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.

Hey tyler perry i am your biggest fan ever. you know you are truly amazing.i cant wait to see Why did i get married the movie with janet jackson. Can you please make Tyler Perry's I can do bad all by myself the movie The play is truly inspiring and you can take the funeral from meet the browns and put it in the movie as well as her class reunion from Madeas class reunion and show how madea gets hospitalized from having diabetes and this one Madea should bring her gun back cause i think that's what fans want. But Madea family reunion movie it wasnt appopriate for that type of movie it wasnt necessary but please bring it back. i love the people you choose for your movies its always newcomers or an actor thats only done 1 , 2, or 3 movies putting them right on the map. i noticed you wrote in Madea goes to jail play in Madeas family reunion movie the part about Nikki, the fosterchild. i wonder if youll do a play to every movie but i dont think so i think youll continue doing madea films new ones without the plays added and so on.
