Janet Jackson will be starring in the new Tyler Perry movie Why Did I Get Married. The movie is based on Perry’s stage play by the same name about family and the highs and lows of marriage. Its schedule release is for later this year. In the same fashion as Daddy’s Little Girls(soon to be released on DVD), Madea’s Family Reunion and Diary Of A Mad Black Woman; Why Did I Get Married is sure to be a hit.
Also starring in the movie is neo-soul sensation Jill Scott who has such hits as last years Cross My Mind and Golden, Malik Yoba from New York Undercover fame, Sharon Leal and the man himself Tyler Perry.
Perry speaks highly of Jackson and Scott in his email news letter:
“Can I tell you that I love Jill Scott? That is the kind of woman that
can smile and end a war. Really she is unbelievable. And Janet Jackson
has to be the most professional superstar that I have ever worked
with. She was the first one there and the last one to leave–always on
time and no drama. These women put it down! I’ll talk more about the
rest of the cast later, but this was the best time that I have had
making a movie yet. We’re looking to release it in October of this year.”
Ms. Jackson mostly known for her top selling music is no stranger to film work. Many recall her as the sweet little Penny on Good Times, she appeared on Fame and her movie credits include Poetic Justice where she co-starred along the side Tupac Shakur and The Nutty Professor with the great Eddie Murphy.
Tyler Perry also has another movie soon to begin filming based on yet another one of his great stage plays Meet The Browns due to start filming this summer and a 2008 release.
Be on the look out for Tyler Perry’s House Of Payne on TBS June 6th. And TPTV will be broadcasting 24-7 online starting this June- must have broadband to view.
