Keshia Knight Pulliam, best known as little Rudy off The Cosby Show, will be in the next film coming from Tyler Perry – Madea Goes To Jail. The Hollywood Reporter reports:
Keshia Knight Pulliam will star as an imprisoned prostitute in “Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail.” Derek Luke also stars, along with Tamela Mann and David Mann.
The Lionsgate comedy centers on Madea (Perry), whose penchant for trouble-making lands her behind bars. She comes to the rescue of Candy (Pulliam), a fellow inmate preyed upon by a large woman named Big Sal. Luke is on track to play Joshua, an attorney who has a past with Candy.
I still have to get use to Keshia not playing the innocent role in Beauty Shop. Tyler, on the other hand is making bIg moves – this is the second film he is working on this year along with The Family That Preys – which already has an all star cast including Sanaa Lathan, Robin Givens, and Jennifer Hudson…

Thandie Newton has been selected to play The Secretary Of The State, Condoleezza Rice in the upcoming Oliver Stone flick W. Blackfilm reports and tells more about the premise of the film:
Oliver Stone has found the actress to play Condoleezza Rice in his upcoming “W,” with Thandie Newton in final negotiations to star as the National Security Advisor-turned-Secretary of State.
The movie will look at Bush’s formative years and path to the president as well as his life inside the White House.
As one of the few cabinet members to serve during both Bush terms, Rice’s role in the Bush White House is seen as pivotal. According to those who’ve read the “W” script, Rice is said to be in a key first scene as well as a number of scenes connected to the Iraq war. READ MORE
Tatum Channing is one sexy white boy!
Rudy? As a prostitute? I think that is a stretch…
i know right he just 2 sexy and like u said the gurl who played rudy a prostitute really.wowwwwwwwwwww
Marlon in a serious role….. I can’t imagine it without him yelling out “‘What you say bout my mama?”
I can’t wait until that Madea movie comes out.
Wow Marlon looks cute.
*sigh* I love me some Channing Tatum … Wooo … and of course I can’t wait for the new Tyler Perry movie. He never disappoints.
How many more plays does Tyler Perry have left to make out of motion pictures??? I think Madea’s Class Reunion is all that is left…I still haven’t seen all the plays
Good to see Marlon about to do a serious role…I’m sure it ain’t Oscar serious and there will be some humor in it but yooooooooou know
Rudy would be killin the game if she put herself out there.
And that white boy from Step Up is so fine!!!
I hope Keisha’s acting has improved… she was amazing as Rudy… and Polly… but everything after that……. eh.
Madea needs to go to HELL and stop making all these shitty ass movies! That meet the browns was the worst of the bunch. He needs to do more movies like Why did I get Married and Give Madea a rest.
dont do madea boo she can keep on doing them movies they are so good
And that looks nothing like the GI Joe I remember.
T Tyler don’t stop ! I respect his hustle man..
———>”Madea needs to go to HELL and stop making all these shitty ass movies!”
I am sooooooo watching G.I Joe 
———————————————————————————————————————
———-LOL!
————–Marlon whoohoo!
———- Thandie, I hope this movie works out for her.
Marlon played in some movie I can’t remember the name of, but it was a serious role and he played a drug addict. He was damn good! I was impressed.
Marlon is starting to look like Keenan- hairline and all lol but I really can’t wait for this
They need a He-man movie lol
Tyler Perry is really doing too much. All these back to back movies is not the business. The public starts to get tired of something real quick if they get too much of it.
Television shows being turned into movies is tired too. I do wanna see G.I. Joe though…
Channing Tatum- DAMN!!!!!! yummy yummy
Cl are late with the thandie thing, its like a week old already
Can’t wait to see Madea goes to jail and the play is funny. I hope that Keisha and Derek do a great job with this movie. The G.I. Joe should be good also.
Don’t know about Thandie playing Condi in the movie.
ole tyler is going for quantity and not quality–so evident with meet the browns–complete buffoonery at its best.
