THE COLOR PURPLE | Taraji P. Henson in “Push Da Button” Clip - In Theaters Now

Warner Bros. Pictures invites you to experience “The Color Purple.” Produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones, the film is a bold new take on the classic story of love and resilience, adapted from the beloved novel and the Broadway musical.

Torn apart from her sister Nettie (Halle Bailey) and her children, Celie (Fantasia Barrino in her major motion picture debut, reprising her 2005 role from Broadway) faces many hardships in her life, including an abusive husband simply called Mister (Colman Domingo). With the support of sultry singer Shug Avery (Taraji P. Henson) and stand-her-ground stepdaughter Sofia (Danielle Brooks, Tony-nominated for the role on Broadway), Celie ultimately finds extraordinary strength in the unbreakable bonds of a new kind of sisterhood.

“The Color Purple” is directed by Blitz Bazawule from a screenplay by acclaimed playwright and WGA Award winner Marcus Gardley (“The Maid”).

And this is why they need to pay Taraji what she’s due cause she completely captivates you. My mouth was wide open during this scene cause I was so shocked by all the talent this woman holds within herself. I love Taraji ❤❤❤

[christypassy]

Taraji was at her ABSOLUTE BEST in this movie. She gave everything and more! She deserves the compensation she is requesting.

[Music]

🤩 The fact that Taraji was actually floating through a real drained swamp and not cgi is just 👌🏽

the choreography was sooo good especially when the lights were off 😍

The last line before this scene:

"Shug wants to make an entrance"

[noahnunn]

I feel like it should be noted… She can sing, but even she acknowledged the work and support she had to prepare herself for this type of Clare and professional style of singing!

[iamfrankhouston]

That’s me on the 🎷! It was a blast being a part of this film! FYI, it was first shot in the woods of Covington, GA then later inside a studio in Atl. Dope how they put it all together!

[ryanokeefe]

I knew Taraji could sing. Didn’t know she could SANG! Wow!

[lizOnar]

Believe it or not it's my first time hearing Taraji P Henson sing and she's good her vocal cords are good

[jessied]

I had never heard her sing and she blows the roof off with this song!!!

[tribaltimes]

I remember watching the 1985 Shug Avery and being taken in by her beauty and attitude. Then I saw this, and I swear I was speechless. She brought a whole new light on Shug Avery, and OMG that entrance is the best!!! They stuck pretty close to Shugs original dress, but this took it a step further and... wow. I caught myself singing this all day today. Red is a color that commands respect and attention here. OH and to see her walk right past Mister and go right up to Celie was the best end to this scene!!!

[RhythmicEDM]

The sequence where the lights went out reminded me of Smooth Criminal and I LOVE IT❤

[andiotrebac]

The fact that Taraji can’t even take some time off for work is ridiculous

Hollywood needs to pay her for the perfection she delivers

[sebastiano.catignani]

Taraji deserve absolutly to win an Oscar 😍 wonderful!

[janb]

This is why she’s one of my favs. Never gives anything but her best in all of her performances.

[deez]

Taraji saiddd the days of sleeping on her are ova. Sang Sis 🔥🔥🔥

[jackdolinger]

One of those rare instances where a story is consistently done justice. The Color Purple is an amazing book, an amazing film, and an amazing musical both on-stage and on-screen. Now all they need to do is make it a tv show 😜.

[aprentissdaye]

The Color Purple soundtrack is absolutely amazing. God, I loved this movie, both the original and the remake.

[sylviagray]

Nobody could have played this part better than Taraji!
