Warner Bros. Pictures has unveiled the first full trailer for its bold new take on the beloved classic, The Color Purple.
A story of extraordinary sisterhood of three women who share one unbreakable bond, The Color Purple has always attracted awards, from the Pulitzer Prize Alice Walker for the original 1982 novel to the 11 Oscar nominations earned by Steven Spielberg’s 1985 film adaptation.
Since then, it has gone on to Tony nominations thanks to the musical version, which is now headed to screens itself.
The Warner Bros. version is directed by Blitz Bazawule (‘Black Is King,’ ‘The Burial of Kojo’) and produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones.
It stars Taraji P. Henson (‘What Men Want,’ ‘Hidden Figures’), Danielle Brooks (‘Peacemaker,’ ‘Orange Is the New Black’), Colman Domingo (‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,’ ‘Fear the Walking Dead’), Corey Hawkins (‘In the Heights,’ ‘BlacKkKlansman’), and Fantasia Barrino (in her major motion picture debut).
Watch the trailer below, coming soon to cinemas.
