Prince executive Producing a movie with Usher

According to the Hollywood Reporter (9/21/06):

"American Dreams" creator and executive producer PRINCE is on board to produce another music-themed MTV Films project, "The Ballad of Walter Holmes," which has Usher attached to star."

According to IMDB.com the movie is about "An R&B singer from the streets finds his path in life through his music."

Thoughts? Is this factual or is the article wrong?

"American Dreams" was created by Jonathan Prince

So this has nothing to do with Prince.

executive producer is for the most part a meaningless title.

IMDB.com is proven to be a unrelyable sorce. They have said movies were in production that were not. They have said movie scripts and charactors were cast, that were not. Don't believe anything you read there.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

HAHAHA, sounds like I may have misread that article if that is the case.
