Unnamed Prince biopic project (not real)

About three years ago, on my blog I posted a cast list I can come up with for any Prince biopic. I ran across it today while searching for a non-Prince post. Here's what I had come up with on May 17, 2013. Here is/was my 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


I'm sure everyone's going to have issues with whatever role & actor, but it's an interesting take, I think, on potential players. Yes yes I know "no one can play Prince", "I hope there's not a Lifetime movie" (I'd agree on both counts). But it's all in good fun.
