Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer for The Color Purple. Based on the novel by Alice Walker and the musical stage play, The Color Purple is a “bold new take on the beloved classic” about “the extraordinary sisterhood of three women who share one unbreakable bond.“
Directed by Blitz Bazawule (Black Is King), The Color Purple stars Taraji P. Henson (Hidden Figures), Danielle Brooks (Orange Is the New Black), Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead), Corey Hawkins (In the Heights), H.E.R. (Judas and the Black Messiah), Halle Bailey (The Little Mermaid), Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (If Beale Street Could Talk), and Fantasia Barrino, who makes her major motion picture debut in the film.
The Color Purple for the first time in 1985. The film, starring Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover was a huge success. It was nominated for 11 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay, but it didn’t win any. Blitz Bazaule, the director of Total Film, said that this new adaptation is a story for a younger generation. “It is like, how do you create a new thing that honors the original? Bazawule replied, “That was the job. “We are aware that this Color Purple is a work for a new age. The context is timeless, as long there are issues of gender discrimination, domestic abuse, racial inequalities, and penal systems with bias. All these things are central to what The Color Purple is – and if you look out your window, it’s happening today.“Oprah Winfrey is a producer on the new adaptation of
The Color Purple and said that it represents a “full circle moment” for her. Winfrey stated that “The Color Purple has changed the course of my life“. “It was the beginning of the ascension of everything that happened in my life, so it was emotional.“The Color Purple
will hit theaters in North America on December 25th, followed by an international release starting on January 18, 2024. What did you think of the first trailer for the musical adaptation of The Color Purple?
