EUR Bonus Bonus Coverage: scroll down for our red carpet interviews with the film's Jennifer Lewis and The Browns themselves, David & Tamela Mann!

      In the film, Bassett plays single mom Brenda who takes her family from Chicago to Georgia for the funeral of her father – whom she never met. There, she meets the family she never knew, but will never forget.

      Perry admitted that he wrote the screenplay with Bassett in mind. The two had even conversed about the project years before. Bassett said that she was very happy to find out that the role was going to come to fruition, being a fan of the playwright/screenwriter, but admitted that she wasn’t counting on it.

      “I’d seen a couple of his movies and I saw one of his plays,” Bassett said of not really knowing Perry.

      She explained that the night she saw the play ‘Madea Goes to Jail,’ she met Tyler Perry and he mentioned that he wanted to work with her. Bassett said that was all she heard for a while. And then, while she was in Atlanta, Perry came to meet with her.

      “I think he was filming ‘Why Did I Get Married,’ she recalled. “He came to say hello and he said, ‘I got 30 pages,’ and he said that he wrote them for me.”

      Flattered, but still not convinced, Bassett admitted that after that she just forgot about it.

      “It’s 30 pages; you can’t do much with that. I [have] to see it when you got it complete,” she said. “A lot of people say they’d like to work with you or we should work together. But does it really happen? Do your paths really cross? Do you get to it? A lot of times it doesn’t, but this time it really did.”

      Though it was two deliberate pursuits of Bassett, for her co-star Fox it was two chance meetings to score the role of Harry.

      “I no longer try to control [my path], I just embrace it and accept it and a lot of blessings have happened and this happened to be the latest one,” Fox said. “Here I was with my trainer out on a Sunday running, trying to keep in shape and prepared. As [Perry] tells it, he was up praying about this very role and didn’t know where to go. He was crossing from Sunset Plaza, here comes his white Bentley, we scoot across and he honks.”

      Fox said he recognized Perry and shared pleasantries and exchanged phone numbers. 

      “At that point, I never thought anything would come out of it as quickly as it did,” he said.

      But after his run, in a new location, Fox stopped for a protein shake and upon leaving the store, saw Perry across the street pulling up the valet.

      “I’m thinking, ‘This is too coincidental.”

      This time, Fox took the opportunity to talk to Perry about his upcoming projects, and convinced him to give him chance.

      Now, he’s got a project with Angela Basset under his belt and a little tutelage from her too.

      “I was completely overwhelmed up until we got to the set,” he admitted. “But we sat down and talked awhile and she got me out of that fan place. She’s very open and very gracious. I was so blessed to have her be so receptive to work with me.”

      “I love the collaborative process,” Bassett said of being considered a mentor to her cast mates. “People have been good and kind to me. My mom always said, ‘Work hard and be nice,’ so this is part of it. And we spend too much time together; 16-18 hours a day. And I want it to be as good as we can make it.”

      “Meet the Browns,” also starring David Mann, Lance Gross, Margaret Avery, and Jenifer Lewis, opens today. For more on the film, point your browser to www.meethebrownsfilm.com.
