Tyler Perry inks deal for two more movies with Lionsgate

Tags:

Tyler Perry, the man behind the nation’s current top movie, Madea Goes to Jail, has reached an agreement to reteam with Lionsgate on his next two features, Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad All by Myself and Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too.

I Can Do Bad All by Myself is based on one of Perry’s plays and features his popular character Madea. It will start shooting in two weeks at the new Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta and is due out in September 2009. The sequel Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Too will go into production later this year and should be released on Easter weekend in 2010. The seven movies that Perry has already released via Lionsgate have grossed more than $350 million at the domestic box office.

    Great. More Madea. Just what the world needs.

    Is he on such an ego trip that he HAS to put his name as the lead in every movie? That alone means I’ll never watch anything of his.

    • mon

      maybe you are mad because your name is not on there I think he is a very brilliant man we need more black men like him.

    Tyler Perry has made great strides in Hollywood for minorities. He should be very proud. He’s created a winning formula for a minority-centric movie franchise. It’s a great feat! — Tasha Joseph, creator http://www.ChickCentric.com

    If you watch anyone of the movies or early plays featuring Madea you will see Tyler Perry deserves to put his name on everything. He is so good, you can’t stand it. lol.

    Tyler Perry is by far an amazing man. He had gone through so much and yet still finds a way to come up on top of the game. I am so proud of him. He’s kept the faith and he believed. I am a true supporter of all of his work..Congratulations, again and again and again.

    Why are people putting up resumes?

  • Arielle Cole

    I’ve always wanted to be an actress, but haven’t taken many classes. I also put those dreams on hold to figure out if it was right for me when I became closer to God. I still feel the passion, but I don’t just want to act for anyone, I want to act for Tyler Perry because all of his movies and plays have a message in them that relates to God and I’m all about showing my talent for the Lord. :-) We will meet one day Perry
