Nonetheless, the dispute was settled a month later when the actor’s production company Tyler Perry Studios agreed to be a WGA signatory.

He was accused of attempting to ‘thwart the business opportunity’ of Ubiquitous Entertainment Studios in a federal lawsuit.
A UES rep met a government official back in 2011. They were the first to propose the idea of transforming Fort McPherson into a studio, but Tyler stepped in and persuaded them to agree to his deal to give a similar studio.

The studios were used to film the HBO Films/OWN film version of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks and are currently used in the ongoing prominent television series The Walking Dead.
