American Idol winner and Broadway actress, Fantasia Barrino, says that a film adaptation of The Color Purple musical is in the works.
“We haven’t started yet because I’m going to work on my album,” Barrino said. “I think it’s fair that I committed myself, and promised that after I finish going on a tour, I’ll be ready to come back and commit myself to Miss Celie again … They’re going to work with me. They don’t have to but that’s a favor. Working with someone like Miss Oprah who’s so talented and amazing — It’s a blessing.”
So, Oprah Winfrey is going to produce a musical version of the movie that she starred in years ago? Why do we need another one? What’s wrong with The Color Purple as it is? Ugh…
