The highly anticipated ‘The Color Purple’ movie musical has been in the works for quite some time, and on Monday the official first trailer arrived online.
Warner Bros. Pictures debuted a tease of the new adaptation of the Alice Walker novel and the Broadway musical it inspired, which was previously released as a non-musical film in 1985.
The new film will star Fantasia Barrino as Celie in her feature film debut, and Danielle Brooks as Sofia. Additionally, Taraji P. Henson, Halle Bailey, Louis Gossett Jr., Corey Hawkins, David Alan Grier, Colman Domingo, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, H.E.R., Ciara, Jon Batiste, and Deon Cole also round out the cast.
Oprah Winfrey, who starred as Sofia in the 1985 movie alongside Whoopi Goldberg as Celie, is a producer behind the project and also shared the trailer on Monday.
