Biopic on Prince - an old cast list I made

I found this in my archives. For shits & giggles, I had made up a cast list for a potential Prince biopic. Go easy - it was all in fun a few years ago.

.

Tentative cast listing:

  • Miguel - Prince
  • Donald Glover - Andre Cymone
  • Zoe Saldana - Sheila E. *
  • Erykah Badu - Denise Matthews / Vanity +
  • Eric Benet - Morris Day
  • Terrence Howard - Alexander O'Neal
  • Will Smith - Jerome Benton
  • Samuel L. Jackson - John L. Nelson
  • Anthony Anderson - Jimmy “Jam” Harris
  • Ne-Yo - Terry Lewis
  • Mia Maestro - Mayte Garcia
  • Octavia Spenser - Mattie Nelson Baker
  • Morris Chestnut - Hayward Baker
  • Bradley Cooper - Owen Husney
  • Justin Chatwin - Chris Moon
  • Kat Dennings - Wendy Melvoin
  • Emma Stone - Susannah Melvoin
  • Jennifer Lawrence - Lisa Coleman
  • Christina Ricci - Jill Jones
  • George Clooney - Steve Fargnoli
  • Jon Hamm - Robert Cavallo

* alternate Zoe Kravtiz

+ alternate Rosario Dawson

Bradley Cooper as Owen?..Strangely I could see that.....Kat as Wendy? Sure...Kat seems to have that "take no shit" persona too.

I don't think there's a movie there. He was far too insular and unknowable. And even the conflicts didn't really happen. The people he discarded didn't even start a vendetta, they just hung back, said nice things about him in interviews and broke their hearts when he died.

And nobody can play the lead. Nobody. Not even Joseph Fiennes.

EDIT: having said all that, I liked reading that cast list. It's a good 'un.

Your casting is quite funny and it is nice to see another shameless fan on the forum.
