Eugene Levy, Romeo Miller and Denise Richards will star alongside Tyler Perry in the hit filmmaker’s latest film project, Madea’s Witness Protection. The movie, which begins shooting in Atlanta next week and again features Perry as the gun-toting, sassy-mouthed character, will be distributed by Lionsgate.



Levy will play a man who, after his investment company goes belly up due to embezzling, is put in witness protection with his family, which is forced to move from a wealthy Connecticut neighborhood to Madea’s home in the South.

Richards is set to play Levy’s wife.

Miller will play a man who believes Levy is responsible for his church’s investments being wiped out and wants to take the law into his own hands.





Also in the cast are:

Doris Roberts
Devan Leos
Tom Arnold
Danielle Campbell



Perry, who wrote the script and is directing, produces with Paul Hall and Ozzie Areu.

This will be the seventh film in Tyler Perry's Madea franchise and the first one to not be adapted from a stage production.

That's a odd cast for this movie. Hopefully it will be funny. LOL@picture of Denise Richards. She looks bad now. She used to be hot. I notice Tyler doesn't have that many blacks in this new Madea. JamesG, what black actors are gonna be in this? Some of the actors you named in this are white. I think Eugene Levy is corny. He tried talking black when he was in Bringing Down The House movie with Queen Latifah and Steve Martin. He said to Queen in one scene, you got me straight tripping boo LOL. I see rapper Master P's son Romeo is playing positive characters. He was in Jumping The Broom movie with hot black actress Paula Patton, Angela Bassett, Mike Epps, Laz Alonzo.

The full cast hasn't been announced yet.

There are reports that Marla Gibbs will be in it though.
