Producer and filmmakerTyler Perryhas declared that he is getting “a little annoyed” by the slow development of the long-awaited comedy sequel,Sister Act 3. Speaking withET, Perry revealed that script is still being worked on, with the producer and everyone else involved striving to do justice to the beloved original. However, it certainly sounds like it’s been a frustrating process for Perry…
“I’m a little annoyed with how long this has taken me. It’s taking so long, like I’ve done four movies since we started talking about this. When I’m outside producing with – you know, Disney’s a huge, wonderful company, but I really want to get this movie and Whoopi really wants to get this movie.”
While the slow process has been annoying for Perry, the actor and director is determined to get everything right when bringingWhoopi Goldberg back forSister Act 3.
“Well, just making sure we have the right writers, the right script, the right story, [and] all of those things are so important because it’s such an important, iconic film. We want to verify we do it justice and do it well, so we’re willing to wait for the right script. [We got] a great story we’re working on that Whoopi’s excited about, I’m excited about, the director’s excited about, [and] so Disney’s excited about. So we’re working on getting that done. Once that’s done, we’re rolling!”
