Tyler Perry put Black in the black entertainment industry with his iconic acting. The beloved filmmaker recruited Meagan Good and Cory Hardrict, two famous divorcees, to star in his new movie about DIVORCE!
The founder of Tyler Perry Studios is no stranger to producing, directing and starring in films that depict black culture. His films usually share important messages through religious themes and tear-jerking scripts about human emotions, from love to betrayal.
Creator and performer Mabel “Madea” Simmons has a new project with the aforementioned stars and other high-profile performers. Following the announcement, fans flooded social media with their excitement, believing the 53-year-old chose the couple for their personal experiences with breakups.
Meagan Good, Cory Hardrict & Five More To Star In Tyler Perry’s New Movie With Amazon Prime Video
The “Acrimony” producer is on a roll for a movie this summer as the New Orleans native announced he has two movies on the way. Per Deadline, Perry revealed her first film under a four-picture deal with Amazon titled, “Black, White, & Blue.”
A day after dropping the news, the father of one revealed “Divorce in the Black” as his second project in the collaboration. In typical fashion, the “Madea’s Family Reunion” star will write, direct and produce the upcoming film.
Seven famous Hollywood acts have already been chosen to take part in the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award recipient’s film. The star-studded roster includes Joseph Lee Anderson, Taylor Polidore, Shannon Wallace, Richard Lawson, and Debbi Morgan alongside Good and Hardrict.
According to the news outlet, the upcoming film follows the story of Ava, a young banking professional whose life is turned upside down when her husband, Dallas, no longer wants to fulfill his vows even though he is willing to fight for their marriage.
In true Perry fashion, the script has a surprising plot twist where fate helps Ava uncover Dallas’ unforgivable sin that destroyed their union. The male character has “sabotaged Ava’s destiny to be loved by her true soulmate.”
Hardrict was reportedly chosen to play the cruel husband; however, there is no word on Good’s role or any other cast members in the film. The star of “Eve’s Bayou” may be the female lead; at least, that is the biggest hope of the fans for the upcoming rollercoaster movie.
Celebrating the announcement of his second Amazon Prime Video project, Perry opened his Instagram page with a screenshot of the Deadline article. “And one more thing!” the 53-year-old captioned the post, receiving over a thousand comments from excited fans.
Theorists point to the filmmaker making an iconic move with his cast by choosing two divorcees to star in a film about marital problems. Many echoed similar sentiments with one constant theme — they can’t wait to watch stars bring their sensational skills to the big screen.
“Casting Meagan and Cory in a movie about divorce will bring them from an emotional place. The movie will be [fire emoji],” one fan raved. Another gushed: “Not Cory and Meagan in a movie with the title “Divorce” in it. Ok, Method acting.”
A third praised Perry for her acting skills, writing: “I love that you chose two actors who could draw from their own experiences for this role. Can’t wait to see it all come together!” A friend of the couple sweetly commented: “Meagan & Cory. Can’t wait to witness the magic!”
