Yes, the melodrama comedian guy is going a very different route for his next movie.
Tyler Perry, the visionary filmmaker behind such hits as Madea's Gun and Madea's Gonna Shoot You, is taking on a role you probably never thought you'd see him in. No, he's not dating a woman. (BURN.) He won't be dressing up like a crazy old lady either. No, in fact, he'll be a regular human man who has a very serious job. Remember Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, those low-rent thrillers based on popular books that starred Morgan Freeman as Det. Alex Cross, murder investigator extraordinaire? Well, they're continuing the series, just not with Morgan Freeman. Idris Elba, of The Wire and Beyoncé & Ali's Stair-Throwing Hothouse, was originally supposed to play the part, but he backed out. So can you see where I'm going with this? Yes, no joke, Tyler Perry will be playing Alex Cross in a new planned franchise. The first picture will be directed by Rob Cohen, who did xXx and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. (How big of a mantle do you need to fit all those Oscars, I wonder?) Doesn't that sound great?? Aren't you thrilled?? (In all seriousness, I know Tyler Perry's movies are sort of a third rail in terms of speaking negatively about them, so say what you will about them as Movies, but Mr. Perry is NOT a good actor, so this sounds like an unholy mess.) [THR]
You can do whatever you want with this information. I am going to file it under things that make you go hmmmm.
