JACKSON JOINS PERRY FOR NEW PICTURE

Pop star JANET JACKSON is returning to the big screen and starring opposite TYLER PERRY in his next film WHY DID I GET MARRIED? The film is based on Perry's play of the same name, which he will be writing, directing and producing as a feature. The movie is the fourth in Perry's lucrative franchise which also includes DIARY OF A MAD BLACK WOMAN, MADEA'S FAMILY REUNION and DADDY'S LITTLE GIRLS. The film revolves around a couple who go away with friends every winter to examine their marriage in a group setting, with one of the wives bringing along a sexy temptress who causes trouble. Jackson was last seen on the big screen in 2000 in NUTTY PROFESSOR II: THE CLUMPS opposite EDDIE MURPHY. Filming is scheduled to start next week (05MAR07) in Canada and then moves to Atlanta, Georgia, where Perry recently opened his own studio.
