Sanaa Lathan, who stars in Tyler Perry’s new movie “The Family That Preys”, was seen earlier this week attending the launch of Verizon’s new pink Black Berry 8330. The actress, who turns 37 in a few short weeks, is also gracing the cover of next week’s edition of Jet Magazine, along with fellow “Preys” cast mate, Taraji P. Henson.

Along with a stellar cast that includes Lathan and Henson, actresses Robin Givens and Alfre Woodard are also on board for what appears to be this fall’s must see movie. I had no idea what to expect of this movie when I first heard about it last year; however, after seeing several trailers for the film, I have no doubt this will be Tyler’s best work to date. Sanaa is playing a character we haven’t seen her tackle before and Robin Givens, who is making her way back into Hollywood, looks to have a very juicy role as well.

Actress Taraji P. Henson, best known for her role in the film Hustle & Flow, is having a busy year. Now that the actress has wrapped up filming her one-season stint on the ABC series Boston Legal, you will be seeing a lot more of her on the big screen. Taraji has four films coming out this year including Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys Together and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which she will be playing of all things, Brad Pitt’s mother. In the film, which is based on the best-selling novel of the same name, Taraji plays a character by the name of Queenie and is said to have a very significant role in the movie, with her name listed third in the credits, right behind Pitt and Kate Blanchett who plays his love interest in the film.
