Don’t miss the motion picture event of the holiday season. #TheColorPurple arrives only in theaters Christmas Day – tickets on sale now.

Warner Bros. Pictures invites you to experience the extraordinary sisterhood of three women who share one unbreakable bond in “The Color Purple.” This bold new take on the beloved classic is directed by Blitz Bazawule, a multi-medium artist whose breakout first feature is the highly acclaimed “The Burial of Kojo.” The film’s all-star producers are Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones.
“The Color Purple” stars Oscar nominee Taraji P. Henson (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”), SAG Award winner and Tony Award nominee Danielle Brooks (“The Color Purple,” “Orange Is the New Black”), Tony nominee and Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo (“Euphoria,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom”), Tony Award nominee Corey Hawkins (“Six Degrees of Separation,” “In the Heights”), Oscar- and Grammy-winning artist H.E.R. (“Judas and the Black Messiah”), Grammy nominee Halle Bailey (“The Little Mermaid”), Oscar nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (“King Richard,” “Ray”), and Grammy-winning artist Fantasia Barrino in her major motion picture debut.
The screenplay is by acclaimed playwright Marcus Gardley, who won a WGA Award for “Maid.” His script is based on the novel by Alice Walker and based on the musical stage play, book (of the musical stage play) by Marsha Norman, music and lyrics by Brenda Russell, Allee Willis and Stephen Bray.
Joining director Bazawule behind the camera are a roster of acclaimed artisans, including Oscar-nominated director of photography Dan Laustsen (“The Shape of Water”), Oscar-winning production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (“The Shape of Water”), editor Jon Poll (“Bombshell,” “Meet the Parents”), costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck (“Glory,” “One Night in Miami…”) and choreographer Fatima Robinson (“Dreamgirls”). The music is by Oscar nominee Kris Bowers (“King Richard,” “Green Book,” documentary short “A Concerto Is a Conversation”).
Warner Bros. Pictures presents a Harpo Films Production, an Amblin Entertainment Production, a Scott Sanders Production/a QJP Production, “The Color Purple.” It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures and is set to open in theaters in North America on December 25, 2023 and internationally beginning 18 January 2024.

  4. How did Fantasia go from not getting the original Broadway play nod, to now potentially winning a Golden Globe and Oscar for staring in the movie? Talk about never giving up on your dream!!!

  8. Fantasia should have played Shug..she can sang she's sassy and would have been the icing. Sophia should have been played by that sister in Single Black female.. she's attractive she can act and she has attitude. I will wait for it to come to TV. Steven Color Purple will always be the best..we didn't need a remake..O going for that Oscar..I don't think so unless they just give you one like they fid Monique and Jennifer..please the Blacks…

  9. The sister from the Chi should have been Ceilly as a girl..wrong casting for this movie..Henson is no Avery who didn't sing. This reminds me of Blacks pissed cause Bassett didn't win for her performance as Tina..Jennifer Lewis would have won .she can sang and she's sassy. Angela didnt have it..

  13. The lack of diversity in the cast is deeply disturbing. This is 2023, people! How long do we Asian-Americans have to suffer under the yoke of black privilege in Hollywood and be denied equal opportunities? How about some color-blind casting in these movies? Give us a Chinese Celie and an Indian Shug! God Almighty!

  15. The Color Purple is a book that has already been adapted for both stage and screen. Are there no other black stories to tell?
    Until now, Whoopie Golberg was Celie, in the same way Marlon Brando is Don Corleone and Vivien Leigh is Scartlett O'Hara

  19. Looks interesting, like when I first watched the trailer for Black Panther. About 100 years we have seen movies with mostly white actors and now the pendulum is swinging up, really makes all the racists cry….and I am ok with that.
    Everything Everywhere All at Once proved that you can make a banger movie with a cast of non-white people, Black Panther did it too. I wonder if there will be one white guy in the movie like in Black Panther.
    I will watch it.

  23. To those of you who don't get it:
    The original Color Purple is a great movie, but it, like the Roots remake, will cause a lot of anger in the black community.
    Over the years since the release of the original (an excellent movie for its time) it
    has been seen as a very devisive movie within the black community, and with black males in particular.
    This isn't some rant about the quality of the film but more so about black americans (especially men) being portrayed as the Other, the invisible threat or the lesser than.
    And if you think I'm being ridiculous, please feel free to ask any black heterosexual male if this is something he is looking forward to seeing this holiday season. The original is a movie that overstayed it's well, so someone decided to make a musical about it….
    🤔 😂😂😂😂😂😂
    Hollywood…..do better!!!!!
