In December, Perry released his latest film on the platform, The Six Triple Eight, which also became Perry's most-viewed title on the platform so far. Tyler Perry is a prolific director, whose credits also include acting, producing, and writing. The director is mostly known for the Madea franchise, a character that Perry used in several projects.

Coming off his latest film, The Six Triple Eight, Tyler Perry talks about the kinds of movies he does--and does not--want to make.

Netflix has released the official trailer for the upcoming movie The Six Triple Eight, in which Kerry Washington leads the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII.

The star-studded movie also features Oprah Winfrey, Sam Waterston, Susan Sarandon, and Dean Norris, along with rising stars like Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Jay Reeves, Jeffery Johnson, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Donna Biscoe, Gregg Sulkin, and Scott Daniel Johnson.

The Tyler Perry movie, which he wrote and directed, will be released in select theaters on December 6 ahead of a streaming release on December 20.

The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Despite facing racism and sexism – and grueling working conditions – they were committed to serving their country with honor and distinction.

H.E.R. has released the music video for her Diane Warren-written song “The Journey” from the upcoming Netflix film The Six Triple Eight, about the only all-Black, all-female battalion in World War II.

The nearly four-and-a-half-minute music video, which The Hollywood Reporter is debuting exclusively, features H.E.R. performing the song in concert intercut with clips of the upcoming film.

Warren has been nominated for 15 best original song Oscars, but she has yet to win the award. No woman in Oscars history has received more noms in any category without winning. However, she has received an honorary Oscar.

H.E.R. won the best original song Oscar in 2021 for “Fight for You” from Judas and the Black Messiah and has won five Grammys.

Speaking about “The Journey” and its connection to the film — the veteran songwriter who has worked with such luminaries as Celine Dion, Cher, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston,...

Writer/director Tyler Perry’s The Six Triple Eight just unveiled a full trailer ahead of its December 6, 2024 limited theatrical release. The film tells the inspirational story of the only Women’s Army Corps unit of color in WWII who were given the seemingly impossible task of getting hundreds of thousands of letters to the troops from their families at home.

“Ladies, we have been ordered to provide hope. The soldiers have not heard from their loved ones, and their loved ones have not heard from them,” says Major Charity Adams (played by Kerry Washington) in the trailer. “When there is no mail, there is low morale.”

In addition to Kerry Washington, the cast includes Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, and Moriah Brown. Jeanté Godlock, Jay Reeves, Jeffery Johnson, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Donna Biscoe, Gregg Sulkin, Scott Daniel Johnson, Susan Sarandon, Dean Norris, Sam Waterston,...

Netflix ha publicado un nuevo tráiler de Seis Triple Ocho, la película escrita y dirigida por Tyler Perry (Diario de una chiflada), que narra la motivadora historia real de las increíblemente valientes mujeres del primer y único cuerpo del Ejército de Estados Unidos integrado exclusivamente por mujeres negras que sirvió en el extranjero en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Seis Triple Ocho sigue a estas valientes que se enfrentaron al sexismo y la discriminación, a un entorno desconocido y un país asolado por la guerra, pero se mantuvieron firmes y ordenaron más de 17 millones de cartas en solo 3 meses, gracias a lo cual los soldados estadounidenses pudieron retomar el contacto con sus familiares y seres queridos.

Kerry Washington as an army captain delivers a rousing speech to the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to battle overseas during the Second World War in the teaser trailer (below) for Netflix’s The Six Triple Eight from writer, director and producer Tyler Perry.

“This is our mission. And we will not fail,” Major Charity Adams (Washington) declares quayside as the 855 Black women and women of color of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion march forward at her command to board a ship taking them to battle.

Their mission was to sort through a three-year backlog of mail — 17 million letters in all — yet to be delivered to American soldiers overseas, to restore morale on the front lines.

The Netflix biopic is part of an effort to give the 6888th battalion belated recognition for their heroism as they overcame discrimination to complete their letter-posting duties well ahead of schedule.

While Tyler Perry is not usually known for historical dramas, he tries his hand at spotlighting a lesser-known element of World War II. His upcoming film, The Six Triple Eight, is inspired by the first and only Women’s Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in WWII. Given an extraordinary mission and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers. The movie stars Kerry Washington, Ebony Obsidian, Milauna Jackson, Kylie Jefferson, Shanice Shantay, Sarah Jeffery, Pepi Sonuga, Moriah Brown, Jeanté Godlock, Jay Reeves, Jeffery Johnson, Baadja-Lyne Odums, Donna Biscoe, Gregg Sulkin, Scott Daniel Johnson, Susan Sarandon, with Dean Norris, and Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey. Netflix has just dropped the teaser trailer online.

