‘The Color Purple’ is reborn on the big screen this December.
Based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, which itself was an adaptation of Alice Walker’s 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the latest incarnation of the story is a musical movie led by Fantasia.
The multi-hyphenate talent is joined by a stellar cast that includes Danielle Brooks, Taraji P. Henson, H.E.R, Halle Bailey, Colman Domingo, Corey Hawkins, Aunjanue Ellis, Jon Batiste, and Ciara.
With the countdown officially on for the release of Blitz Bazawule production, Warner Bros has unlocked an extended trailer for the eagerly awaited film – which tells the tale of sisters with an unshakeable bond.
Watch below…
‘The Color Purple’ premieres in US theaters on December 25.
Ok so it’s looking like no Oscar campaign for Fantasia. Maybe Danielle and Taraji, but this doesn’t look like awards material. Will be nice to have a film version with the songs from the musical, but that’s about it.
I’m starting to think the studio is unsure how to sell a musical to the target audience, because although the trailer is excellent, it doesn’t reflect how the actual movie plays. It is a true musical with lots of song and dance numbers. I know for a fact and that’s all I can say.
What purple? Balck people are Black color under the skin anyways
Where is the diversity???? Why all only casting all Black women 💅🏾
Boy shut yo ignorant ass up. We tired of yo s***
Still not seeing as much of Tasia as i want in these promos, but if production brought it like they did in broadway play…the movie gonna be lit.
Can’t wait!
Wait and see we want it all like now, wet your appetite its gonna happen for her. when Jennifer took the Oscar it was not for her acting thats for sure. It was her singing
I can’t wait to see Fantasia in action I believe that she will blow a lot of people away with her acting skills
Fantasia is gonna be phenomenal
