SHE'S BACK: Tyler Perry Releases "Madea's Witness Protection" Trailer

Apr 17 | by Natasha

Madea is back...and in the government's hands. Tyler Perry just premiered the first trailer for his upcoming flick Madea's Witness Protection. Check it under the cut...

Director Tyler Perry assembled a comedic cast, including himself, for his second of his 3 films releasing in 2012--Eugene Levy (seen in clip), Denise Richards, Romeo Miller, Tom Arnold, Marla Gibbs, John Amos and more.

Good Deeds was released this past February, while Alex Cross will premiere this fall.

The film's official synopsis:

Comic legend Eugene Levy (the AMERICAN PIE franchise, BEST IN SHOW) stars in the film as George, a high level CFO at the center of a Ponzi scheme in New York City who is enrolled in the Witness Protection program along with his family in the one place that absolutely no one will think to look for them: Madea's house down South.

Check out the first trailer revealing a tipsy Madea on a plane on her way to the government's witness protection:

Madea's Witness Protection hits theaters June 29th. Will you be hitting the theaters?

If you peope have a problem

If you peope have a problem with Madea's movies, simply dont watch them. Keep your negative comments to yourself. I myself think that all the Madea movies are awesome! I always laugh, and enjoy them. Probably more than any other movies. They always have great storyline with them also. Always make you think about how much more you could do, to be better to family, friends, or anyone for that matter. I think Tyler has done a wonderful job. Doesnt matter if your are white, black, green, or yellow, Madea is the greatest. All these negative, and racial comments, just make me sick. People need to grow up!! PLEASE!! Keep up the good work Tyler, and please pay no attention to ignorant people that have nothing else better to do than get on here and show just how selfish they are. Im glad your mother asked you to keep doing these movies. Because I'm sure she knew better than anyone that, you make people laugh, and laughter is good for the soul. I hope to see more Madea!! Thank you, from a BIG Fan!!

He was going to stop making

He was going to stop making these movies but before his mom died she asked him to keep doing them. Sorry that he is honoring his moms wish. If you don't like what he's doing just don't go see. Simple as that. God still going to bless him whether he has your support or not. And by the way medea movies aren't the only movies he makes.

Whether you like his movies

Whether you like his movies or not his production company employs minority actors and staff, so I watch his movies and support him for that reason alone. If he wants to jump in dresses to entertain us, so what. He is not the first black comedian to do it and he wont be the last. Martin Lawrence was Shaneneh and his Mother, plus he did Big Momma. Eddie Murphy was several women in Nutty Professor and Norbit. Jamie Fox was that blond ugly girl Wanda. There are countless dude in dress over the years on SNL and Flip Wilson used to play Geraldine. So lay off TP for the cross dressing thing.

Why does someone have to be

Why does someone have to be "hating"because you dont agree with something a celeb does. NO! Its not cute and funny for a grown ass man to be putting on a dress and acting like a woman. All yall so called christians would not be having it if a 6 foot something man walked into your church dressed in old lady drag the congregation would be up in arms....HES A SAMBO! Like all the other sambos before and after him....these black actors and comedians need to stop demasculating themselfs for $$....

Honey #getyourlife and #have

Honey #getyourlife and #have 2 seats _/ _/ Clearly you are not a lover of COMEDY MOVIES and ARTISTIC EXPRESSION. As for the small screen-->Sweetheart, this is done every week on SNL. Has been done on that SNL for years. It was also done on similar shows like MadTv, In Living Color, AllThat. Hell its been done on the BIG SCREEN for years by comics. Even before movies and television, men dressing as women on stage dates back to Shakespeare sweetie. So lets not act like comics have not been doing this before. And as another commenter said Eddie Murphy did it as wells. If I remember correctly, people said he was genius for doing it. (Remember he played every family member sitting at the dinner table. Something that had never been done in movies). Steve Martin even took a stab at it along with numerous other comics of all races. So YES, some people like you may not like it. BUT don't act like this is the first time its been done in acting and comedy. However, I do believe its the first time in movie history that a black has had total control over his entire enterprise from the GROUND UP. And WE ALL should applaud his efforts. Now #carryon.

"people" said slavery is right, ....u need to take a seat and up ur hand down because no one asked u.....I love comedy....I dont like stupidity....so...if i dont think Tyler Perry is funny why does that make me the problem....y do I as a grown ass adult with kids have to like this man walking around in a dress because hes cracking some lame ass jokes?? U sound like a idiot...I dont care what "people" say or think....y is their opinion important to me? I dont care what SNL, MAD TV, In Living color did, does, or continue to do....Get off the bandwagon and off tyler perry penis....every comedy doesn't have to have a man in drag to make it funny or to be comedic genius.... ive probably seen more movies than you ever have....i just dont subject myself to every piece of garbage movie because tyler perrys name is stamped on it, im supposed to subject myself to buffoonery and stereotypes because hes a black millionaire??. Dave chappele....(who wore a dress) said CLEARLY there is a problem in Hollywood where black actors have to put dresses on to get roles..... #getyourlife #getyourownidenity

Eddie Murphy's career was

Eddie Murphy's career was STALLED after Norbit, he's never received so much negative flack from any single role he has ever done. Besides, neither he nor Robin Williams made a NAME for themselves playing women. They've done other things well. Tyler Perry continuing to trot this out is getting trite. I think the movie companies are even less likely to make "Black films" of quality because they know they can to TP's cheap ATL studio, spend next to nothing for distribution, and count on a $17 million opening day. So, why bother doing anything else when you're guaranteed to make your investment back with the lowest form of comedy?

I will be supporting this

I will be supporting this movie this summer. Yes, Tyler Perry's films are NOT Academy Award (Oscars) worthy but they are entertaining. I believe that the issue amongst the African American (black) community is that since there are like one black film versus 50 predominately Caucausian films produced every year. We want it all (drama, comedy, action, adventure, crime, and fantasy) but there are not enough African American (black) screenwriters. My brothers and sisters let's write and change Hollywood forever. : )

Total fabrication on your

Total fabrication on your part. There are plenty of black screenwriters. Plenty. They just don't get the same opportunities as their white counterparts. That is why it is up to black directors such as Tyler Perry, Spike Lee, John Singleton, etc. to seek out and employ more black screenwriters. The problem even exists on the small screen. Go look up how many of the screenwriters for that horrible "The Game" are actually black. It's beyond surprising considering the creators, directors and head of programming for that God awful BET are all allegedly black.