Ruthless season 5 part 1 ended in September 2024 and now fans are anxious about when the next installment of the drama series will air. Created by Tyler Perry of the Madea movie franchise, Ruthless is a spinoff of another Perry series, The Oval. Ruthless is a much more harrowing tale, following the cult known as the Rakudushi. In the beginning of the series, Ruth Truesdale (Melissa L. Williams), an ardent follower, kidnaps her own daughter for the Rakudushi. However, after suffering a ritual sexual assault, Ruth makes plans to leave the cult with anyone else she can convince.

The series first premiered in May 2020, and there have been four more seasons since. Each season of Ruthless is broken up into two parts, with some parts coming months after the first part. Season 5 part 1 premiered in August 2024 with eight episodes and now season 5 part 2 is expected to tie up all the loose strands of the show.

The Tyler Perry series, Ruthless, includes a cast of talented actors, some of whom have been in Perry productions before and others new to the universe. Tyler Perry, creator of the Madea franchise of movies as well as many more TV shows and films, created Ruthless as a spinoff of The Oval, a BET political drama about the U.S. President and his family. Ruthless takes a much darker turn, starring Melissa Williams as Ruth Truesdale, a member of the dangerous and sexually exploitative Rakudushi cult.

When Ruth's daughter is also brought into the cult, Ruth comes to realize how awful it is and plans her escape. Premiering in March 2020, Ruthless has been on for five seasons and the show once again proves that Tyler Perry doesn't need Madea to create a watchable program. It's one of the more fantastical and overtly hair-raising Tyler Perry productions and the ensemble cast...

“I am giving you my best and you will give me yours,” she adds. “A lot of people do not want us to succeed. We have the most to prove. Welcome to the Women’s Army Corps.”

Exclusive: Director Eddie Alcazar has signed with CAA.

Alcazar made his feature film debut with the 2018 sci-fi thriller Perfect from Alcazar’s Brainfeeder Films, a collaboration with music producer Flying Lotus. The project was executive produced by Steven Soderbergh, who will serve in the same role in Alcazar’s second feature Divinity starring Stephen Dorff, Moises Arias, Jason Genao, Karrueche Tran, and Mike O’Hearn.

His stop-motion, short film collaboration with Darren Aronofsky titled The Vandal was recently acquired by New Yorker Studios.

It stars Bill Duke in the role of Harold, a man who undergoes a lobotomy and is suffering from traumatic memory loss as a result. As his memories continue to fade and his search for peace is interrupted, the character becomes desperate.

The Vandal—set in a world not unlike mid-20th century America—also stars Baadja-Lyne Odums, Harry Goaz, Maurice Compte, Thomas Hildreth, and Abbey Lee.

Exclusive: New Yorker Studios will release the Eddie Alcazar and Darren Aronofsky short film The Vandal on Dec. 13 across The New Yorker’s digital platforms as part of its “Screening Room” series.

For The Vandal—set in a world not unlike mid-20th century America—Alcazar dives into the mind of a man named Harold (Bill Duke) who undergoes a lobotomy and is suffering from traumatic memory loss as a result. As his memories continue to fade and his search for peace is interrupted, the character becomes desperate.

Baadja-Lyne Odums, Harry Goaz, Maurice Compte, Thomas Hildreth, and Abbey Lee costarred.

“Very happy to finally show the world what we have created with The Vandal and our state-of-the-art Metascope technique,” Alcazar told Deadline exclusively in a statement. “Working with The New Yorker will give the film a strong platform so that many people across the world will be able to experience its universal feelings and themes.

Filmmaker/producer Steven Soderbergh is on board to executive produce a feature-length adaptation of buzzy Directors’ Fortnight short film “The Vandal,” Variety can reveal.

Directed by American helmer Eddie Alcazar, the Quinzaine-premiering film — which is presented by filmmaker/producer Darren Aronofsky — is being tipped as an early contender for the best animated short Oscar. It stars Bill Duke and uses both stop-motion animation and live action in a unique process. Alcazar coins it “meta-scope,” a visual technique where “the closer you get to a subject, the more real it becomes,” he explains.

Set in a world not unlike mid-20th century America, Duke stars in the film as Harold, whose tormented search for peace from traumatic loss results in an unexpectedly destructive awakening after he undergoes a lobotomy. When the procedure “turns his mind inside out” and his great love is suddenly gone, Harold’s search intensifies.
