Tyler Perry is known for comedy thanks to his character Madea, and the handful of films devoted to the character. After a less than memorable turn as an action-star in this year’s Alex Cross, Perry returns to the directing chair for next year’s Temptation: Confessions Of A Marriage Counselor, and is quoted as calling the film “provocative…sexually and otherwise”–I hope it doesn’t include Madea in such a situation, that would be unsightly. Jesting aside, Temptation… stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell (“Friday Night Lights”), Lance Gross, Kim Kardashian (yes, that Kardashian), Vanessa Williams, Robbie Jones, and Brandy Norwood. The new poster for the film has arrived and its red, or red hot as Perry would lead us to believe.

Official Synopsis:
A bold exploration of the intrigue and perils of infidelity, Tyler Perry’s Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor is a compelling love story that dives straight into the heart of obsessive passion. “It’s about a woman who starts to get restless in her relationship and her choice to be with another man has a huge effect on the rest of her life,” explains screenwriter/producer/director Tyler Perry. “She goes on a journey – in her career and in her marriage – and she ends up in a very different place than she expected.” In a departure from his previous dramas, this explosive film finds Perry exploring the nature of desire – and just how powerful and dangerous a taste of the forbidden can be. “This is definitely one of the most provocative movies – sexually and otherwise – that I’ve made,” says the director. “There are a lot of people who struggle in their relationships. They make bad choices about their marriages. They get divorced. And so many of them don’t step out of their situation and really think about the consequences of what they’re doing. This movie asks, ‘Are you sure you want to do this?’ It sends up a flag.”
Lionsgate will release Temptation… in theatres March 29, 2013.
