Atlanta movie mogul Tyler Perry is no stranger to having his name in lights. The actor-writer-producer and filmmaker has been making successful movies for most of the century, but his work habits are what separates him.
Perry recently shared a glimpse of his prolific productivity on social media. In a video he uploaded to his accounts, he shows TV show scripts for some of his current productions he’s filming.
What’s Tyler Perry Filming? All Of These Scripts
The camera pans to show “The Haves & Have Nots,” “The Oval,” and other series that he has on TV or streaming services.
“I don’t know if you know this but most shows on television have a writer’s room … I have no writer’s room, nobody writes any of my work. I write it all.”
Perry says “Why am I telling you this? I wrote all of these scripts by myself in 2019. What’s my point? WORK ETHIC!”

Everybody knows that acclaimed filmmaker Spike Lee is a product of Atlanta’s Morehouse College, the largest all-male African-American university in the nation. But who is the man and why is he of such importance to Atlanta and the film community?
Who Is Spike Lee?
Spike Lee is a legendary filmmaker, producer and screenwriter who has used his camera lens to highlight institutional racism, expose hypocrisy and celebrate the African-American experience.
Lee has also paved the way for other filmmakers of color to make films in America.
Where Was Spike Lee Born And Raised?
Lee has proudly said that he was born “Shelton Jackson Lee on March 20th in Grady Hospital” in 1957.
His father, Bill Lee, was an accomplished jazz musician who moved the family to New York shortly after Lee’s birth.
While he proudly reps Brooklyn’s Bed-Sty neighborhood, where he’s lived for most of his life, Lee was born in 1957 in the ATL. He told the New York Times, his family moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was a child (Lee was the oldest sibling of six). His family integrated an Italian-American enclave called Cobble Hill. “We got called nigger this and nigger that,” he told the Times.
At Morehouse, Lee was drawn to the big screen, taking film classes at Clark Atlant University. There he made his first film, Last Hustle in Brooklyn.
Once he graduated, he enrolled at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, earning a masters in film and TV. Lee quickly rose to fame with the 1985 release of “She’s Gotta Have it,” and then “Do the Right Thing” in 1989.
Lee has been known to create beautiful mosaics of Americana, but if you look closely you can see Atlanta in his filmmaking.
Lee’s ode to collegiate life, “School Daze,” was largely based on his time at Morehouse fraternizing with students at Spelman College, Clark Atlanta University and Morris Brown College.
In “Clockers,” Lee gave longtime Atlanta stage actor Tom Byrd, his shot at the big screen. Byrd played a crackhead, but came to personify the drug scourge that had plagued the black community.

Lee does not like “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” calling it *bs.”

Marvel fans woke up Friday to a delight of the senses: The new trailer for “Avengers: Infinity War” was released by Marvel. In all of their glory, you get to see the franchise’s newest super villian, Thanos, take on the likes of Captain America, Iron Man and the whole gang.
Fans of Black Panther will feel right at home as Thanos is seen in the clip laying waste to Wakanda. (Let’s hope it survives, it’s been slated for a part 2.) Along with Chadwick Boseman, we see his on-screen sister Shuri, who figures to play an important role, especially because she is the one who constructs Captain America’s shield out of Vibranium.
This latest movie in the Avengers franchise centers on Thanos (Josh Brolin) and his quest for the Infinity Stones, which has been hinted at (artfully in the post-credit scenes) since the first movie more than six years ago.
Because of fan anticipation, Marvel has moved up the release date of “Infinity War” to April 27.

One of the most revered horror cult comedy films of all time is having a showing in Atlanta in the coming days. “House” or more accurately, (ハウス “Hausu)” is a 1977 Japanese film of critical acclaim. On Thursday, it will play on the big screen at Atlanta’s oldest movie house, the Plaza Theater.
The movie, directed by eclectic filmmaker Nobuhiko Obayashi, centers on a schoolgirl who takes six of her classmates to her sick aunt’s rural home, where they each meet an untimely and supernatural death.
This is what Wiki says about the fear fest: “The film company Toho approached Obayashi with the suggestion to make a film like Jaws. Influenced by ideas from his daughter Chigumi, Obayashi developed ideas for a script that was written by Chiho Katsura. After the script was green-lit, the film was put on hold for two years as no director at Toho wanted to direct it. Obayashi promoted the film during this time period until the studio allowed him to direct it himself. The film was a box office hit in Japan but received negative reviews from critics. House received a wide release in 2009 and 2010 in North America, where it received more favorable reviews.”
“Hausu” is just the first in a series of cult films to be shown at the Plaza. Here are deets on the others. Get tix here.
