It is being reported that Fantasia Barrino is in heavy talks with Oprah Winfrey to take the leading role on a film version of Broadway musical The Colour Purple.Barrino told MTV:
“That’s going to happen and I’m going to do it,” .
Barrino who recently ended her gig playing Celie in the stage version,added:
“We haven’t started yet because I’m going to work on my album. I think it’s fair that I committed myself, and promised that after I finish going on a tour, I’ll be ready to come back and commit myself to Miss Celie again.””They [the producers] are going to work with me. They don’t have to [but] that’s a favour. Working with someone like Miss Oprah who’s so talented and amazing – it’s a blessing.”
