Tyler Perry Sets Drama ‘Joy Ridge’ at Amazon MGM Studios, Starring Shannon Thornton and Tosin Morohunfola (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comAngelique Jackson Tyler Perry has wrapped production on the third movie in his four-picture deal with Amazon MGM Studios, a drama led by “P-Valley” and “Mea Culpa” star Shannon Thornton and “Run The World’s” Tosin Morohunfola.
Perry wrote, directed and produced the film, which recently wrapped filming on location in Colorado and at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta under the working title “Joy Ridge.” “Amidst the picturesque landscapes of Colorado, Joy (Thornton) finds herself on a holiday trip with a man she envisions as ‘the one,” the film’s official logline reads. “However, her journey takes an enchanting turn as she stumbles upon someone who might just redefine her notions about the life she once knew back home.” Tyler Perry Studios executives Angi Bones and Will Areu produced the film alongside Perry, who has now announced three of the movies in the four-picture deal he inked with Amazon in November 2022.
Last June, Perry revealed the first two films: “Black, White & Blue,” a drama set amid the aftermath of an incident of police brutality, starring Meagan Tandy, Kat Graham and Tyler Lepley; and “Divorce in the Black,” which is led by Meagan Good and focuses on a broken marriage.
The movie marks a reunion for Perry and Thornton, who played a supporting role in his latest hit movie, the Netflix thriller “Mea Culpa,” starring Kelly Rowland and Trevante Rhodes.
