I would enjoy a cameo in another film. Something fun.

The Bride of Under the Cherry Moon!

Dig it:

Tricky, obsessed with the untimely demise of his late friend Christopher, has evicted all the tenants from his high-rise apartment complex in Miami, and turned it into a dark, spooky castle. He orders Katie (who never really had a mind of her own, anyway) out into the city to find a brain for Christopher's corpse, which Tricky has recently recovered through his nefarious underworld contacts.

Katie recovers the brain of the also-recently-expired Larry Graham, and brings it back to Tricky's spooky castle/laboratory. During a crashing storm of thunder and lightning, Chrisopher is brought back to life with a 'sea of electricity'.

Tricky cries, "Damn Chris, Damn! My man! You've returned". Chris croaks, "Shut up already, damn...", and rising from the table, takes his symbol guitar in his hand and groans, "I'm gonna kick me some Isaac Sharon ass." Then he shambles off for Nice, France (I don't know how he'll get there... maybe on a creaky old steamer boat, like in King Kong!).

But lo! Frustrated by a life of celibacy, the now-aged Mary Sharon has turned to a life of science as well, and has learned of the evil undead Christopher coming to lay the spooky smack down on her father. Does Dr. Mary Sharon destroy the abomination, cutting short its plan to murder a father that she, herself hates? Does she surrender to true love, justice, and the sight of Chris's reanimated butt in those sexy outfits?? Does Tricky allow her to take either course, or does he murder her first, so that he can once again have Christopher all to himself???

THRILLS!!!

CHILLS!!!

FRILLS!!!

I guess I just don't see how Prince is dark in the first place. I definitely couldn't see him singing about cutting up bodies and making meat pies.

eyewishuheaven said:

I would also like to add to this.
When Christopher boards the creaky and rickety steamboat to return to France, that should cue the song "Dead On It". For instance the part where he sings, "shall we go back? lets go."

This would also be the perfect opprotunity to properly feature the "wooden leg" walk, and have the reanimated zombiesque Christopher walk this way throughout the entire film.

Although it's fun to speculate on what a new Prince movie could be like,I really don't think Prince should do another movie.That ship has already sailed.

Wasn't there "The Official Sequel To Purple Rain (...Again)" rumour kicking about? Like he said he was going to do that relatively soon. Or someone said he said

KoolEaze said:

Tarantino is too racist and violent for Prince to be involved with - thankfully. Now Prince in a Spike Lee film would be gold (Lee directed one of Prince's videos for "Money Dont Matter"). It would be cool to see him play something different from himself - an ordinary person.

Brofie said:

**Tarantino is not racist but yes,his movies are violent.I doubt that Prince would be cool with that.

**There was talk about Prince and Spike doing a movie together...a "political musical".One of them mentioned it in an interview.

SoulAlive said:

How well does Prince take direction from other people? How long would Spikes friendship with Prince last when he started to "strongly disagree" with Prince's artistic vision?
I hate the fact that Graffiti Bridge is Prince's last movie and that his acting career ended on such a down note. However I don't know who Prince could be directed by where he took orders. Salma? I just don't know. Prince has such an unusual personality that he'd be perfect for a Tim Burton film IMO.

More crucifixion, I wish I could block you for even looking at my posts.

I would like to see him in a remake of cannon ball run doing Sammy Davis Jr's part, I have no idea who could Dean Martin's part.... maybe George Clooney?

Huggiebear said:

More "Boo hoo, I'm a victim, poor me. Let me crawl up on the cross" nonsense.

The question is "Don't you still wish Prince would make another movie?" You cited a book, a website, a CD in another country, and a falsehood, in that order. Gheez, talk about hijacking a thread. You've done it twice now.

I wish you could grow up and talk like an adult. It's so much better in big people's world, even those that jump on beds.

I still don't hate you. If you're ever stuck in the Mohave Desert again, call me.

I could relate to "Under The Cherry Moon" because he was a whore.

As for Prince making another movie today, it would be horrible. It would probably be much worse than "Grashitty Bridge". Prince's head is so far gone in his religion now it would probably be some film with a loony religious message about how the world should be and how it is worshipping wrong.

