 Tyler Perry is staying in the Lionsgate family. The multihyphenate, whose "Madea's Family Reunion" debuted last month in the top spot with $30 million, has signed on to write, produce and direct "Daddy's Little Girl" for the independent studio. Lionsgate released "Reunion," which also held the No. 1 position in its second weekend in theaters, as well as Perry's previous boxoffice topper, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman." Reuben Cannon ("Reunion," "Diary") will join Perry as producer of "Daddy's Little Girl," which is described as a reverse Cinderella ("Cinderfella") tale about a young, beautiful, successful female attorney who falls in love with a janitor and single father of three daughters. Despite strong objections from the attorney's father, love triumphs in the end.
