Hello Everyone,
I trust that you all are having a great summer. I know that I am. I
think most of you know that I have taken some time off, but I want you
to know that I have been thinking about you. During my time off I’ve
completed Meet The Browns, keeping all of you in mind. I know that
David Mann (Brown) is going to do a great job. I’m encouraging everyone
to check the schedule so that you guys can get the good seats before we
start advertising.
In case you haven’t heard, I am currently filming my first featured
movie. The movie is based on the stage play, “DIARY OF A MAD BLACK
WOMAN”. After the completion of this film I will be back with one more
Madea play called “Madea Goes to Jail”, coming in January. Around the
same time “DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN” will open in theatres.
I just finished my first week of filming for the movie “DIARY OF A MAD
BLACK WOMAN” and it is awesome. I’ve put a few pictures on the web site
(
www.tylerperry.net) so that you all will be the first to witness
what’s
going on. The movie is expected to be released in the month of January,
but until then I will be updating you on how it’s going. I tell you,
Kimberly Elise (John Q, Set It Off, Manchurian Candidate) is doing an
awesome job as Helen. Steve Harris (The Practice) is playing Charles
and they are nailing every scene. Ya’ll know Madea is doing her thing
like she always does. Prepare to be shocked by Shemar Moore’s
performance and new look who is playing Orlando. Let me tell you who
else is in the movie, Judge Maybelline Ephraim is making a cameo as the
divorce court judge. There is a scene when Madea gets arrested and she
has to stand before Judge Mathis, (this scene is so funny) and Pastor
Donnie McClurkin is the Pastor of the Church.
I’ve got to go now because I’m on my way to meet our other star in the
movie, Cicely Tyson. Can you believe that she is playing Myrtle? That is so amazing to me.
I am so proud of the work that everyone is doing. We are doing things you have never seen in the history of film, Black people are being shown in this positive light. In this film blacks are being portrayed as rich, and loving. Well, Charles is playing a dog in the movie, there are also other black men in this movie that we will all be very proud of. Seeing us having made it on our brain and skill, rather than drugs and riff raft is what I’m most happy about.
I must tell everyone that this is a family movie, so you will be able
to take the entire family. I refused to compromise, and the reason I refuse to is because of people like you. You guys keep buying my videos directly from The Tyler Perry Company and investing in me and I appreciate that. This allows me to do things the way that God would have them done, but also to be able to walk away when it’s not right, (…hence the sitcom with C.B.S.) There will be no sex, profanity, or violence, in this movie, well there is Madea Violence. (smile) but you know what
I’m saying.
I ask you to pray for us. I’m trying to be very sensitive to the
Spirit so that this movie is powerful and anointed. My deepest prayer is when people walk away from the movie theaters that they leave changed. After you guys see it you will know what I mean.
God bless you! I’ll get some more pictures for you all to see for next week. I will also tell you about my meeting with Ms. Tyson.
Oh yeah, go to the message board and let me know what you think of this and let me know if you have your MEET THE BROWN’S tickets.
Talk to you soon.
