RE: race and Patterson, I dunno. Seems he has a better track record in print. Cross is written as a Black man. The books had an Asian female lead (a "Yuki Costellano" or something) who was written out of the show after the pilot (though now the IMDB has Linda Park in the cast in a supporting role). How does one have a show set in San Fransisco with no Asians? It's like setting a sitcom in NYC with no Latinos. . . . oh wait, yeah, nevermind. I think the original poster might be confusing the two stories; there's a new Cross movie being planned and it is thought that Freeman is too old now to play Cross (as if he wasn't too old in 92) and Boris' name is in the mix. Might Boris be too young? What about Ejiofor?