Keshia really needs to step her game up. First she was a fast ass in Beauty Shop and now she’s a prostitute. Hollywood is really hitting black actresses hard huh? Getting typecast as another hot female is so not the biz. I’d like to see do something more positive and less stereotypical. She can’t be hurting for money. I know the royalties from Cos are killer.
keyshia acting as a prostitute…hmmm don’t knio bout that,i couldnt stand her “bad girl” part in beauty shop, somthing was just off…ugh!!!!
i hope this one is better than meet the browns…i wanted my money back after that one
but then again..the play version of madea goes to jail wasn’t that great…idk we’ll see…please tyler, give us that good stuff!!!
Ok, I think its time for Tyler Perry to stop with all these prositiutes on film. You can’t remake every play! “Why Did I Get Married” was a great movie though!
When MSN ran an op-ed piece about the lack of quality in Tyler Perry movies a lot of Black (and some non-Black) people went bonkers. Similarly, when my local paper did a movie review and the White critic panned his movie (whichever one came before “…Get Married”) a lot of people cried racism. When his stage plays came to town several years ago I saw every one. But I have personally never seen a Tyler Perry movie. That’s because to me it seems like it would be a recycled waste of time. His stage plays were so lively and improvised that anything poorly crafted (like a Hollywood movie) would pale in comparison.
I understand that White producers make shitty movies and bank all day long. But just like with the whole ‘all Blacks who act shameful don’t represent each other’ argument, it stands to reason that Whites can afford to be whatever they want because there is mass representation for them. For us, it’s either a gangster flick, a buffoonish comedy shtick or love triangle. We’re so limited in the roles we create for ourselves that it doesn’t make sense to keep feeding into the stereotypes. I’m not saying he shouldn’t make money. I’m saying that now that he’s in the game, switch it up, bring a new formula to the table, expand your craft and artistry and stop acting like all Black folks want to do is laugh. We have may painful examples from the past and present that can and should be represented on screen. Do you Tyler. But, for me, I’ll take substance over style any day.
more Tyler Perry coonery… GREAT.
I don’t get the fascination of a guy dressing up as a big ass women.Oh well.Hmmmm Marlon love his work!
woman*
I’m sorry Tianna, but Rudy was anything BUT innocent in Beauty Shop. And her acting left a lot to be desired. We’ll just have to see if she steps up her game in this movie. Hope so.
I cant wait for Madea goes to jail H.I.L.L.A.R.I.O.U.S,
cool, I can’t wait to see this new G.I. movie seems like it will at least be somewhat worth it. And Madea Goes to Jail, I know that will be funny b/c Tyler Perry will be in the movie.
Tyler Perry makes some great movies that speak to the soul. He’s good on the family issues and issues that plague the black community.
If Condie Rice looked as good as Thandie Newton she’d have a damn man.
I dont care whose in Madea goes to Jail. I been waiting on Tyler to make that play into a movie. And please, please, please have the fine men in this movie as in the play. I will see it 3 times seriously. LOL!
“Madea Goes to Jail” is my ish. Can’t wait to go out and support that film.
@ Clarkthink-I give Condoleelza Rice the bizness everynight
@J. Lewis…… I wouldn’t kick her out of bed myself

R U SERIOUS TO ME RIGHT NOW? that was like my favorite of ALL the plays!
i dont know about thandie playing condeleeza rice. in my opinion she is not a strong enough actress. they should have gotten kimberly elise. she would have been perfect!
@12 – Requiem for a Dream – excellent film.
Tyler Perry is definitely tsying on his hustle, and he’s keeping the brothers and sisters working…. that’s a wonderful thing.
I’m glad to see Marlon Wayans expand his roles, you can’t play the comic role forever. He’s a talented brother – let him showcase his diversity.
@ #12 – Reecy
*****Marlon played in some movie I can’t remember the name of, but it was a serious role and he played a drug addict. He was damn good! I was impressed.
He played in an independent film called REQUIEM FOR A DREAM with Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly, It was nominated for an academy award (I watched it for school) and yes he played a serious role and did a VERY good job, I think his best role. That movie was depressing, but very well crafted, DON’T DO DRUGS!!!

