Tyler Perry Didn't Like 'Prometheus' & Is Writing His Own Sci-Fi Movie; Viral Campaign For The Film
Well, if you've longed for the words Tyler Perry and "Prometheus" to appear in the same news story, today is your lucky day. It seems that Ridley Scott's sort of "Alien" world movie still has people talking, and opinions, as always, are fiercely divided. So leave it to Perry -- the man who has made cross-dressing into a money-making machine -- to weigh in with his own erudite thoughts on the film.
"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," he told Blackfilm (via Collider). There's no word on exactly what he didn't dig about the movie (there are a few things to choose from, certainly) but never fear, because dude is going to put his own stamp on the genre: "I’m actually working on a sci-fi movie right now…. I’m writing a sci-fi movie that I’m really excited about," he said, while declining to elaborate.
"Madea Goes To Space"? God we hope so. But in fairness to Perry, we suppose it is intriguing that he's doing something well outside his usual wheelhouse. But then again, "Alex Cross" looks like a disaster so maybe he shouldn't keep the wigs and floral print dresses too far behind.
In related "Prometheus" news, the viral campaign continues, with a recruitment video that tips off fans that they will be able to join the Weyland Corporation at Comic-Con. No word on exactly what this is (remember, the date of October 11, 2012 has already been teased for...something) but in a few weeks, we'll surely find out.

if i was a filmmaker who loved a genre and was continually disappointed by hollywood's output of that genre, i'd buck up and make my own damn movie too. get it, tyler.
such a waste of time/money
I saw Promethus yesterday and really liked it! The only issue i had was a lot of unanswered questions but im sure that was on purpose. Ive never sen an Alien movie so i dont have a frame of reference.Are fans of the original mad?
I love love love LOVE what he has done for black enterprise in America (despite the product being the absolute value of bullshit), but like MOST negroes, now he thinks he can do any and everything better than any other white person, and it just pisses me off.
Stick to what you know, and what makes you money, and stop trying to stretch yourself so thin in protest about your afrocentric views.
but hey Perry can do anything with his $$$
the fact that this movie wasn't called ALIENS: THE BEGINNING or something should tell idiots that maybe this ISN'T just an "alien prequel"
cause it's not. it's fucking great.
I really did enjoy Prometheus, BUT I just wasn't all that interested in the God question and I think a lot of that part wasn't well realized, but I guess with the guy from Lost writing it things like that are to be expected.
And I don't think they did that well fleshing out the characters except for maybe David. They were all just stock-types instead of seeming like actual people that you are supposed to care about.
And Noomi Rapace's voice-over at the end was SO corny. I can't.
