Wait hold up...Even Prince couldnt get Nursey's

I've always thought Marcus looks more like Morris but I witness entire Madison Square Garden and London O2, go crazy over him. Loved the sided eye that Prince gave him at PP.

I just hope that Hollywood doesn't come up with the crazy idea of remaking the Purple Rain movie!

Didn't they already do that and call it 8 Mile?

There are things in life I do not want top see, or even hear or read about it. And that would be a Prince biopic. Never ever. No sir...nuffsaid.

I second this. PLEASE, God, don't ever let it happen...

People it's 2016. You could only make a truly lifelike Prince movie with a CG modified actor to play Prince. Because part of Prince is his EXACT look down to the millimeters of his features. You'd have to pull some James Cameron/David Fincher level CG lifelike obsessive technology leaps (and splits). Fuck this theatrical notion of someone playing Prince! You see what happens when someone plays Micheal Jackson on a TV movie? It's ridiculous. Like watching a middle school play. Like watching an "In Living Color" skit. Camp.

The only way it would ever work to have an actor play Prince is to wait until we are all dead so we can't boo that shit off the screen. Because we saw the real thing.

I can't quite imagine whata film would be about.

Maybe a more realistic version of Purple Rain without the villians or much drama?

Ok, still disturbed by the kid from Heroes

I was actually wondering if someone could make a good musical? I know it could be insanely terrible, but if done right could actually be quite moving.

I am firmly against a biopic right now or really ever. You cant fit the major parts of a massive albeit tumultuous 37 year career into a 2 hour movie. If a story of Prince is told and I sincerely hope it is not, the narrative must be a mini-series. A 4 week and 12 part mini-series on either HBO, Showtime, or Netflix. When it comes to the actor who portrays prince, a total unknown would be needed. I dig Jussie Smollett and I thought at first that he would be great in a Prince biopic but then common sense paid a visit to me. We are talking about a gay man portraying Prince, you know the cat who proclaimed for years that he loved pussy. Jussie wouldnt have any sexual chemistry with any of the female leads and that alone kills the narrative automatically. I am sure that I do not have to say this but you cannot accurately tell the story of Prince's life without including the women. The women were the muses for some of Prince's best songs. The women had a profound effect on Prince's life even after they were out of it for years. Maybe I am wrong and Jussie is bisexual and can pull the narrative off accurately but this is too big a story to take such a risk with. I mean look at what happened with "50 shades of grey". No sexual chemistry and universally panned by critics and in some instances, a flop. How do you make a movie about BDSM and have the 2 leads be more dull than cold fish? Uggh I digress. Anyway back to Prince, an unknown should play the man. I think Aldis Hodge could pull off the role but he would need makeup to make him look lighter.

If a mini-series does happen, these things must be covered:

1. The backstory and origin of Prince's name.

2. Prince's birth and often chaotic childhood.

3.Prince's relationship with his parents and siblings.

4.How close Prince was to the brother who convinced him that he had talent but who ended up in a VA hospital after Vietnam. I think that was alfred.

5. The beginning of Prince's career which would start with the groups that he formed in high school like 94 east.

6. Prince being kicked out of his house and basically being adopted by Andre Cymone's mother.

7. The partnership between Chris Moon and Owen Hunsey(sp?).

8. The success of the first album and the flop of the second album. The backstory of what happened on American Bastard. The early battles with WB starting with the fact that they wanted Maurice White to produce those early albums and Prince was not going for it.

All of the aforementioned would cover the late 50's,the 60's, and the 70's portion of the mini-series.

Here is what would need to be covered in the 80's portion of the mini-series:

1. The backstage drama during the making of "Purple Rain".

2. The fact that Congress wanted to censor all of Prince's albums and the fallout from that.

3. The beginning and breakup with The Revolution.

4. The creation of all the side groups...you know like Vanity 6 and The Time.

5. The relationship with Vanity and how her departure dramatically changed "Purple Rain" and altered the course for her band.

6.The Engagement to Susannah. The making of "Sign Of The Times". The backstory of "Wally" and why it was destroyed.

7. The beginning of the vault and the backstory of how it came to be.

8. The making of "UTCM".

9. The feud with Rick James. ❤

10. The relationship with Anna Garcia.

11. The firing of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

12. The relationship with Brenda Bennett and Susan Moonsie.

13. The backstage drama during the lovesexy tour. The relationships with Boni Boyer(sp?) and Cat Glover and Sheila E.

14. The making of "lovesexy".

15. The death of Boni Boyer(sp?) and how that affected Prince emotionally.

16. The relationship with Kim Basinger and the backstory of how Prince got hooked up with scoring music for the "Batman" soundtrack.

