Warner Bros. announced Wednesday the release dates for “Furiosa”, the prequel of 2015's film “Mad Max: Fury Road”, the musical adaptation of “The Color Purple”, and the family film “Coyote vs. Acme”.
The studio unveiled that the films are set to be released in 2023. “Furiosa,” starring Anya Taylor-Joy in the title role, has been set for June 23. The live-action/animation film “Coyote vs. Acme” will be released on July 21, and “The Color Purple” is set for release on Dec. 20.
Earlier in December, Warner Bros. shared plans to premiere its entire 2021 slate, including “The Matrix 4”, “Dune”, and “The Suicide Squad 2” on the company’s streaming service HBO Max and in movie theaters.
Chris Hemsworth and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II are set to join Taylor-Joy in “Furiosa,”. Miller, the filmmaker behind 1979’s “Mad Max” and its three sequels, will return to direct, write and produce the film, along with his longtime producing partner Doug Mitchell.
Furthermore, Dave Green is set to direct “Coyote vs. Acme”. The film centers on the age-old rivalry between Wile E. Coyote and his preferred mail-order supplier.
“Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn is co-writing the screenplay that is based on Ian Frazier’s fictional New Yorker magazine article of the same name. Chris DeFaria and Gunn will produce, the latter under his company Two Monkeys, A Goat and Another, Dead, Monkey production banner.
“The Color Purple” is being adapted from the Tony-winning musical and 1985 film. The upcoming version will be directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg.
In the ’80s, Spielberg directed the original film, which starred Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, and Winfrey. The coming-of-age story, adapted from Alice Walker’s 1982 novel, was turned into a Broadway musical in 2005.
It centers around Celie, a Black woman living in the South in the early 20th century who learns her self-worth through the help of two friends.
