Obviously you don't let Prince any where near the script. Get a great director, writer team, use the basic idea of the Time being the Devil's band, Prince being God's band, make it more coherent, less indulgent. The film should be more than some indulgent, confused music video.

The film would be a war between good and evil. Good idea, right? lol

Might be a little hard for Prince to pull off a character called "The Kid" at 52. Would have to recast completely. Maybe Usher as the Kid, Lady Gaga as Aura, and Kanye as the rapper who keeps bugging the kid to let him rap. Chris Brown leads the Devil's Band and the two write nasty blogs about each other the whole movie. Justin Bieber could play the Tevin Campbell role and Cee Lo Green could take over for George Clinton. Usher and Chris Brown battle for Lady Gaga's afffections until she is hit by a jeep and turns into an egg. Usher,cast in beatific light, sings some sort of crappy Will. I. Am produced gospel song (based loosely on Eric Carmen's "Hungry Eyes") Chris Brown sulks off. Credits roll as Kanye finally gets to rap.

It could work as a feature-length cartoon to kick off Prince: The Animated Series. Something along these lines:

Good idea, actually. I am a big fan of Prince moving over a bit and mentoring young male performers as he has female performers. Recognize himself as the Teacher;-)

None of those people u just mentioned maybe except CeeLo. And a Big Hell NO to Kanye!

Otherwise A good idea. Spike Lee please.\

Peace.

Oh God..once was enough!!!!! That movie had no redeemer factor.

The acting, obviously wasn't so great. However, if Prince were to give all the footage and audio to an accomplished editor and let that person re-edit the movie, I bet it would make for a much better film.

As strong as the Purple Rain soundtrack was, if Prince had shot and edited the accompanying movie himself, it wouldn't have been nearly as well received by the critics and the general public.

Once was too much.

Remake? Maybe a Pt III . I just wish they hadnt killed off my apple scrapple Christopher Tracey. He and Tricky had more running to do!

I still like the movie and the album - dont care who rags them

They should not make a remake of Graffiti Bridge. If someone was seriously considering it, they should do this...

1. Change the story completely.

2. Hire real actors.

3. Have no music or live performances.

4. Have no mysitcal characters.

5. Have no beginning, middle or end.... in other words..... NO!

Who said Prince would be called the kid? This would be a different film. There would be no angel named Aura. The Bridge would be a way to get between heaven and hell.

Kanye could play the Devils leaderrr.yea.

Of course they should... and then destroy all copies of the old one.

I've never seen it...and maybe that's a good thing?

No, its best to let sleeping dogs lie.

No, you need to see it, it will make you appreciate other things he has done more.
