In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Oprah, who portrayed the role of Sofia in the 1985 film version, spoke to The Color Purple’s impactful legacy, explaining, “I don’t know anybody who’s ever been associated with it whose life didn’t get enhanced. Since the publication of the original novel, The Color Purple has become more than a story, evolving into a cultural touchstone with a long history of continuous impact with each remake and rendition and re-adaptation of the text for every new generation that encounters it. The new film, which will be directed by Black Is King’s Blitz Bazawule, is set to reimagine the iconic novel, movie, and musical for a new generation, featuring a revamped score and elements of magical realism in the cinematography. This month, Oprah Winfrey secured headlines once again as she revealed the star-studded cast of the newest rendition of Alice Walker’s The Color Purple.
