Never gonna happen. I think Warner will not do anything for the 20th. I think they have finally just written him off as a lost cause. Most of his back catalog is hard to find. UTCM is not out on DVD or SOTT or GB. I have heard rumors that Warner would rather wait till he is dead or until he comes crawling back after he fails as a Indy artist. I honestly think Warner is such a company that would do these things to ensure Prince NEVER gains popularity again.

IS THAT WHY I CAN'T FIND SOTT IN THE VIDEO STORES? THAT PISSES ME OFF!!! WHERE CAN I FIND SOTT BESIDES ON E-BAY?

How could They Ever Think these Scenes could be put into a Theatrical release. Did Prince really write these scenes or was it somebody else William Blinn,Albert Magnoli?

I was there when they filmed this and other scenes that never ended up in the movie. This happens a lot if you watch the trailers that come with many DVDs. They put the trailers together usually long before the final cut of the movie.

Here's what I wanna know Prince can I be in a Movie or video you wanna do? Just tell me what to do and I'm there. I just wanna work with Prince so if he tells me what he wants or needs I'm there. No auditions though and I Only talk to Him! Nobody else ever. Because Only him can get Me to do what he Must or what he needs. It would be only what his vision is. I would only listen to Prince and talk to no Underlings. I would work so well but Only at his disposal wish not Merely a worker of his. I think I'd Only Listen to Him and God even my parents would say Mazel Tov since I listen 2 No 1!

Actually,I think that scene appears in The Time's "Jungle Love" video and possibly,Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" video as well.Apollonia spends the night with Prince,but then Morris comes and takes her away while Prince is still asleep.That's why they're running through Prince's front yard!

Yeah, it's definately in the Let's Go Crazy video.
Not sure where you get a storyline out of this though.

Several years ago,Uptown did an extensive article on Prince's movies,and they explained all the missing scenes that were cut.

From what I understand, these scenes were originally intended for inclusion in the movie since they were filmed at the same time. The scene with Apples and Morris running along side the house were shot on the same night as the scene when the cops and paramedics go into the house. The Morris and Apples scenes were cut out prior to release of Purple Rain. The vids and the trailers were made before the final cut of the movie, thus the unexplained scenes.

The vids and trailers really should not have had scenes that were not included in the movie. It just worked out that way.

They should just release the DVD with the explicit scenes and rate it NC17.

You know what? I bet that,nowadays,those explicit scenes wouldn't even get an "X" rating.Alot has changed since 1984.A film like "Monster's Ball" received an R rating,so it's likely that the 'Purple Rain' scenes,explicit as they may be,probably wouldn't raise too many eyebrows in 2002.

I said that from the beginning. He can do anything he wants now. Release everything and just be 100% Nasty cause this is 2002.
