Thandie Newton has been signed to star in Tyler Perry's latest Lionsgate offering, the romantic drama "Good Deeds," the studio has confirmed.
Newton will star alongside Perry, who is also the movie's writer and director.
Perry directed Newton in the 2010 "For Colored Girls."
The film revolves around a successful entrepreneur, about to become married, 
who becomes enamored with a down-on-her-luck single mother who rekindles a spark that seems to have faded with his uptown fiancee.

She won the BAFTA best supporting actress award for her role in the 2004 "Crash."
Newton is repped by WME and Untitled Entertainment and, in the UK, by Independent Talent.
Variety first reported the news.
