Filmmaker Tyler Perry is back in business with Lionsgate, as the studio has confirmed to TheWrap that it will distribute Perry's latest production, creatively titled "We the Peeples."
Tina Gordon Chism, the writer of "Drumline" and "ATL," is in final negotiations to direct from a script that she also wrote.
The story follows a young man who endures a hellish weekend when he decides to surprise his girlfriend by showing up to meet her parents during the family's annual end of summer celebration.
Perry will produce through his company 34th Street Films, whose Matt Moore will also produce alongside Tyler Perry Studios president Ozzie Areu, Paul Hall and Stephanie Allain.
