It's been over a year since the cast was revealed for this year's remake of The Colour Purple, directed by Blitz Bazawule. Based on the iconic novel, movie and, more recently, stage musical, the film is produced by Oprah Winfrey – one of the stars of Steven Spielberg's 1985 film.

There hasn't been much news about the production since then, but a minimal teaser poster has been spotted at this year's CinemaCon in Las Vegas. And it's causing a few, shall we say, raised eyebrows. (Looking for inspiration? Check out the best print ads of all time.)
