Exclusive Video Interview: Bringing Alex Cross to Life: Insights from Cross’ Creator Ben Watkins

CrossCross, which recently premiered on Prime Video, is a gripping new series based on James Patterson's best-selling Alex Cross novels. The series, created by showrunner and executive producer Ben Watkins, follows Aldis Hodge as Cross, a detective and forensic psychologist who is able to dig into the minds of victims and their killers in order to identify and capture murderers, all while grappling with the trauma of his wife's death.

Watkins recently spoke with SciFi Vision, sharing some insights on adapting Patterson’s novels. Creating a series of eight episodes as opposed to a film allowed for deeper character exploration alongside a complex thriller plot, according to Watkins. “I went back into the books and realized there are elements of the books that never made it to the screen,” explained the creator. “…We get to do an intricate, very twisty thriller, but we also get a chance to go into the characters.”

It was both “insanely difficult” and “ultimately easy” for star Henrie to step back into the shoes of Justin after so many years. “The pressure was certainly there, because there’s a lot of expectation,” the actor told SciFi Vision during a recent press conference. “…There [are] a lot of people with a lot of opinions and a lot of anticipation, so that pressure was certainly weighing down on me, but the actual doing of it was really easy. It wasn’t like, you know, a sport you hadn’t played in thirteen years, and it’s really hard to pick back up. It was just there.”

Exclusive Video Interview: FROM's David Alpay on Jade's Visions, Connecting with Tabitha & More

***The following contains spoilers for 3.06***

David AlpayIn tonight’s all-new episode of FROM, while Jade (David Alpay) continues to try to put the clues together, he talks to who appears to be Tom the Bartender (Reid Price) about Tabitha (Catalina Sandino Moreno)’s visions and how they must mean something, yet he doesn’t seem to trust what he himself sees. Recently, when SciFi Vision spoke with Alpay, he talked about why he thinks that might be. “I wonder if maybe there's a chance that because Jade is aware that he's seeing Tom the Bartender, and he's aware that he's having these hallucinations, that maybe he's not the most trustworthy narrator of his own sort of inner monologue,” explained the actor to the site. “It's like at what point do the things that I'm seeing cease to be helpful, and at what point are they delusions that are taking me off the right path?”

Alpay also spoke to Jade’s connection with Tabitha and how it’s important they are sharing information. “That's something that hasn't happened previously, and different characters have different experiences,” said the actor. “It's the totality of that experience that is going to help figure out how to get out of it, whether it's Jade who does it or somebody else…So, Tabitha's got information that Jade needs. Other people have information that Jade needs, and it's a matter of leveraging those relationships, for sure.”

The actor also speculated on things such as whether or not Tabitha even actually returned to Maine, whether Jade is aware Sara (Avery Konrad) killed Tobey (Colby Conrad) and how he would react if he found out, and much more.
