If there was a Trilogy to "Purple Rain"...... I know we all Love the movie "Purple Rain"....
The movie has everything music,love,the revolution and a pretty good story line and it off set one of the best albums in Prince's career. you just cant help but love it!! Now I know we have a lot Of mixed opinions when it comes to the sequel "Graffiti Bridge" Although a lot of people think it horrible and I have to admit parts are... I dont know... I find a lot of appreciation for Prince in that movie (Plus he looks sexy as hell) I think It comes down to me liking the Graffiti Bridge album so much thats why I love it.. But I was thinking what If Prince decided to put himself back Into the lime light and decided to make another movie. A Trilogy to "Purple Rain" What do you think he would call it? What do you think the Plot would be? Do you think he would have another album based off of it? like he has the last two? Who would you want to star in it? And what kind of scene would be the setting for it? (more of an artsy/retro vibe possibly?)what would be your expectations before seeing it? Anyway I know this probably wont happen but I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss (I'm guessing this has probably crossed some of your minds perhaps?) insatiable3: how can i cure my hangover?

They should entitle it, "Like Father, Like Son" and make it about how he turns out to be just like Francis L. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Like you said, I doubt it'll happen but it would be cool.
In it, "The Kid" could have quit playing music and gone into seclusion for the sake of spiritual growth. Meanwhile, music has gone to the dogs. There's a new band on the scene that's using his style and his music, dumbing it down and getting rich off of it. This, along with a beautiful new singer asking for The Kids help, convinces him to come out of hiding and school everybody on what real music is. That could work, I think. | |

No. Just No.
That's both what I think should happen, and title suggestion in the event that it did happen. | |

It should have been called LoveSexy and had Prince giving up his fame and fortune for a long lost love....Vanity should have played the role. Prince could be this Elvis like phenom with an uncontrollable ego. Morris would still be struggling at First Ave and would have built up an all consuming hatred for P even though they were once friends. You see there was this shady bidness deal.
Apples would have married P but he would have treated her badly thus forcing her to commit suicide. She would be this tragic Ophelia type character having given up all her dreams for P only to have him cheat on her and treat her like trash. I could go on....Kind wrote this shit before but well....powers that be.  | |

oh lawd, this would be great! 
SCENE ONE: Blackness everywhere, slowly revealing moonlight on a slick, wet, city street. Like in the beginning of Free from 1999, you hear footsteps and as it gets brighter you notice a thin layer of fog and mist swirling slowly and magically just above the street. The moonlight shining down on the mist cast a lavender purple hue. Then you hear a very faint flute sound in the distance, along with the footsteps, and just barely detectable the sound of a marching drum. Slowly, ever so slowly the drums and flute sound catch up to the volume of the footsteps and shaddows start to carve up the glowing purple mist and slick shiny road below. Suddenly, Prince appears wearing purple along with his new band, all dress in purple, and Prince's hair looks totally different. Like it's glowing in the moonlight. Like it's sparkling. Indeed, it's..... gold 
Then he chimes in "We come in the name of the Purple & Gold" Marque appears on the screen: "Purple & Gold" ----- Basically, it would be a redemption story in which Prince, having been recently struck by lightening realizes he has powers of re-animation. He brings back Aura from the dead as well as his father, and attempts to create a 'digital garden' where they all can live in peace. Prince names his digital Garden 3121. And it is a seeming Utopia. But it's all an illusion. Indeed, Just next door, a newer, greater, sexier digital garden named Digital Jerkout has been constructed by Prince's arch enemy, Morris & the Time. Aura, despite being the incarnation of an angel (the fact that angels aren't exactly 'living' isn't explained in the story. Nor is the fact that she was killed as an angel, then Prince resurrected her. However, we're assuming the audience wont' care.), she still succumbs to wanting to get drunk and high with Morris and the boys in the other digital garden. Will Aura become just another rainbow children hood rat? Will the kid ever being able to have a dance-off in the streets to prove his skills? Will he have his day??!?!?!? And why is Francis L. back from the dead anyways? He's got a revolving door of naked banished one honeys and he beats them and has sex with them. This movie will be very similar to Graffiti Bridge, but with a religious angle, and styled sort of like Barberella. Also, the music will be a totally dope mix of fushion jazz, rockabillie elements and extended hip hop interludes. . [Edited 3/8/10 23:08pm] | |

Aura is resurrected as Larry Graham and we experience 90 minutes of The Kid learning "The Truth" and a subsequent doorstep conversion of Morris Day. | |

I'd like to see e Prequal to Purple Rain instead. Prince's first split followed by a trip to the emergency room, working on his now infamous scream but sounding like a 12 year old girl being chased by the boogieman, jumping off his dad's piano followed by the worst beating of his life...the possibilities are endless! Is Gary Coleman available? Christopher damn! | |

I had an idea 4 this one a while back.....it was called 'Sugar Rain' and showed how 'The Kid' had finally made it in the music business, but when a friend of his dies after a drugs overdose he disappears & leaves it all behind. He then spends the next few years playing small bars & clubs around the country, under a new name, until a young woman named Eve tracks him down and asks him 2 come 2 her school & teach some inner city children how to play some 'real music'.
He goes with her, sees that the kids have some real talent but are too bogged down by today's standards of 'sampling everything but not playing anything'. He shows them how to play and they enter a competition- a battle of the bands kind of thing. The kids win the competition, and The Kid is rediscovered by the world again and is asked to do a comeback concert- which he does, with the kids as his band That's just a brief outline of the full idea (I actually started writing this down before I put it away and 4got about it) | |

I think any sequel would have to have Prince primarily in a mentoring role - either teacher, father, or producer of a younger act.
What would be interesting is if they incorporated some real-life criticisms into the movie ("he's a has-been", "he can't make a hit song anymore") and have Prince overcome that in the movie. As in, while he's producing another act, he's secretly recording his comeback album after-hours. Another take would be to have a son show up out of nowhere (Apollonia's, maybe) and need direction. |

would he be 50 years old playing in the same club still trying to make it big? Or would he be a former star back in the same club trying to regain his popularity?
His fictional career didn't really progress in the years between Purple Rain and Graffiti Bridge. [Edited 3/10/10 19:07pm] |

BOTL...I am a screenwriter looking at some interesting things and talking to some people. Guess what...they're listening. Without going into too much, I'm looking at a storyline involving the early 80's Minneapolis world of Prince.
A great, saucy storyline that I'm just not at liberty to give away yet. If you look behind the scenes of this stuff, the stories that were created are classics. Terry and Jimmy Jam, Jesse Johnson, The Time, the Family, Vanity 6. There's so much to explore. Not a "Purple Rain Three" but a much more refined and focused story looking at several relationships and conflicts that arose. | |
