Through his 34th Street Films with Lionsgate, Tyler Perry will help finance the comedy ''We The Peeples.'
The film is written and will be directed by Tina Gordon Chism with the story centering around a young man enduring the weekend from hell when he surprises his girlfriend by showing up to meet her parents during the family's annual end of summer celebration.
Gordon Chism previously wrote the screenplays for 'Drumline' and 'ATL.'
Perry just finished his feature adaptation of 'For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf,' which hits theaters on January 14, 2011.
Along with Oprah Winfrey, Perry was an executive producer on 'Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire.'
Shooting on 'Peeples' begins in September.

EXACTLY....coz damn, I'm so sick of House of Payne and Meet The Brown's and all the rest of his predictable, same storyline a** movies, Thank God! And watch and see don't his cast members be filled with nothing but fine a** good-looking men as always to play various roles if anyone ever noticed everytime he comes out with a new movie or a sitcom...he definitely knows how to pick the finest men, hence his recently previously picked cast member, "The Old Spice" guy, among other men in the past. I wonder about Tyler sometimes.
