Tyler Perry announces ALL STAR CAST For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf

What A Cast!!!! WOW!! Shooting for the film is expected to take place in New York City this summer, and the film will hit theaters in late 2010 or early 2011. Earlier this year, Perry (and Janet Jackson) listed the names of the women attached to the movie, which at the time included Carey. "It's Janet, Mariah, Whoopi Goldberg, Phylicia Rashad, Jurnee Smollett, Kimberly Elise, Kerry Washington, Loretta Devine, Anika Noni Rose ... I don't want to forget anybody," Perry said. "It's pretty incredible."

"For Colored Girls ..." is based on a series of 20 poems about a woman who is identified with a single color of the rainbow. The stories deal with a wide spectrum of topics including love, abandonment, rape and abortion.
