The freshly unveiled pact will see Perry direct and produce four feature films for Amazon Studios that will be released on Prime Video.

We are excited to collaborate with Tyler and his teams to bring even more of his fantastic signature films to our global audiences.”

All of his material is the same..He’s inspiring I won’t take that away from him.
