I think Grasffiti Bridge was an attempt at a sort of quasi-sequel to PR. And, well, the less said about that the better.

Graffiti Bridge was the sequel. Which shat upon everything Purple Rain did/set in place..

It was released in 1990. It's called Graffiti Bridge

I am not talking about Graffitti Bridge. I am talking about the movie that was announced about 2 years ago. The talk at the time was that Prince was very serious & it was a sure thing.

at this point,a Purple Rain sequel would be ridiculous What more could happen?

The Kid and Larry Graham team up and decide to battle the evil forces (Morris and the Time)??

It’s probably been filmed, edited, color corrected, and locked away in the vault along with most of Prince’s movies.

This sounds more like a horror movie

Way back in the day I wrote a synopses of a script for a Purple Rain sequel that I thought would've been a good movie.

It took place after the Purple Rain movie and in the sequel he's blown up to stadium level success, but things are not all well. He's constantly battling with his girlfriend played by Paula Abdul (She'd just done Rush Rush and I thought it was THE Sh!t when it came out), a successful singer in her own right and he's slowly sinking into alcohol and drug abuse and a strong rivalry with another huge star that is out at the same time who Prince suspects of biting his style.

After Paula leaves him and after a difficult but successful stint in rehab he returns to an uncertain stage to try and win back the good graces of his fans. Of course he does and the movie ends just like Purple Rain did, with a mini-concert performance.

There's no TIME in the movie but there is a tearful, heartfelt call made to Appolonia, who's found love and happiness with another man.

Oh and Prince does all the music of course.

There was someone on the org (was it Soul?) who had their own concept of a sequel called "The Dawn"... (back in 1985 that was the rumoured title to the sequel)...but the concept sounded like it would have been a good flick and WAY better than "Graffiti Bridge".

I don't think it was ever 'announced'.

And I don't recall seeing any evidence to suggest this was anything more than unsubstantiated gossip.

Are you talking about that planned 3121 movie?

interesting.....although part of the story (the part I highlighted) sounds like 'A Star Is Born'

I remember several ideas that I came up with.Here's one Let's assume that GB never happened,making this the "real" sequel".It's a gritty,urban drama filled with music.

*Prince and Morris Day are now huge stars living in Los Angeles.

*Can they turn things around in their old town?

I don't know what you're talking about and you don't seem to have a source to show what you're even talking about. I've never heard Prince talk about a Purple Rain 2 or any movie for that matter. After GB was his 2nd failed movie it looks like he gave up acting all together. Hell he can't/won't even reunite with the Revolution and he won't let The Time use the name and I don't even know if he's on speaking terms with Appolonia or if she would even be interested so how is a sequel gon' happen.

I wish the "Camille" project materialized before GB. That film had a real "Fight Club" feel to it. The story was alot more interesting than the mumbo jumbo in GB.

The "Star Is Born" formula has been used a few times hasn't it? I believe even "Purple Rain" was compared to it. And "8 Mile".

In my version career jealousy with Paula Abduls character isn't the sourse of the tension, it's the rivalry with the other artist he feels is ripping him off. It's a fictional take on the Michael Jackson rivalry from back in the day. The career derailment due to drugs you can say is reminiscent of "The Rose" and "Lady Sings The Blues".

Hey I didn't say it would be original, all it needs is a killer soundtrack (hopefully a next step from Purple Rain) to sell it.

Elaborate please.

I'm not familiar with this "Camille" project.

This!

I have no interest in a new Prince movie (unless it's a documentary with someone who is NOT PRINCE in charge), but man, I'd love to go back in time and see a Purple Rain-ish movie made during the Dirty Mind era... can you imagine???

I like the idea of Paula Abdul being the co-star
