The Color Purple: New Trailer And 4 New Images Are Released
Warner Bros. Discovery has released a second trailer and four new high-quality images from the upcoming reimagining of The Color Purple.
The Color Purple is one of two musicals set to come out this December, and one would think a remake of a classic would be a sure thing, but after West Side Story bombed, it's anyone's guess as to whether or not this movie is going to find a place at the box office. Now that the fall season has started, Warner Bros. Discovery is starting to kick the marketing for this film up with a second official trailer that tells us a lot more about the story for those who might not have watched the original and four new high-quality images.
