Tyler Perry, Escaping It All (including Madea)
Next year, filmmaker Tyler Perry will turn 50, finish his "Madea" movie franchise and start thinking hard about his legacy. But in the next few days, he has the most pressing problem of releasing "Nobody's Fool."
The film, which will be released on Friday, will star Emmy Award-winner Tiffany Haddish as Tanya, a woman who, after leaving prison, moves in with her sister (Tika Sumpter), a successful business woman with a disastrous love life. The movie, the 20 of Mr. Perry, is his first comedy with R rating.
At a time when television critics praise anti-comedy calls, programs like FX "Atlanta" and HBO "Barry" the two Emmy nominees in 2018 for the best comedy series that won accolades for their intelligence, but often opted for nuances instead of laughter: "Nobody's Fool" is different. It could be closer to an anti-anti-comedy.
When it comes to some of those critically acclaimed television shows, "To be honest with you, I'm often seeing it and I do not understand it," Mr. Perry said. "Just give me the simple comedy of the day, tell me what I'm supposed to laugh at, do not make me think about that."

For his first film with Paramount Pictures, Mr. Perry introduced the MTV series "Catfish" in the "Nobody's Fool" plot, eager to include a brand in Paramount's parent company.
"Catfish" finds people who lie about their identities to online love interests who have never met them.
In December, Mr. Perry appears as Colin Powell in Dick Cheney's biopic "Vice." Mr. Perry, who studied clips from the former secretary of state to nail down the voice, said he called Mr. Powell to play the role and asked for his blessing, which was granted.
This spring, she plans to release "A Madea Family Funeral, by Tyler Perry," in which she repeats her performance as the matriarch of the joke. The first nine live-action movies from Madea, which he has written and starred in all and directed all but one, have grossed more than $ 548 million in the US. UU., According to Box Office Mojo.
Mr. Perry spoke about rejecting an announcement of the 2018 Super Bowl, avoiding political comedies and writing for an actress who considers young Madea. Here, edited extracts:
Do you ever feel tempted to go in the direction of more serious comedies?
Absolutely not. I know my lanes, I have some and I know them very well.
What about making your comedy more political?
It is not mine. When I go to the cinema or when I am watching a television program, I seek to escape everything. I do not want to be reminded of in the things I do.
How do you feel about the artists that discard the Super Bowl appearances to show solidarity with The quarterback and activist Colin Kaepernick?
I just rejected a promotion for the NFL. I did one the previous year and they asked me to do it again and I rejected it. the support of Colin Kaepernick and in disappointment at the way the NFL is handling it. The child only wants to play football and he should be allowed to do so.
Who is he?
- First name: Tyler Perry
- What does theFilmmaker
- How do I get there: "I worked in occasional jobs, saving money and putting everything I had for my works. For seven years, I would like to put on a play every year. In my first show, I thought that 1,200 people would appear and only 30 did. "
- Your great opportunity: When he sold the Fox Theater in Atlanta with his 1998 program "I know they have changed me".
- His obsession: Rumble, a training inspired by boxing.
Do people who work in comedy have to be more careful to offend people in today's climate?
Listen, I'm a black man in the United States who owns a studio. I have always had to be careful with what I say. I have had to be careful with what I say and how I say it, not to offend, because there are many people in power who have problems because I am in the position I am in.
How much work has your Atlanta studio generated?
only me He moved it to the army base of Fort McPherson And just last month, 25,000 cars came through the doors to work. When people come to work with me in my programs, a large majority of them are African-American, black and brown people who have never had an opportunity in this business. When he was 30 years old, he said: "How much can I earn?" Or "What can I do now?" Or "What can I do with number 1?" Now, at this age, with a child of almost 4 years, it's about the legacy and what I'm leaving and who I'm opening the doors of.
You shot "Nobody's Fool" in 10 days. How long did those days last?
They are only 12 hours a day. When movies are made, there are probably 20 or 30 people who are in the decision-making process of everything that happens. For me, I am that person. I write the script, I direct it, I have three cameras working, I have an incredible team. We have the shorthand, so everything comes together. If the actors can handle 15 pages a day in dialogue, I'm leaving.
Did you write the movie for Tiffany Haddish?
I specifically wrote the character for Tiffany Haddish. I feel that if Madea was 30 years old, that's why it's so easy for me to write for her, all I had to do was write to a young Madea and give her those words, she took them and ran with them.
Why end the Madea franchise?
I'm going to go into 50 with a completely new plan. It's just time I've had a great career There are other things I want to do and I've relied on it a little too much.
Does Madea die in the final movie?
She does not die But she has threatened to kill me.