That would be awesome!

hollywooddove said:

That would be great.
Not Clooney though...it'd have to be someone just as quirky.
Johnny Depp???

RUHip2TheJive said:

I feel the same way about Prince being silly. I can't see how he would be believable in a modern comedy film unless it's a random quick cameo. But while watching "Sweeny Todd", I could see his face doing something serious/cold like this:







It's more the look of the character in the musical than the fact Sweeny Todd was a murderer. Todd reminded me of the Batman era in particular, when Prince's image was indeed blatantly "dark" (ironically, I guess, because of his involvement with a Tim Burton production). I don't know.

Deadflow3r said:

well,he did take direction from Albert Magnoli,the director of 'Purple Rain'

and yes,it's sad that 'GB' is his last movie.Prince was hoping that it would be the beginning of the second phase of his acting career.He had a few other movies that he wanted to make in the 90s..

The Robert Johnson Story---in which Prince would play the legendary blues artist
The Dark Side Of The Moon---a documentary of Prince's career
The Dawn---described as a street-oriented sequel to Graffiti Bridge.


but after 'GB' flopped,he had to settle for making video albums like 'Three Chains O Gold' and 'The Undertaker'.

Dude, just chill. All this is pointless. Let's move on and try to be human. Or we can continue to for shits and giggles. I'm not losing sleep over it, but it'd just be nicer to not have to argue with ya.

C'mere, with your mutton-chops-wearin'-and-jumpin'-on-the-bed-self:

SoulAlive said:

....uhm...I realize that my fandom level is going to drop by a few points for asking...but what is "the Undertaker"??? I Googled it and there's all sorts of discs and stuff in the search results that I'm not sure are legit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...Undertaker

This recording was made in a continuous single live-in-the-studio pass in collaboration with NPG drummer Michael Bland and bassist Sonny T. Prince originally intended to give this live CD away free with 1,000 copies of Guitar Player magazine in 1994 (uploading an original The Undertaker CD to iTunes, shows the year 1995 as the year the CD was "released"), but he was reportedly barred by Warner Bros. from doing so. Copies were leaked and bootlegged. The songs were guitar-heavy versions of rock and blues numbers, including a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women" and new recording of "Bambi" (originally from 1979's Prince). The title track was a cover of a song previously given to Mavis Staples, while "The Ride", "Zannalee", and "Dolphin" would all be re-recorded future releases. A video recording of the performance is in circulation with small edits throughout the performance and "Dolphin" replaced by the official video of the song from The Gold Experience.

Track listing

1. "The Ride" – 10:54
2. "Poor Goo" – 4:26
3. "Honky Tonk Women" – 3:00
4. "Bambi" – 4:49
5. "The Undertaker" – 9:50
6. "Dolphin" – 3:40

I have the japanese laserdisc of the Undertaker and the sound is incredible. I turn it up on that ridicuolous solo on Bambi.

Brofie said:

poor, poor Brofie, so intent on defending Prince that you will ignore facts to do so. how sad.

Brofie said:

I had a video cassette of it, but it got chewed up by my videoplayer years ago, remember I loved the Ride and Poor Goo, but the plot was unwatchable, along with the Undertaker.

There probably is no god but "please god no!".

He's a shit actor and no respectable director would ruin his reputation by enlisting him. Seriously he's not as good as Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves and we all know how unbelievably shit they are

One of my pet hates is wooden acting. Prince is so wood he's a bloody forest. Disney Club at best.

KoolEaze said:

That does not make a good actor. It's not about imitation, it's about making the character fully believable.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say....NO.


An HBO concert special with behind the stage footage of him joking around is all he need do.

Why do people keep forgettin' his best movie?? SIGN 'O' THE TIMES

??

That's the kind of new film that I WOULD KILL FOR. Imagine the possibilities of a current Prince show (LF/MPLS Tour) shot in IMAX or something like that, with a minimal yet worthy/interesting plot or staged interviews or whatever
