I know ya'll are smoking a joint, but there is a difference between re-makes and sequels!

Imago and roodboi seem to be able to keep a clear head w/ all the smoke.

Prince: Ok, that's much better than the stuff, I'm used to.

Me: Of course, it is! You had to get with the real for me to be able to even deal with you and your shit!

Prince: I know. I've been ducking up, haven't I?

Me: Oh hell! Here, you smoke this one by yourself! When you inhale, go deep, take it to your diaphragm, then exhale slowly.

Prince: Ahhh, yeah! This is some good shit!

Me: There you go, much better! Now we can kick it! What the fuck is your problem?

Prince: I don't fucking know! Everyone around me just tells me how awesome I am no matter what.

Me: Keep inhaling, we've got lots to talk about.

The Kid wakes up one morning in his parents' basement. The entire "Graffiti Bridge" movie had been just a dream and the sequel to "Purple Rain" begins where the other movie ended. The Kid picks up a business card from a record executive who had seen him performing at First Avenue the night he had done the songs "Purple Rain", "I Would Die 4 U", and "Baby, I'm A Star". He calls the phone number, talks to the executive, and gets a recording contract with the major label which agrees to let him write and perform all the music his way.

His first album isn't really successful but his second album is somewhat successful so his label suggests that he tour to promote the album. He becomes the opening act for a wild and outrageous funk star who he soon learns he had better be outrageous himself to compete. He starts stripping on stage and has major conflicts with the tour headliner. He and the headliner become rivals for years to come and he records his very next album in the undewear he wore on the tour. He also becomes one of the most nasty, outrageous, and androgynous entertainers of his era.

He gets Morris and his band a recording contract at his label where he writes and records all their material. All they have to do is just sing the vocals and play the songs live in concert. He also starts a girls group.

His label allows him to make a major motion picture and the sequel to "Purple Rain" ends at the opening premier of The Kid's new movie.



I would have him go in the vault and get some unreleased tracks recorded in his early years up through "Purple Rain".





Everyone always thought The Kid had a thing for hispanic women but he had a secret that he was keeping from everyone. He really liked some hot hispanic men so I would cast Esai Morales as his love interest. Esai's character always wanted The Kid to go public with their relationship but The Kid never would do it for fear that it would ruin his career. Esai's character argued with The Kid constantly about it but there was nothing he could really do about it because he had signed a confidentiality agreement with The Kid when they first started dating.

Morris had walked in on The Kid and his gay lover soon after he dumped Apollonia so he knew the Kid's dirt. When the Kid became famous, Morris tried to blackmail him. That's when The Kid got Morris and his band a recording contract with his label but he made Morris sign a confidential agreement prior to getting his recording contract.

Let's say it's 1987 and Warners wants me to do a sequal to Purple Rain.

And let's say I decide to give you full artistic control over the project.

1) what would the plot be?

After the Kid and his band reign supreme at First Ave, they continue to do so for a while. They do enough shows to garner interest from the recording industry. This, of course, infuriates the Time, who, from internal stress, decides to disband.

Morris decides to go to the Taste to drink and clear his head and hear some new bands (them being Mazarati, TaMara and The Seen, etc...) and he runs across Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, two aspiring producers. They all talk, while giving hints to Morris that his time is up in the industry and that the new band they are producing, The Family, is more than happy to take the Time's place in MLPS's heart. Morris pays this no mind, until later on, when he discovers that Jerome and Jellybean have truly jumped ship onto Jam/Lewis' cruise.

Meanwhile, ther are internal subplots within the Revolution: Wendy and Lisa become a bigger piece of the sound of the band, as the Kid has loosened the reigns in this regard. BrownMark actually HAS lines in this one, more or less comedic-styles bantering with Matt Fink. Bobby Z. is upset over the use of drum machines and he and the Kid work it out in the end.

On the love side of things, the Kid breaks up from Apollonia. Apples and the girls bascially follow the pattern of "Sex Shooter" and that's the story of them. After the breakup, the Kid is in a slight destructive mode (also in the story, it is revealed that his dad dies from complications and his mom goes to a home), when Jill Jones saves him and the day, when it comes to love...

With the record plot, the PR guy sees a bad Revolution performance, yet sees a great Family performance and offers them the deal instead. This of course, brings things to it's climatic point. The Kid, believing this was the work of Morris, confronts and fights him.

In the end, Billy dies, and everyone gets together for a big jam out. And all of this leads into Graffiti Bridge.

2) Would you keep the same sountrack?

The soundtrack would encompass the music of that time, the 85-87 period.

3) Who would cast as my adoring love interest?

Jill Jones, man

4) How would you promote the movie?

Like always...with OVERLOAD!! TV ads every break, MTV promotions, BET promotions, magazine ads, magazine interviews, Red Carpet Events, a SLAMMIN Conglomerate soundtrack, etc.

Now, let's roll another blunt...
