After singer Mariah Carey dropped out of his latest movie, an adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s 1975 play “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” less than a week before filming was to begin, director Tyler Perry had to cut short his vacation and find a replacement.
“I said, ‘What? You’re kidding me?,’ ” Perry writes in a lighthearted new letter to his fans. “It’s five days before she has to go to work; nobody does that. We have a deal.”
Jetting back to Atlanta where the movie is filming, he selected Thandie Newton to fill Carey’s role. (She will join Whoopi Goldberg, Kerry Washington and Janet Jackson in the cast.) Perry also discovered that the singer’s doctor was to blame for her sudden departure.
“I was told that we got a call, saying that even though our deal was done, she had been advised by her doctor not to do the film,” Perry writes. “I said, ‘What? You know I want a doctor’s note, don’t you? LOL.”