17. The beginning seeds for the NPG.

18. Meeting a 16 year old Mayte.


All of the aforementioned would cover the 80's portion of the mini-series. Here is what would be shown in the 90's portion:

1. The beginning of the NPG.

2. The fall of Paisley Park Records.

3. The fight with WB.

4. The relationships with Nona,Carmen, and Mayte.

5. The love/hate relationship with MJ.

6. The loss of Gregory and how that drastically altered the course of Prince's life.

7. The beginning and end of the glam slam clubs.

8. The backstory of "Emancipation" and how the 3 disc masterpiece came about.

9. Prince's impact on the internet. Prince was the first artist to have a streaming service of sorts. Prince was one of the first artists to interract with fans through social media via the aol chatroom.

10. Signing a deal with Clive Davis and how that didnt exactly go as planned.

11. The conversion of Prince to Jehovah Witness.

12. The backstory of that squiggly little line thingie that Prince changed his name to.

13. The breakup of the marriage to Mayte.

All of the aforementioned should cover the 90's portion of the mini-series. Here is what needs to be covered in the 2000's portion:

1. The ravein2 concert

2. The emotional fallout that came from divorcing Mayte.

3. Prince losing his parents within 6 months of each other and the emotional fallout from that.

4. The marriage to the rebound aka Manuela and how that fizzled out as soon as it began.

5.The dark ages from 2001 to 2004 when Prince was releasing mediocre albums that were not well received by the public.

6.The backstory of "Muaicology" and how it resurrected a career that was considered dead by the public.

7. The backstory of the ill fated Kevin Smith documentary.

8. The divorce from the rebound.

9. The performances with Beyonce.

10. The rumoured literally 5 minute reunion with Mayte.

11. Hooking back up with Sheila for a spell and then falling out with her again.

12. The superbowl performance.

I am not sure what the 2010's would cover. 3rdeyegirl is not really a major Prince band like the NPG and The Revolution were. Most people outside of maybe hardcore stans consider "Musicology" to be Prince's last really great album so the ones made afterwards might not matter much in a mini-series. I suppose the backstory of the "new girl" episode could be covered. The partnership with Tidal could be covered but that association was so brief and the site is universally hated. The Piano and A Microphone tour should definitely be covered. The reunion at Vanity's funeral with Apples and Brenda and Susan should be covered. I do not think that Prince's death should be covered in any mini-series at least until we get the 100 percent accurate truth on him and even then....no just no. Prince apparently died in such a terrible fashion and nobody needs to see that play out on screen EVER. I will never believe that Prince was a hardcore dope fiend so that bullshit should not be covered. I think that the final shot of the mini series should be Prince ascending into Heaven and being reunited with his family and every musician who ever influenced him. Depending on what you believe, everyone looks as though they are 30 in heaven. Basically Prince would look like he did during the lovesexy era while dancing into heaven!

Once the mini-series is over, a 2 to 4 hour retrospective should follow. The retrospective should consist of interviews from people who really knew Prince and were around him during the pivotal moments of his life. The interviews should also be from fans who met Prince and they should reflect on how that experience affected their lives and how his music affected their lives. The retrospective should end with these various shots of the handmade memorials for Prince that are scattered all around the world. People crying and lighting candles and the laying flowers at various memorials. People being united in their love for Princey! ❤

I understand that Prince was a very private man but if people who knew him are involved in a mini-series, his story will be told the right way. Afeni Shakur,Jada Pinkett Smith, and Keyshia Cole are involved in "All Eyez On Me" and they loved him and they are going to make sure that film is done properly and it will be a hit. Faith Evans and Violetta Wallace were involved in "Notorious" and they made sure B.I.G's story was told properly even though that movie was not a colossal hit. I think that the same thing could happen with a Prince mini-series and it would be a hit if the story is told properly.

This guy could pull it off. He's a magician/mentalist guy I follow on instagram.
He's a huge prince fan as well. Even though hes white, Some of his pics are spot on

It couldn't be done. Prince is simply too unique. No one could get the look and the behaviour down enough to be believable.

I think a female actress could do it. I don't think a male actor could.

It would blow a major big one. Having some pretty boy with some makeup on and heels prancing around would piss people off majorly. Not feeling the need for the tragic mulatto thing which is what it would turn into because that what sells. Nope not looking for the tragedy of the week angle, especially right now.
