wrong wrong wrong!
So very wrong. I'm crying. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

Leaves Prince as original and unique as he is, was and always meant to be
I mean, who truly can capture his dance moves, sex appeal, singing style, look and all Prince's raw emotions on screen?? No one . . . .  I agree 100% God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand.

In today's movie world, you don't need a *real* actor. They would use CGI (computer graphic imagery). Prince would be a computer-generated actor. Like Smeagol in Lord of the Rings, or Shrek. Hey...That's a great idea!! And they could hire me. Prince 3D!  
No that's not working for me. I will not see the movie. God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE".

DaveDare79 said: Jamie Foxx played Ray Charles in "Ray"
Joaquin Phoenix played Johnny Cash in "Walk The Line" Surely Hollywood will someday make a big biography movie about Prince. Which actor could play him? The actor best suited is still unknown. Stand Up! Everybody, this is your life!

Strange but true, I know. And it should also be noted that Rolling Stone didn't actually quote Prince on his parental background, they just state it. I always took this as a combination of poor research by RS and a less than truthful musician. "What kind of fuck ending is that?" |

alwayslate said: wonder505 said: you're joking right? You forget, this is about Prince, therefore you need an actor that can come away looking sexy especially for the early day - bikini briefs/leg warmers, makeup, leather, lace, heels, etc. There is no way Denzel can do that. Plus Denzel looks nothing like Prince. Diana Ross looked nothing like Billie Holliday And that movie sucked and was an insult to the legacy of Billie Holiday. |

When Omar Epps can play Springsteen in his biopic without nobody raising an eyerbow at it, then we can get Ryan Phillippe to play Prince and I won't say shit. I'll even buy a ticket.

how does who raised you have a thing to do with this topic anyway? don't be mad at me. i'm just saying. Prince is Black (no matter how much y'all wish he was racially ambiguous). It would make sense that somebody Black should play him if there was to be a film made about his life. Ain't like Hollywood is short on Black actors. If you're still mad, just think of the money they'll save on makeup costs. Co-sign~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 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. | |

He is Black. that is all. Nobody would ever think to name a Black actor to portray a real person who was White (no matter how tanned he was). That would absurd. But for me to pull your card on all of these damn white guys and say "no way" to that is ridiculous here. Yeah, I wonder what Prince thinks of all his closet-dwelling-racist "fans" I'm done. | |

luv4u said: Esai Morales
or maybe there are some people on this site community that could play the part  Yes, fine ass Esai Morales would make a great Prince. In "La Bamba" when he had a mustache and his hair was boufed up, he very much resembled Prince. When I bought "La Bamba" on DVD, I was listening to the cast commenting on the movie and when Esai was sitting on the motorcycle kissing that girl, it looked just like the scene in "Purple Rain" when Prince dropped off Apollonia the next morning after they had slept together. Even Esai himself was laughing watching himself and said "As you can see, Prince was very big back then". Andy is a four letter word. | |

Just give Esai the right make-up and "queen" him up, he would make a great Prince. Here he is looking slightly similar in "La Bamba" (of course he was playing a butch character LOL).....
