Blitz Bazawule, who is most known for his work on Beyoncé’s ‘Black is King’ and the OWN network’s ‘Cherish the Day,’ will helm the Warner Bros. feature, which is set to enter theaters on December 20, 2023.

In addition, Corey Hawkins (well known for his role as Dr. Dre in the film ‘Straight Out Of Compton’) will play ‘Harpo’ in the film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which is based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel.

Those who starred in and cooperated in the 1985 picture will also be in attendance. Through her Harpo Films, Oprah Winfrey (who made her film debut as ‘Sophia’) will produce, and the film’s original director Steven Spielberg will produce through his own Amblin Entertainment.

Meanwhile, Quincy Jones, who composed the original film’s score and produced the Broadway musical, will produce the new remake alongside Alice Walker, who was one of the film’s several executive producers.

All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
