We really wanted H.E.R. to play Squeak but she already had an international tour planned at the same time we were shooting. But she quickly rearranged her schedule because she really wanted to be in this movie. I did something similar back when I played Sofia in 1985. I put all my vacation and sick days together to take time off to shoot the film. That’s the energy we wanted from everyone joining this Purple family and Gabby was such a great compliment to the cast. I’m ecstatic to welcome her into the Purple sisterhood and I cannot wait for you to meet her version of Squeak. The Color Purple is in theaters starting Christmas Day 💜

We could not cast young Celie until we knew who would play the adult version of her. And when Fantasia accepted the role of Celie, Phylicia was the only other person that could play her, too. Not only can they both sing, dance, and act, but they also look like they were born from the same (talented) family! She shared that Fantasia was her blueprint growing up and now they’re in the same movie playing the same role. If that’s not manifesting, then I don’t know what is. This is Phylicia’s first big movie and she’s knockout. She loved being in it so much that she did exactly what I did when I was a newcomer shooting my version of Purple in 1985: Come to set even on the days you weren’t required. Just soaking it all in. I’m so elated to bring her into the Purple sisterhood and I cannot wait for you to meet her version of Young Celie. The Color Purple is in theaters starting on Christmas Day💜

Halle had just finished filming The Little Mermaid when she agreed to play Young Nettie in our movie, which brought us so much excitement. We knew she’d do right as Celie’s younger sister not only because she’s a fiercely protective sibling herself in real life, but also by the way she handled everything that came with playing Ariel. The good and bad were met with Halle’s grace, dignity, and strength. She then brought Young Nettie to life with a fresh, enlivened sassiness to her—even writing an original song for the soundtrack. I’m so delighted to bring her into the Purple sisterhood and I cannot wait for you to meet her version of Young Nettie. The Color Purple is in theaters starting on Christmas Day💜
