New Poster And Motion Poster For The Color Purple Are Released

Warner Bros. Discovery has released a new poster and motion poster for The Color Purple, and a new trailer is set to drop next week.

It might be the beginning of October, but that doesn't mean Christmas isn't right around the corner, and this December, that means musicals. We have two this year, sort of, with the first being Wonka, even if it's not being called a traditional musical, and the second being The Color Purple which is a remake of a classic. Of the two, it's pretty obvious which is the safer bet, but after West Side Story underperformed, it's anyone's guess about whether or not there is any interest in musicals these days. Warner Bros., Discovery will be kicking up the marketing in the next month or so, and we do have a new trailer next week, but for now, we have a new poster and motion poster that is extremely photoshopped and weird-looking. These three beautiful ladies deserve better than whatever filter this graphic artist was overusing.
