The movie’s first trailer undoubtedly appears completely different from the variations of this story we have seen earlier than, because it solely briefly touches on the abuse on the story’s heart and the queer romance that was a canonical a part of Walker’s e book. Since that is solely a trailer, relaxation assured we’ll be seeing much more within the closing movie.
We do see a younger Celie (Mpasi) and her sister Nettie (Bailey) cross paths with Mister (Domingo), the abusive man whose violence one of many two will spend the following a long time making an attempt to flee. Principally, although, the trailer exhibits the glitzier, film musical facet of the story, with Henson’s Shug Avery exhibiting a grown-up Celie (Barrino) one other facet of life, full with sequined clothes, feathered costumes, and glamorous old-Hollywood dance numbers.
The trailer’s most indelible second comes courtesy of Barrino, who will be heard singing a climactic tune referred to as “I am Right here” which options prominently within the Broadway present. The musician and actress’ voice is simply as gorgeous and emotive because it was when she gained “American Idol” at age 19, and when she earned a Grammy for her third album in 2011. Consider it or not, “The Colour Purple” marks Barrino’s first main movie look, and from what we have seen, it will be a showstopper.
“The Colour Purple” hits theaters on December 25, 2023.