MARLON HAS LOST HIS CUTE-APPEAL LOL I USE TO THINK HE WAS SO CUTE ON WAYANS BROTHERS
@ Clarkthink-she got that bomb “anthrax” and she know how to throw it back…byaaaaaah
These movies seems like something I would want to see.
damn both Tanning and Marlon are lookin quite nice. I wonder how the film is going to be any good?
Thandie is a good choice to play Condoleezza
= Yea for Marlon! He’s the most talented Wayans when it comes to acting and being NATURALLY funny!
= Thandie as Condoleeza? They’ll probably give Thandie some fake teeth that resemble Condoleeze’s. Real talk! That’s the only way Thandie will pull of looking like her. And a darker shade of make-up.
= I’m so tired of Keshia trying to desperately hard to shake the “Rudy” image. First it was the spread in black mens magazine and the Chingy video. And then the skank role she had in “Beauty Shop”. Now a prostitute! She could be her own worst enemy by doing this. If she only realized that if she played a serious role well enough that she would be taken seriously. You don’t have to go so far left with your image in order for people to see you in a new light.
Channing Tatum is a cutie! I need to get Step Up moved up in my Netflix queue .

#1 No honey, Thandie as Condeleezza is a stretch…… That’s probably the best news Condi has heard all year.
It’s funny you have a post about upcoming movies.I took a long lunch to hit a few at a driving range with a friend,because an 80 degree day in Cleveland at this time of the year is rare,when another friend told us that they were filming Jamie Fox’s new bio-pic here today.They had the old cars and clothes from the fifties and everything,it gave me a better understanding of how much money it takes to make a movie,because they were here all day filming and they are only going to use ten minutes of what they shot.
I’d like to see Marlon in another role like the one he played in ‘Requiem For a Dream.’ That was the best movie/role he’s ever played.
Tyler Perry movies and plays are degrading to the black race, as is BET, and I refuse to support him.
Thandie Newton is GORGEOUS… I wonder if they will make her wear prosthetics to ugly her up enough to look like Condee.
Conde needs a perm and a good ceramic flat iron like yesterday
I can’t picture Keisha as anyone but little Rudy
Can’t wait to see G.I. Joe, Channing Tatum is sexy
THANDIE TO PLAY CONDOLEEZZA= LOL UNCANNY RESEMBELANCE
Thanie Newton playing Condi.. Wha??? Who are they going to have play GW.. Brad Pitt?
marlon apart of g.i. joe?!?! word?!?! can’t wait for thhat outcome. i love him! anyone ever see requiem for a dream (that’s the movie you were talkin about #38)? if not, pleeaaaaase go rent it, buy it, borrow it…
tyler perry. ummmmmmm, i don’t know. i guess i’m excited for it.
I didnt like Meet the Browns that much, it was definately my least favorite of all the Tyler Perry’s movies I have seen. So I hope he comes a little better with this movie. However I am kind of wishing for him to switch it up a little bit. Have like a real no good woman or something like that lol
Chatum my goodness…..Marlon….my boo!
Marlon looking good.
How many of these is he going to make?
Geesh!
People can say what they want about Tyler Perry, but I love the fact that he’s consistently employing black actors and giving them major roles. Which other directors rarely do. Sanaa, Nia, and Gabrielle were saying in Essence a while back how hard it was for them to find consistent acting work. That’s sad.
It’ll interesting to see how the plot of the Condi film will turn out because Condoleeza is such a private person.
@ #29 LMBAO! Ha Ha …You are right!
Alright Ms. Keyshia, You gone have to show us whacha got! I have enjoyed Perry’s movies and I don’t want you to ruin that for me.
2 Tp movies under construction already? Damn tyler!
Tyler Perry don’t stop keep doing what your doing, I love all his movies and plays. That’s a shame when people on here have to criticize what he’s doing. All black cast at least he’s trying ya’ll don’t knock his hustle. It’s always someone out there to hate instead of giving TP props he deserves.
