Prince to produce Usher movie

USHER HEADED FOR THE BIG SCREEN

R&B star USHER is set to star in an in-the-works drama co-written by "Ray" screenwriter JAMES WHITE. "Dying for Dolly," the story of a boy from the streets who finds his way through music, will be produced by PRINCE. Usher has previously played supporting roles in "She's All That," "The Faculty" and the TV series "Moesha." His "Confessions" is currently the biggest-selling album of the year.

I googled this and all I could come up with is that it's written by a Jonathon Prince.

Plus Prince's films are awful so why would anyone ask him to do this?

i have to say when i saw that headline i thought "what the fuck is going on?!" its probably a mistake, it would be interesting if it was prince producing, but why would he bother?! he's got enough on his plate at the moment with taking the tour worldwide!

So am eye done Bing someone who likes Prince?

Well...considering Usher is a Liar ,
there is NO confession
cause there IS NO BABY.
It was a gimmic ... its not a confession
but a lie
in the song 4 ur sympathy.
Instead of some loser young guy with a lot of money, singing about
how he cheated on his oh so fine TLC girlfriend...
the baby part is the part that gets ur mental 2 say oh kay,
this song is good ....
But
There is No "one on the way" (there is no baby)
he is just an ass that cheated on his girl...
that part is in the song 2 get u 2 like it.

So... basically ...eye dont dig Liars... Never thought Prince did either... BUT, IF this movie IS A GO... well, well... eye will right 2 NPGMC nd just simply asked 2 have my membership disconnected...
There R 2 many Liars in this world...
N eye aint setting my self up 2 support a Liar (Usher - especially if they already got mad money - nd the LIE IS WORLD WIDE - MASS DECEPTION)... nd eye aint supportin N E one supportin a Liar either.

He would be the producer (the guy putting up the money) I think a lot of you guys forget Purple Rain was Prince's idea.

The film is being produced by Johnathan Prince. The midget from Minneapolis has nothing to do with it.

Being a producer can often mean just providing $$ for the film with very limited creative input. Doubt Prince would want to have limited input but maybe he's thinking of branching back into film but in a different way. Could be interesting! Also a great way to get his NEW music into films. biggrin

i bet this is a bit of misreporting...or maybe it was a possibility for like 15 minutes and prince is on to the next thing...or who knows, maybe he's really producing the thing.

i remember back in the day, hearing on MTV news that P had four films in the works at the same time, including a film about japan and a biopic about charlie parker. what ever happened to all that?! lol
