"The Color Purple" Movie Musical

Anyone heard anything else about this? I was watching the Kennedy Center Honors last night and remembered J-Hud singing "I'm Here" for Oprah and people saying that was her "audition". Oprah even made a comment once that she was making it into a movie but that was a while back. Anything?

One of the absolute worst movie to musical adaptations ever. Just let it die and let the movie remain one of the greatest in all of cinema history.
"I think Glee is way too sharp, smart, witty, clever and emotionally confronting for the masses." - Dave19 - "What's next? Snow Black and the 7 Swaggers? Shasquirta and the Beast? 101 Weavematians? Willis in Ghettoland?" - Dave19, in reference to the new ANNIE remake.

The musical wasn't bad, but I don't know what the hell Oprah was thinking when she wanted to turn it into a movie musical. I think that there should only be the classic hit movie, and that's it.

It might work as a TV movie but I can't imagine it'll do well in the cinema.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
