Tyler Perry doesn't have high hopes about Whoopi Goldberg's Sister Act 3. The original Sister Act was released in 1992, and it quickly earned a sequel in 1993's Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit. All movies follow Whoopi Goldberg's Deloris Van Cartier as she is forced to pretend to be a nun by a witness protection program. The original earned a massive $230 million on a budget of approximately $30 million. The sequel was less impressive, earning $125 million on a $38 million budget.
Unfortunately, Sister Act 3 's production has been comparatively slow. After nearly half a decade of development, Tyler Perry admits that the script is still being worked on. In an interview with ET, Perry explained that he is frustrated about the long production but that he and Goldberg are determined to see perfection. As soon as the script is done, Perry expects to see the production cycle speed up. Check out his quote below:
" 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. 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 make sure 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!"
