'Cross' is not adapting any specific James Patterson book. Instead, it hopes to present fans with the world they love ... and an exciting new story.
Samantha is a writer based in Los Angeles. Television is her one true love, and she tweets about it. A lot.Growing up, Hodge played in a Los Angeles basketball league filled with people in the entertainment industry, and one of his fellow players happened to be writer Ben Watkins . Watkins recalls making a “mental note” of both Aldis and his brother Edwin.
“When I started down the rabbit hole of reading the books and I rewatched the films, I was making a list of the things that I felt like the films hadn't done justice to,” Watkins says.That list then evolved into the series staples that Watkins wanted to make sure were a part of the show: Washington D.C. as the backdrop, Alex grappling with the murder of his wife, cutting to the villain’s POV, and of course, Alex’s lifelong best friend John Sampson supporting him .
For Patterson, it was an exciting development. “It’s something I say when anybody is developing one of my books or characters: I much prefer the story be brand new,” Patterson says. “I was hoping the show would be a breakthrough and not dependent on the book, and it’s happened." “He understands what's getting done well, what's not getting done well. The thing that defines him is his moral fiber,” Hodge says of Cross. “He sits between a rock and a hard place sometimes. His life is not easy because he has to enforce policy but he also has to do so with respect to his community because he understands, without that badge, he may be sitting on the wrong end of said policy.”“We refused to gloss over it,” Watkins adds.
