Tyler Perry to Direct Film for Landmark Play
Sep 9, 2009 Author: MissXpose | Filed under: Uncategorized
Tyler Perry knows how to deliver a story through a film. That is why Perry is set to write, direct, and producer Ntozake Shange’s award-winning 1975 play ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf.’ It will be the first project made under his new production company, 34th Street Films.
‘For Colored Girls’ is a series of 20 poems performed through a cast of nameless women, each known only by a color. The subject matter is a bit heavy, with Lady in Blue chooses to have an abortion, Lady in Red tells a tale of domestic violence but we hear its a must-read.
Perry states: “Making a film of ‘For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow is Enuf’ is a dream come true for me. Ntozake Shange’s play is a magnificent tribute to the strength and dignity of women of color, and I think audiences of all generations will be able to recognize and embrace the experiences these women represent. Creatively, this movie is one of the most exciting undertakings of my career, and I’m excited to start production this November.”
The film will feature an all-star cast of female actors.
“I Can Do Bad All By Myself” will be in theatres soon and a 2010 release date is already set for “Why Did I Get Married Too?”. Tyler Perry is going to running Hollywood!

I really hope this is not another battered women, male dog, male rescuer type of film. Because I’m soooo tired of them. In other words, all his films are alike. Hopefully, this one will be different.
Make that “MONEY” TP…..
I actually get more involved in MADEA than the story line but I LOVE the fact that GOD is not far from it~!
TEAM TYLER!
Tyler-
you are a blessed man, continue to do what you do no matter what the hatters say if they don’t like it don’t watch it. because you have helped more people in having your plays and movies, hell it helped me tremendously i had an ok childhood. when i watched Madea’s Family Reunion the movie it was like i was watching myself on that screen, my mother was just like the mother who treated one sister different then the other in her eyes i wasn’t the prettiest nor was i good enough for her, no matter what i did. it is still hard for me at age 41 but because of Madea i learned to forgive and move on i no longer associate myself with my mother and it’s for the best for me and my children the hurt and pain that i have endured is unbarable to me and my children and i refuse to subject them to that. keep doing what God put in your heart to do and let the hatters know it’s because of them that you are so successful lol
May God continue to Bless you
