Tyler Perry Plans Two More TravestiesBy Josh Tyler: 2006-11-17 00:00:00
Lionsgate has made a pile of money off Tyler Perry, and for once they didn't need the support of rich Caucasians and their spoiled teenagers to do it. Perry is hugely popular with minorities, and slapping his name on a movie guarantees ticket sales. So it's no surprise to find out that Lionsgate has acquired the rights to Perry's next two movies.
The Hollywood Reporter says his next two films, his fourth and fifth, will be Why Did I Get Married? and A Jazz Blue Man. His third movie, Daddy's Little Girls is due in theaters early next year. Like Perry's Madea movies, Why Did I Get Married is an adaptation of another one of his stage plays. As the title suggests, it's about the good and bad of being married. It starts shooting in January. A Jazz Man's Blues is about a young black jazz singer from a rural town who leaves seeking fame only to be drawn back home to save a woman he had an affair with. Perry will start work on it over the summer. Tyler Perry's first two movies, Madea's Family Reunion and Diary of a Mad Black Woman made more than $113 million and cost much less than that to make. Mad Black Woman was a box office success but a critical crash and burn. Madea made even more money, but sucked just about as much. No one seems to care how bad they are. People turn up for his movies in force. Tyler Perry is the black community's version of Pauly Shore.
