Lakeith stanfield is likeable, and he picks cool films, but can he act? He literally does the same thing every time ive aeen him pretty much lol

Basically just crying out for a good stoner comedy to star in

So The Estate gave permission to use a Prince classic to fool with, why not...

NO idea what what this movie is about but, this is what is needed. We have to deliver Prince's music via Holywood Movies. If the Estate were smart, they'd allow more of this....

True, he doesnt have the greatest range as an actor...but he picks great scripts that accentuate his quirky persona

Doesn't WB still own Purple Rain (and Parade, Batman and Graffiti Bridge) ?

they need to license to video games, movies, tv shows really.

not indiscriminately, but those things help.

I'm not sure.

At some point Prince got his masters back... right?

The WB dispute?

But i'm a nitwit when it comes to contracts and legal terms.

We have Bizzie for that kind of important shit.

Is it that WB owns the masters for the soundrack albums? Or have they been licensed the distribution rights? There's a difference.

For example, Sony doesn't own the masters for Prince's non-soundtrack albums. They have an exclusive license to distribute them.

I just hope the licensing for distribution, but I seem to rememeber that Prince got everything exept the soundtracks and associated artists from the WB years from WB.
WB has the licensing right to all albums up to Emancipation and Sony got evrything from Emancipation to the end.
