Fantasia Barrino has been living with the musical version of The Color Purple for several years now, starring both in the Broadway production in 2007 and one of its touring companies in 2010 before being given the opportunity to take the lead role in the new film version. The new film has more than just the story linking it to the original film — both Steven Spielberg, who directed the 1985 film, and Oprah Winfrey, who starred in it, are producers on the new film. Barrino says that, when she was making the new version of The Color Purple, she absolutely wanted the new movie to be respectful to the first film.
The Color Purple is playing now in theaters.

Love you and I saw the broadway show in New York, and it was the 1st show with you in it. You're amazing and the complete cast!!!
Tried to see the movie last night but was sold out but rest for show I'mma see it tomorrow night Henderson, NC.
I am so glad they went a different way. 🎉🎉❤❤❤❤love love the movie Standing novation in the movies. Excellent
The 2nd was a musical which i will not see. Totally different. The classic will always be the best.
I'm so happy i remained open-minded about the new version. The cast, colors, and music cinematography were intoxicating, and I plan to see it again and buy it. Ty
This is the younger people color purple as a older woman. The classic I always will love that 1. But I can't appreciate the new one. The new generation one you have to have an open mind. We know how the the original goal is. Ok, but I'm glad that my grandson and his friends get to watch the new version. They washed it the classic 2. But I think my grandson said the best. He can appreciate this more. The first one was 2 complicated for him. Just was more understanding for him so yeah. I I think them for making this movie.
I agree about the first movie.. It is my favorite movie of all time. I know the dialogue and I know the songs.. I am so thankful that you are in the play & the movie.. You did an outstanding performance in both.. Congratulations and best wishes
I love the original color purple and that’s all I have to say somethings don’t even need to be fooled with.
True! That's why I think that this movie would have come off better if it was centered around modern times.
The Color Purple was reupholstered. There is only one and there is absolutely nothing wrong with paying homage! Another thing, if Lin can bring music theater to the big screen, so can we! Aye!!!! 🎉💜💜💜💜💜
Triple threat great actress, blk woman/Mom and songstress . Show up and show out … Won't God do it 🎉❤
I agree with her statement. Great Cast also for this generation. Say that young lady😊
GREAT movie!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This movie was a memory of slavery no thank you. We've been traumatized enough as a people. To many sambos for me!
I thought it was smart how they approached The Color Purple for the time we are in
