The color purple remake to star Fantasia, H.e.r, Taraji & more

[Burned Verses]

“This ain’t your mama’s Color Purple,” says Oprah Winfrey.Those are the exact words she uses to describe the upcoming film based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical, which was based on the 1985 Steven Spielberg movie that gave the media icon her first big acting break. It all originates from Alice Walker’s classic 1982 novel about Black women from the rural South during the early part of the last century, trying to survive and thrive under unspeakable, ever-present cruelties.

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

I don’t think it needed to be done, and I don’t want more negative images of black men, but I’m not mad at the cast.

Shug and Ceiley were lesbians in the book. They’ll just make it more obvious than it was in the film. I bet they were going to give Whoopi a cameo until recent events.

Casting is solid

Torn on this. In retrospect there are some problematic bits. But it’s still an important part of Black literature.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Shouldn’t H.E.R. be Shug since she’s the actual singer? Unless Taraji can sing and I don’t know it. Interesting castings.

Bruh white people reimagine/remake shyt all the time . The play and movie aren’t even the same.

 

[The Minister Of Culture]

Hollywood has been creatively bankrupt for sometime now. Partly due to greed studios hate spending money on movies that might not make their money back.
