In 2019, Tyler Perry celebrated the opening of his film studio in Atlanta with a star-studded party, showcasing the best of black Hollywood.

The studio, built on the grounds of a former Confederate army base, has been a symbol of transformation and progress.

However, Perry recently announced that his plans for expanding the studio have been put on hold due to concerns about AI technology.

Tyler Perry Studios

Tyler Perry Studios, located on 330 acres at Fort McPherson, was a dream realized by Perry in 2015. The facility boasted 12 fully furnished sound stages for movie productions, along with other structures like a replica of the White House, a diner, a mobile home park, and a prison yard.

This space has not only been a hub for film production but also a beacon of hope and empowerment for the black community in Atlanta.

In the final week of 2022, Tyler Perry made headlines again when he acquired an additional 37 acres of land for $8.4 million to expand his studio.

The expansion plans included adding 12 more sound stages, a move that would have significantly increased the studio's capabilities and size.

However, Perry decided to halt these plans after witnessing the advancements in AI technology, particularly OpenAI’s text-to-video model Sora.
