Tyler Perry Is Creating A Safe Way To Reopen Atlanta Studios
Tyler Perry is known to be a genius when it comes to creativity. He is creating a interesting and safe way to reopen his Atlanta Studio.
All cast and crew will be tested on the first day. If tested negative, everyone would be invited on the lot where they will live for the entire production.
Tyler Perry isn’t jumping to reopen his 330-acre Atlanta studio complex, but we’ve learned he’s working on a really unique, interesting and safe way to shoot TV shows there during the coronavirus pandemic.
Studio sources tell TMZ, Tyler has a plan he’s currently running up the flagpole with his studio execs, and it goes like this. Productions that shoot at his facility would have the cast and crew check in on the first day of filming. Everyone would be tested, and everyone who tests negative would be invited on the lot, where they will live during the entire production.
As for where they’d live, well, there’s plenty of options. The facility used to be an army base, and there are 141 barracks on-site — all usable. There are also 40 historic houses that are habitable. In addition, Tyler built around 30 houses on the lot for various productions, and they’re all functional. And, we’re told if the idea takes off he’d erect some pre-fab hotels.
The cast and crew can use all the facilities, including a gym, a bar and restaurants. A hospital building was built for one of the shows, and we’re told Tyler believes it can become functional enough and he’s thinking of bringing a doctor and nurse on board.
We’re told Tyler would first reopen just with his productions — 6 tv shows strong. Each show takes about 2 1/2 weeks to film a season, so the cast and crew would show up and stay for just shy of 3 weeks. A few weeks later the same crew would return to shoot another season of another show, and so on. They’d also get extra pay for dealing with the circumstances.
Tyler has an idea that should make everyone that works for him feel safe and secure.
Maybe this production will be a pathway to all other productions on keeping cast and crew members safe.
