‘The Color Purple’ continues to add to its star-studded cast.
And the latest name to onboard the hotly anticipated film is Jon Batiste.
Full story below…
Basking in the glow of his big wins at the GRAMMY Awards (which saw him bag the Best Album honor), the musician will make his acting debut in the role of Grady, husband to Shug Avery (played by Taraji P. Henson). A debonair, the character is billed as a sweet-talking piano man and “the epitome of charm and eloquence.”
The refreshed incarnation of Alice Walker’s 1982 novel takes on the format of a musical movie directed by Blitz Bazawule (who helmed Beyonce’s ‘Black Is King’).
