Tyler Perry has signed on for films No. 6 and 7 under his expansive deal with Lionsgate.
The filmmaker will direct and star as wisecracking, gun-toting grandma Madea again in a big screen version of his popular stage play "Madea Goes to Jail," and he'll also write, direct and star in his new original screenplay, "The Family That Preys Together."
"An artist couldn't ask for a better home than Lionsgate; they're respectful, supportive and loyal to a fault," said Perry. "They've given me room to tell the stories I want to tell, the way I want to tell them. And I'm gratified and humbled that audiences have responded with such enthusiasm and love."
The two films come on the heels of his latest box office success, "Why Did I Get Married," which starred Janet Jackson among the ensemble cast and debuted at No. 1 last month.
Perry's next film, an adaptation of his stage play "Meet the Browns," will arrive in theaters on March 21 starring Perry and actress Angela Bassett.
