Is this the Poster for Tyler Perry's; For Colored Girls


I'm sure you've heard by now the classic play is up for a Tyler Perry make-over. The purist are up in arms and afraid TP will put a Madea spin on it and lead many a young lady to the ledge. But you have to remember he had a very gentle hand in the promoting of Precious and according to the Academy of Arts & Sciences it was an Oscar nod worthy production. So he has history with keeping things as they were. But the fact of the matter is this is not (yet) the poster or even the teaser poster for the new movie.

A brilliant artist by the name of Tatyana Fazlalizdeh put paint to canvas, imagination to artistry & will to power to create her own vision version of how lovely the poster could be. We think it should be the poster for the movie. After all there is about one very actively working movie poster designer who happens to be black. Here's a chance to launch this greattalent onto a bigger brighter stage. What do you think Tyler Perry? can we give the Sister a shot?

See the interview with Ms. Fazlalizadeh below

Tyler Perry didn't make "Precious". He helped promote an independent film that he saw as a finished work at a film festival.

This is a beautiful image. I love that you can see the canvas...it feels real and honest. I hope they give her a shot!

I like how you can see emotion in the woman's face. It will be interesting to see if Tyler Perry does this play justice. I don't think Madea belongs in this picture.

The artwork is definitely official. The treatment works well and reminds me of the feel of the original poster.

Many of Tyler Perry's detractors can get a little bit overboard. I've read critiques that attacks his sexuality but not his overall product. This film has been attacked well before it began filming. Don't get me wrong, no one wants Perry to put his palatable spin on a complex piece but let's give the guy the benefit of the doubt. Yes, in many of films he runs with some tired cliches and stereotypical one-dimensional characters but that obviously entertains many fans so he will more than likely stick with the money makers. Can he produce art, something truly meaningful . . . time will tell.

Let's hope so Vee, let's hope so. I have faith.
