The self made empire of Tyler Perry rolls on with a motivational prison tale starring Keshia Knight Pulliam AKA Rudy Huxtable! We get wind of this news from the fabled caves of Yahoo:
Keshia Knight Pulliam will star as an imprisoned prostitute in “Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail.” Derek Luke also stars in the Lionsgate comedy, which is set to begin filming in Atlanta next month for a tentative early 2009 release. Writer-director Perry returns to the front of the camera as the irrepressible matriarch Madea, whose penchant for trouble-making lands her behind bars. She comes to the rescue of Candy (Pulliam), a fellow inmate preyed upon by a large woman. Luke will play an attorney who has a past with Candy.
Pulliam, 29, recently appeared in Perry’s TBS series “House of Payne” and is launching an Atlanta-based production company for film and television projects that she has in development. She played Bill Cosby’s lovable daughter Rudy Huxtable in NBC’s ratings smash “The Cosby Show.”
Tyler Perry’s films are outlandishly blatant in their motivational message, the films play like an after school special and are insanely popular. There’s a market for films that echo values people hold dear. For those that have no interest in the values, the films still can be enjoyable for the cheese factor and Tyler Perry’s ridiculous character Mabel Simmons. You either love these films or love to make fun of them, either way you will be entertained, and therein lies the genius.
I will see this one just to see Rudy Huxtable as an imprisoned hooker trying to fight off the advances of a “large woman”. This is a women in prison movie for fuck’s sake; a women in prison movie that teaches life lessons and instills values!?! This is sacred perverted ground; Tyler Perry has gone too far!
Of all the Tyler Perry films, this one has the most promise and I cannot wait to purchase this film on DVD.
