The Color Purple trailer is here, and it charts a decades-spanning reimagining of the classic tale. Based on the Tony Award-winning musical from Scott Sanders, which is based in turn on Alice Walker’s seminal 1982 novel, the new version tells Miss Celie’s timeless story.
The first teaser begins with the young version of our heroine (played by newcomer Phylicia Mpasi) and her sister Nettie (The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey) growing up together. Full of joy and innocence, everything changes for them when Celie marries Albert Johnson (Colman Domingo), and their lives are put on separate paths.
