A new trailer for The Color Purple, starring Taraji P. Henson, Fantasia Barrino, Halle Bailey, Danielle Brooks, and Colman Domingo, has been released.
The Big Picture A second trailer for The Color Purple has been released by Warner Bros., providing a sneak peek at the upcoming musical directed by Blitz Bazawule. Two sisters Black sisters struggle to find their way back to each other after being separated in their youth. The older versions of the siblings will be portrayed by Fantasia Barrino and Ciara will be in charge of portraying Celie Harris-Johnson and Nettie Harris, respectively.
The new trailer presents the premise of the story, primarily following Celie's coming-of-age story after her sister is taken from her by her domineering husband , whom she does not love. The project produced by Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey will feature music at the core of its narrative, setting the stage for the characters to express their struggles through song.
Since the story of the Harris sisters will be explored from the time when they were young, one of the biggest stars from this year will be seen as another version of Nettie. After dancing under the sea as Ariel in this summer's The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey will portray the younger version of Nettie Harris, complimenting Ciara's performance as her older counterpart.
'The Color Purple' for a New Generation This wouldn't be the first time Spielberg is involved with an adaptation of the musical based on the book by Alice Walker. In 1985, the filmmaker directed his own big-screen version of the timeless story, with Whoopi Goldberg portraying Celie and Akosua Busia playing Nettie. The film went on to earn eleven nominations at the Academy Awards, but in a rare historical statistic, didn't manage to win in any single category.
