Some are some aren't. Many roles are now by non Americans. They are all actors and they are all under 40.

brits annoy me, i figured with all that attention put into their stupid hairdos and clothes, they had to be brits. they might be better than pacino,brando and deniro all in one, i couldn't care less. I'd rather spike make good on his idea of a multipart docu on Prince, most biopics are trash anyway. Even the good ones, i personally, would rather watch a docu over a great biopic, any day.




Well damn. What did Brits do to you? lol

At this point I'd rather a well done doc than a biopic myself.

He's short.



donald glover? shit, he's 70 years old and twice as big and twice as dark as Prince, maybe he could play his daddy. Mel Gibson could play owen husney.



I'd hardly be recommending Danny Glover for the role of Prince. He's too old for that shit. razz

There is this new soap opera/sitcom that seems to have gone global. It is on 24 hours a day and it is called American news. It stars Americans, is cast by Americans and is, for want of a better word, directed by Americans. Collectively Americans cast an orange, dim-witted orangutan with a very stupid hairdo and the intellectual capacity of a slug as the lead in this global phenomenon. Pot, meet kettle.

Funnily enough, "pretentiousness" and "attention put intu their stupid hair and clothes" sounds like an accusation many have thrown at Prince himself over the years. Just a really lazy and ridiculous thing to say.

if prince didn't irritate you with that shit then you wasn't paying attention, irritated and embarrassed me as a fan, many times. it's no big deal but I'm pretty old school and simple, i don't like people who put on a lot of show and symbol with their lives, do that through action not through fucking with your hair so you get attention, i was like tthat , for maybe 6 mos as a kid, and i grew up and out of it. I'm a musician but I don't really like attention when i'm not performing, and it's not just brits, it seems the easier people's lives have been the more they pull that shit, real, hard life makes you not want to waste time with the bullshit. it's strange but I can tell a black person who's been around white people just by the fucking hair, they always do wierd shit with their hair, may dye it, grow it out so they look like a clown, dread it up, almost almost always those white sounding motherfuckers with white friends, white wives and still complaining how they don't like the white dick up their asses.

That is so far from being true it ain't funny. Go to any black owned barbershop and sit for a while. People are just people they come in all types of varieties which includes black people. One can't tell just by looking at how a black person does their hair who they lived around. Nice box you put people in.

That's Danny Glover. Donald Glover is 35 and Childish Gambino. Is a standup comedian, was in the TV show community, has a hit tv series called Atlanta, was in Spiderman and Star Wars and a host of other movies.

You don't think so? i might have been a little out of bounds there but it's my observation. Either way, it's funny how I knew those guys were brits, just from their body language, expression and clothes. but you're right, i'm an asshole.

Not something I have to think I about. Not all those guys are Brits or even from Europe. I see one of my pix is missing I'll post it later.

No one will be a physical match. Jamie has the acting ability and there is CGI.
Any Prince movie will require CGI to create prince along with lip syncing.

As I said on another post: A Prince The Making Of Purple Rain would be a good movie to start with before attempting his whole life.
Feature short stories from people from that era mixed with the dramatization.
How Warner’s was convinced to back it, the rewrite, the doubts, the casting, reshoots, the editing all the way to the premier and end with the tour and Prince’s restlessness to go on to the next project.

yea. definitely.

He'd have made a fantastic RUDY RAY MOORE though... I always thought that since seeing the DISCO GODFATHER on VHS back in the late 90's. That blue jumpsuit had me thinking... IT'S UNCANNY!!!

BUT i think a better casting choice would've been Jamie as Chester Cheetah.
