"...and If all of this Love Talk ends with Prince getting married to someone other than me, all I would like to do is give Prince a life size Purple Fabric Cloud Guitar that I made from a vintage bedspread that I used as a Christmas Tree Skirt." Tame, Feb

My opinion is that there should not be a Prince biopic.

How could any of us enjoy a Prince biopic of all things?

Someone else playing Prince and other familiar associates.

Overdramatization of certain facts for spectacular purposes, Hollywood style.

Overlooking many a thing we'll know for the sake of condensing 57 years in 2 hours.

I can't imagining it sounding anything but all wrong, totally, entirely WRONG to us hardcore fans.

I don't wanna watch any such thing. I probably will if they do it though but I'm pretty sure it will be a highly unpleasant experience sad

Animated. With authentic music, not re-recordings.

Lance Williams (LOL) - That fool in that horrible REELZ mess.

Questlove (Ahmir Thompson)

Kat Williams (So many of y'all have that surname)

Bruno Mars (Bad - but he does look like him a bit and has some (Cough cough) musical talent.

.

Some imitators like Alex Curvello and others.

I got plenty good loving for ya baby

It would actually be two actors if the pick up his story from twelve years old. If they ever do it I want it to be as good as Jamie Fox in Ray.
I am thinking it might have to be animated. Who could capture Prince’s passion and energy on stage throughout all his eras.

A thought: Not a bio but the m’Making of Purple rain Story. From Prince pitching the idea from his notebook written script to opening night.

Maybe Todd Haynes could pull this off? I loved how he portrayed Dylan in I'm Not There. It has to have some kind of style to it that is counter to the basic hollywood presentation. Otherwise, my interest is nonexistent in the same way I have zero interest in watching a Prince cover band.

So, who should play Prince? I dunno, ask Todd. If you can't get him, make it a documentary.
