The Color Purple is based on the Broadway musical and Alice Walker novel of the same name. The film is written by Marcus Gardley and directed by Blitz Bazawule.
The new movie is described as a "bold new take" on Walker's novel, which follows "the extraordinary sisterhood of three women who share one unbreakable bond."
The trailer shows Henson perform the song "Push Da Button" as her character, Shug Avery.
