Tyler Perry Disliked PROMETHEUS; Writing Sci-Fi Film

While promoting Madea’s Witness Protection, the Alex Cross star talks with BlackFilm about his potential science fiction flick and his disappointment with Ridley Scott’s Prometheus

To the comic-book world, Tyler Perry is most known for his shocking role in the Star Trek film as Admiral Richard Barnett. But did you know that he is actually a sci-fi geek?


TP: I love Sci Fi, I love the Alien movies and the Alien franchise. I was very disappointed with Prometheus, but I love that whole franchise. Those are my favorite movies. I’m actually working on a sci-fi movie right now.

BF: Can you tell us a little bit about that?

TP: No, but I’m writing a sci-fi movie that I’m really excited about.



Lets hope its not a fictional take on the Madea character, but something quite somber as Prometheus

Why hate on the guy, he is doing what every says to do when you don't like something. Come up with something better. It may suck big time, but for right now that is beside the point.

By the way, Tyler Perry has mastered the art of making low budget movies and turning a 20-30 million profit out of it. Seriously look how much it cost to make a Tyler Perry movie. Like 10 million dollars out of his pocket, and it goes on and makes around 30-40 million at the box office. The dude nets like 20 million per movie he makes. He may be a talentless hack when it comes to writing, but he has a lot of talent when it comes to making money.

A bunch of haters in this thread. Tyler Perry makes movies for people who like that type of film. Why is it okay for Earnest to make those silly Earnest goes to [INSERT PLACE HERE] movies, but not Tyler Perry? Jay and Silent Bob are another one. Skin color, obviously.

But, with that said...

Tyler Perry is all of a sudden a Sci-fi fan and and Aliens fan....I wonder if he loved Alien Resurrection, which he probaly bases his horrible Madea movies on....I hope he just stops making movies period especially before he ruins the science-fiction genre.

He's no one all he does is dress up as a woman and make money from it.
His movies will never be as good as Prometheus.
Ps. I loved Prometheus.

HE'S disappointed with Prometheus?!? This guy was 15 years behind Martin Lawrence and Eddie Murphy with the "cross-dressing, fat-lady" concept and HE'S disappointed. Mr. Perry, I understand your disappointment, because most of your work would have to be promoted 6 times just to reach the dizzying heights of "disappointing".

@Luminus
I know his films are made for people who like that type of film. They're called "special" or "low-functioning". They even have their own Olympics. Good for them.

that's right...the dude's a genius in making very profitable movies, which is something most of the so-called hollywood pros, including sir Ridley, ought to learn.

and he's right also on Prometheus being S**T and a big disappointment. even those of u who're dissing Tyler..don't deny that TRUTH's been said here. the movie might have great VISUALS (i mean..Ridley Scott hasn't lost his craft there), but, as a storyteller..he's more like Lucas with his second star wars trilogy here.

Oh, he didn't like it. It's ok, Ridley Scott didn't like Madea films.

I'm disappointed to see how many so-called fanboys on this site are actually a bunch of ignorant, racist little punks. Hating on a man who could buy you, your family and have your girl washing his underwear just with the change between his couch cushions. So many of you bitched that Prometheus sucked but the minute that Tyler Perry says the same thing your little KKK attitudes show. I'm pretty sure your little welfare, Aryan Brotherhood comments mean very little to Perry as he goes to the bank and cashes in on his pay day you haters. Grow the hell up and quit ruining this site with your hate.

Prometheus was a bad movie the only good of it was the special effects. And Tyler Perry actually makes good movies if you actually watch the madea movie its not only about comedy is how a family deals with issues and how they get over with, yea it has comedy in it. But what movies don't? And it is not only "Black people" who go see madea movies is a lot of other races who go watch it to. I seen madea movies in the theater and other of his and there were Hispanic, white, black, even Asian, Indianans, Arabs watching it and they all were laughing at his jokes! So stop hating on him for saying the truth and i cant wait to see his sci-fi movie. And im Hispanic and i like his movie.And yes there are some racist comments.

ya had also forgot he was in the new star trek. So by that you can tell he is a fan of it, and he had said it before when star trek came out

Manogeek, you ignorant racist. You would have us lie and remain silent about an african-merican who makes shit movies, when the Nolan's and Whedon's of the world get ragged on? Where were you when Micheal Bay said turtles are from Mars? Where were you when JJ Abrams made Star Trek interesting while still managing to piss off the 12 trekkers that were still irate about no Shatner? Oh no, it's okay to talk trash on Whitey, but heaven fo-bids we say a negative thing about Perry. Racist douchebag, Manogeek. You are also an elitist prick if you think that a persons bank account should determine if he should be listened to or not. You sicken me.

funny i read spike lee hates his movies. he actually said why!

@Ralifinader I'm sure my white mother and white wife will be very heart broken to suddenly learn that after 37 years in this world that I suddenly hate "whitey". Now the comment I was referring to was removed after I made my comment cause I don't see it there now. I like how people can dog others in forums (very easy for soft chumps to hide behind a keyboard, like you suddenly grew a pair) but when you call some one on some stupid bs others are quick to jump on a platform they know nothing about. If you didn't say something racist or ignorant then I wasn't talking to you. I love this site and I come here every day. It just really kills me to see that a place where even my kids come to to find out about comic book movies that I introduce them to has to have so much hate at times. Honestly I'm not a fan of the Madea movies, I won't pay to see them but what I read earlier that made me comment made me sick and pissed me off. Perry is entitled to his opinion just as the rest of us are but any one that blasts him cause of his skin color or anyone else for that matter should be checked. So once again if you didn't say it then I wasn't talking to you.

@Manogeek I understand what you mean. Everytime people talk about Whedon or Nolan, Never do they talk about their race. NEVER. But when people see a director, or Black Panther actors stepping up they make fun of it like its all a joke (well Madea movies are supposed to be comedies, ot Panther). There is a double standard here everyone. Admit it.

I think that if you have to use racism as part (or all) of your argument, then you are a moron deserving of the ridicule you must receive on a daily basis.

Having said that, I thought Prometheus was "okay". Nothing great, but better than anything Mr. Perry has EVER done. To those of you equating his bank account with his intelligence and integrity; you are the type of people that Bernie Madoff would LOVE. After all, aren't the super rich just the nicest people? Aren't they? Anyone?

Does anybody even realize that Tyler Perry used to be homeless, Living on the streets? Like 15-20 years ago. Wrote his Madea plays while living in shelters. The point isn't about how much money he has its how he got to where he is now.
Luminus
Luminus - 6/29/2012, 12:11 PM
Anyone claiming that Prometheus was a good movie does not have a valid opinion. Fact. The Madea films make money. I don't like them, but again they aren't made for me (I'm black, by the way). I don't like Scott Pilgrim, either. That was made for white people and it's idiotic. >;) The end.
