Good Morning! “Tyler Perry to direct ‘For Colored Girl’
I can’t see this film, to see what Tyler will do, because its a very detail and so many stories in one!
I say YES! there are so manny young girls out there black and white who don’t say anything at all about whats going on inside. But there is help out there. Teen lines,they are there to help with such problems as these.
they work i know i am one of those girls, But i pray every day that God will make my life better for me and my family so that i can be around to see my loved ones grow. TRUST ME I KNOW
So disappointed that of the choice in director. Tyler is great for what he does, but For Colored Girls deserves so much more.
Spike Lee…because he is a more “conscious” director and writer. I don’t doubt brother Tyler however Spike Lee would seem more ideal.
I don’t see this turning out well. I saw the play just last year and it is very complicated and has so many layers. I don’t feel he’s the best choice for this production. Maybe this is the film he’s been waiting for to really branch out, I don’t know. We shall see.
spike lee will be a better choice
I know that Tyler will do this play justice. Tyler is do gifted and led by God, so what he touches will be a success. When people have the blessings of God, they are already a sussess. I look forward to seeing what he will do with the movie. I know God will give him the words and story line to say to reach the many girls that need to see this play as a movie. The bood was great, so I know the movie will be just as good.
Congradulations to you Mr. Perry.
????? ? ???????? ???????? ????????? ?? ????? ??????… ? ?????? ?????????!
If anyone call pull this off……….it is Mr. Tyler Perry! I am sure Ntozake Shange is excited he will be directing the movie!

That said, Mr. Perry will HAVE TO do well – and CRAFT this FILM (it can’t be a MOVIE)… this classic is too important to be banged out..
