Tyler Perry's New Movie: The Family That Preys

Tyler Perry and Lions Gate Films have done it again! This time with a more diverse cast. The movie is titled "The Family That Preys", and it stars Alfre Woodard, Kathy Bates, Cole Hauser, Sanaa Lathan, Taraji Henson, Rockmond Dunbar, and Robin Givens. A brief synopsis of the movie:
Wealthy socialite Charlotte Cartwright (Kathy Bates) and her dear friend Alice Pratt (Alfre Woodard), a working class woman of high ideals, have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years. Suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Alice’s self-centered newlywed daughter Andrea (Sanaa Lathan) is betraying her trusting husband Chris (Rockmond Dunbar) by engaging in a torrid affair with her boss and mother’s best friend’s son William (Cole Hauser). While cheating on his wife Jillian (Kadee Strickland) with a string of ongoing dalliances with his mistress Andrea, William’s true focus is to replace the COO of his mother’s lucrative construction corporation. Meanwhile, Alice’s other daughter Pam (Taraji Henson), a kind but no nonsense woman married to a hard working construction worker (Tyler Perry), tries to steer the family in a more positive direction.
Sounds interesting! Maybe I'll actually go to the theater to see this one instead of waiting until it comes out on dvd. It's slated to be released in theaters in September 08.
