Ciara Joins the Cast of ‘The Color Purple’ Musical Movie

Published: Tuesday 22nd Mar 2022 by Sam

The star-studded revival of ‘The Color Purple’ is shining even brighter. Because Ciara has on-boarded the stellar cast.

Full story below…

Per EW, the superstar songstress has been tapped to star as the adult Nettie in the hotly anticipated Warner Bros. production. As reported, Halle Bailey will feature as young Nettie in the Blitz Bazawule-directed film – which centers on Southern life in 1900s.

Produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey (who were both instrumental in the 1985 original), the revival takes on the form of a musical movie and sees Fantasia Barrino lead alongside the likes of Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson, H.E.R, Colman Domingo, and Corey Hawkins.

Set to begin shooting in Georgia this month, ‘The Color Purple’ – which is based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1982 novel – arrives in theaters on December 23, 2023.

    This is a really good look for her! I’m sure she will do well! She has been the underdog her entire career and she always come out on top. I look forward to seeing the film.

    Are they auditioning for these parts? I’ll bet just about anything people will see Halle, H.E.R. and Ciara as themselves putting on a performance and not truly embodying their characters. We’ll see.

  11. IJS March 22, 2022

    They must’ve added a dance scene cause clearly she won’t be singing.

  12. AE March 22, 2022

    The movie is based on the Broadway Musical…adult Nettie doesn’t sing you ignorant coons. 🙄
