Prince - aborted documentaries How many aborted documentaries are there?
There was 'The Second Coming' docu-drama and then another one from the Lovesexy era? Does anybody know how many would-be-official documentaries did not see the light of day (or partly)? Thanks, y'all. | |

you sure that wasnt Syd Barret? Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!

Sounds like they were joking about the last two, no? "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

"Graffiti Bridge" "The Dawn" "Dark Side Of The Moon" "The Robert Johnson Story" Of course,only "Graffiti Bridge" was completed. I remember this list because when I was young I was like "who the heck is Robert Johnson?". The one thing about Prince is he announce stuff all the time and we never here about it. I have a poster from Purple Rain and on the back there are smaller pictures and captions and one says Prince is writting Purple Rain II. ![]() ![]() Prime aka The Kid

Personally, if it's hours and hours of listening to Prince's scripted, nervous, New Power Talking Points, then I'm not interested. It was fun and entertaining when I was a teenager and in my ga-ga for Prince 20's, but the mysterious-sage-with-sexual-powers-act has run it's course.
I would LOOOOOVE to see a documentary where you get to see the creative process. Where you get to see him change his mind on the direction of a song, or even create something he isn't excited about. I would love to see how he works. And of course, ANY documentary of Prince should show him unscripted, warts and all. Otherwise it would be like asking the Bush Administration to do a documentary on the Iraq War. | |

So as aborted documentary stuff we have:
- The Second Coming (1982) - Lovesexy Tour documentary (1988) - Hit 'n' Run documentary (2000/01) Is that it, or are there other hidden jewels? | |

![]() I think it would have been an interesting project...would have given him a chance to play somebody else besides himself onscreen.Plus,we would have gotten a blues soundtrack from Prince! | |
