- Summary: Madea Goes to Jail / Tyler Perry: HRN-3111 Madea Goes to Jail Tyler Perry
- Description:04:11:10 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry whos making the decisions Madea, shes the loudest one speaking but uh Tyler Perry is pretty much making the decisions yeah. 04:11:32 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry But I write from a place of thinking about all of that. I think about you know I tell the story but Im think about ok Im on a budget here and ok I know which actors I want to try and hire for this so I I take it all in consideration as Im writing so I dont allow myself to just go 200 million dollar movie you know because the Producer in me would start screaming then yeah sure. 04:12:02 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry No it begins with sometimes Ill see scenes and Ill here characters talking in my head and Ill see, and Ill listen to what theyre trying to tell me. I know it sounds crazy but thats how write as an artist I listen to what theyre doin and how theyre doin it and pretty soon the message comes clear in what theyre trying to reveal to me. 04:12:26 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry Awesome I have a million messages on my message board and I, I would guarantee you a good 30% of them are people are saying this did this for me or this helped me out of this situation. And Lila ? in uh Grand Rapids Michigan had lost her son in Black Hawk Down and really, she lost her son in the Gulf, in The Gulf War in Iraq and she sent me a letter backstage saying that Madea has helped her to be able to get over it and its those kind of moments you know, soldiers sitting around computers watching my videos laughing in Iraq, are you kidding me? Its those kinds of things that let me know Im on the right track. 04:13:10 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry Yes, yes I have a role in Star Trek (talks) Yes its shot, its a small role, Im there in the beginning and Im there in the end and uh JJ Abrams called me up to do it and it was uh it was fantastic to be on someone elses set and I cant wait to see it. Im going to see it this week (Talks) Yeah I use that to learn, I use that to figure out how to be a director cause hes a fantastic director but just the amount of time I spent there the week that I was there, it was only a week, it was really great. They shot for three months I was only there a week. 04:13:50 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry That is true is true, its too much, its the wig and the hair and the makeup and this, the fat suit, its all too much. But as long as people want to see it Ill do it. (talks) yeah very rarely though because I try to shoot Madeas stuff out first and then I can get to the dramatic moments because I cant imagine having Derek Luke doing a dramatic scene and Im standing there in that costume you know. 04:14:15 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry Yes I am, she came to work, she and Taraji. Taraji was in The Family that Preys and theyre both nominated in the same category, I know they both cant win but Im very proud of both of them. 04:14:32 - Sound Bite: Tyler Perry Yes, yes you see him reading the script because hes a little lost in the scene but the improve, hes so good at improve that we just went back and fourth, it was really great (talks) I would love for him to yeah. If Robin has anything to say about it yes he will.
