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.
