After a couple of years away from feature filmmaking to focus on TV, Tyler Perry will release a brand new Madea film titled “Boo! A Madea Halloween,” which will be distributed by Lionsgate this fall. A first full trailer for the upcoming film has been released today and is embedded below.
Tyler Perry of course writes, produces, directs, and stars in the latest project with the popular Madea character, which will see the matriarch up to her stockings in the middle of mayhem when she spends “a hilarious, haunted Halloween fending off killers, paranormal poltergeists, ghosts, ghouls, and zombies while keeping a watchful eye on a group of misbehaving teens.”
“Boo!” also stars Bella Thorne as Rain, Cassi Davis as Aunt Bam, Patrice Lovely as Hattie, Andre Hall as Quinton, Yousef Erakat as Jonathan, Lexy Panterra as Leah, Diamond White as Tiffany, Liza Koshy as Aday, Brock O’Hurn as Horse, Jimmy Tatro as Sean, JC Caylen as Mikey, Kian Lawley as Bean Boy, and Mike Tornabene as Dino.
“We are thrilled to reunite with the iconic Tyler Perry, one of the greatest creative forces in entertainment and a beloved and cherished member of our Lionsgate family,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Co-Chairs Rob Friedman and Patrick Wachsberger in a previous statement. “‘Boo! A Madea Halloween’ brings together two great Lionsgate traditions — Madea and a Halloween movie — and we know that audiences will find the combination outrageous, hilarious and unbeatable.”
Ozzie Areu and Will Areu are producers on the film, along with Perry.
An October 21, 2016 release date is set. Hey, it could be fun!! I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this is a big hit for Perry and Lionsgate.
