
