Perry Planning "A Madea Christmas"

Tyler Perry is casting his next film A Madea Christmas says THR



Chad Michael Murray, Larry the Cable Guy, Tika Sumpter and Kathy Najimy are joining Perry's famous alter ego getting coaxed into helping a friend pay her daughter a surprise visit in the country for Christmas. Their arrival, as the rural town prepares for its annual Christmas Carnival, prompts secrets to be revealed and old friendships tested. Madea will of course bring her special brand of spirit to all.

Murray will play the town bully, a redneck type who tries to control his wife and son.

Sumpter plays one of his son’s teachers, someone Murray dislikes, while Larry is the quirky patriarch of the white side of an interracial marriage.

Details for Najimy’s character were not revealed

Perry is directing, adapting his own play and producing the film with Ozzie Areu and Matt Moore.

Production will begin next week with a planned Dec. 13, 2013, release date.
