Published Sun, 01 Dec 2024 05:14:36 GMT

Michael Mann (the director of the Insider and Ali) is one of the greatest filmmakers of late 20th century Hollywood, and his streak of excellent films continued well into the 21st century.

But you can’t keep a good filmmaker down.Adam Driver in Ferrari, courtesy of Elevation Pictures.Ferrari is Mann’s first film in 8 years, and his first working with Adam Driver (from Girls and House of Gucci).

Finding new dimensions, sisterhood, and healing in ‘The Color Purple’

Published Sun, 01 Dec 2024 05:14:36 GMT

It’s not a secret that Fantasia Barrino did not want to play Celie again. The “American Idol” winner hadn’t had the best time doing “The Color Purple” on Broadway.The protagonist of Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel tells her story of sexual, physical and psychological abuses in the early twentieth century South in a series of letters to God. And it was a character she found it difficult to leave behind at the end of the day. Even the prospect of starring in her first major motion picture didn’t seem worth it. But director Blitz Bazawule had a different vision: He wanted to give Celie an imagination. This Barrino found intriguing.“Once she understood the assignment, she quickly agreed,” Bazawule said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.Now, four decades after “The Color Purple” became a literary sensation and a Steven Spielberg film, the story is on the big screen again. This time it’s a grand, big budget Warner Bros. musical starring Barrino, Taraji P. H...
