Tyler Perry has expressed his frustration in recent times over the prolonged process of bringing Sister Act 3 to the big screen.
Together with co-producer, Whoopi Goldberg, he has been eagerly anticipating the right time to activate the process, which was initially announced by Disney in late 2020.
The 54-year-old actor and filmmaker, in a conversation with Entertainment Tonight, revealed that he is impatient about how slow the development of the film is.
“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,” Perry shared.
Notwithstanding his frustration, Perry emphasized his and Goldberg’s unwavering commitment to making the movie a reality.
