The project is reportedly in development.<\/p>\n<p>Enter <strong>Shamont Lyle Sapp<\/strong> &#8212; who, coincidentally, says he&#8217;s serving time in Oklahoma for 10 bank robberies &#8212; he&#8217;s filed a lawsuit, claiming he gave Foxx and Perry the idea for the project &#8230; and they cut him out of the action.<\/p>\n<p>According to the docs, Shamont had the idea to unite the three characters in one film &#8212; but his version wasn&#8217;t a comedy about bank robbers &#8230; it was a drama about a mental hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit encapsulates Sapp&#8217;s idea &#8212; &#8220;A male white mental patient takes Madea hostage &#8230; He deals with phone calls from the negotiators, as Madea actually pleads for her life in a very sad tear-jerking way &#8230; Her pleas are to be very sad. No jokes at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like a blast. Shamont is also suing Fox Broadcasting and producer <strong>David Zuckerman<\/strong> for a total of $4 million in damages. Calls to Foxx and Perry&#8217;s camps were not returned.<\/p>\n<p>Looks like a bogus suit\u00a0 &#8230; Foxx and Martin did a &#8220;Skank Robbers&#8221;\u00a0 sketch for the BET Awards in 2009 &#8230; which aired a month before Sapp even pitched his idea to Perry (<em>below<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"continued\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read More:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2011\/12\/29\/jamie-foxx-tyler-perry-sued-by-prisoner\/\" title=\"Jamie Foxx &amp; Tyler Perry Sued By Prisoner -- You Jacked My Bad Movie Idea!!!\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie Foxx &amp; Tyler Perry Sued By Prisoner &#8212; You Jacked My Bad Movie Idea!!!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Jamie Foxx &#038; Tyler Perry Sued By Prisoner &#8212; You Jacked My Bad Movie Idea!!!
