Bishop T.D. Jakes & Media Mogul Tyler Perry Plan to Buy 132 Acres of Georgia’s Fort McPherson…

Hello World,

Bishop T.D. Jakes & media mogul Tyler Perry will continue to expand their respective empires as they plan to buy 132 acres of former Army base Fort McPherson, which is located in metro Atlanta! Although both men are buying property in the same area, it’s not a joint project according to what I’ve read. See an excerpt of the Atlanta Business Chronicle article by Byron E. Small below.

Atlanta film mogul Tyler Perry and religious leader, author and film maker T.D. Jakes have reached a deal to buy a total of 132 acres at the former Fort McPherson.

The Fort Mac Local Redevelopment Authority board today voted unanimously to accept a proposal from Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry Studios to purchase another 37.5 acres of the existing Fort McPherson property, according to an announcement.

The board also approved the sale of 94.5 acres for future development to the T.D. Jakes Real Estate Ventures group. The Fort McPherson LRA in March said it had begun negotiations with Jakes.

The parcel being acquired by Perry sits on the south side of the existing Fort McPherson LRA property between Tyler Perry Studios current entrance and Lee St.

Following the successful partnership of Lifetime with Bishop T.D. Jakes with Faith Under Fire and I Am Somebody’s Child, Lifetime reteams with the Bishop for two movies –Lust: A Deadly Sins Story  and Envy: A Deadly Sins Story  – based on two books from the Seven Deadly Sins anthology by Victoria Christopher Murray, my sorority sister of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated!!!

The first of the Seven Deadly Sins book series, this movie is a grounded morality tale that explores the power of lust, but at what cost? Tiffanie Cooper (Keri Hilson) is about to have the wedding of her dreams to her soul mate, the dashing Damon King (Tobias Truvillion), founder of King Enterprises.  But when Damon’s old friend Trey Taylor (Durrell ‘Tank’ Babbs) arrives, fresh from prison to step in as Damon’s best man, Tiffanie’s whole world gets rocked.  Sexy and mysterious, Trey triggers a passion in Tiffanie that she never expected, and suddenly the life she’s always planned with Damon is uncertain.  But Trey still carries wounds from his history with Damon, and his intentions toward both Tiffanie and Damon are not to be trusted.
