‘The Color Purple’ has been wowing audiences for decades and looks set to thrill for more to come thanks to its latest revival.
Reimagined as a musical movie, the beloved tale – which centers on sisterhood and overcoming – has stormed the US box office and earned accolades in earnest. Indeed, the Blitz Bazawule-directed production has been nominated for a plethora of awards – including an Oscar.
Ahead of its UK release on January 26, That Grape Juice‘s Maya Egbo caught up with Taraji P. Henson, who opened up in earnest about playing Shug Avery, sisterhood with castmates Fantasia Barrino and Danielle Brooks, and drawing strength from her own mother.
We also sat down with director Bazawule and producer Scott Sanders, who dished on reigniting Alice Walker’s story for a whole new audience.
