There is no way someone who's in charge of an estate artist legacy, would greenlight something that shed some controversy on him. Londell is a dick, but all in all, any other estate would have act like him ( more subtly, less publicly, but still). There are still good money to make out of Prince. In Hollywood, Nobody would like to make a movie about someone who punches women in the face, and treated her like shit. That's the whole thing. This ain't just about that doc. It will be really interesting to see how the children molestation accusations will be treated in the MJ biopic movie. | |

Or straight outta compton on nwa, whose dr dre was famous for physical abuse. All diff stories tbh, but none were shining knights in their romantic relationships. | |

He s is dead such a long time ago... Jerry Lee Lewis is a minor artist, is there one or two fan somewhere? NWA, that s US hip hop, they rely on violence in their music to sell, so nobody expect them to be nice little rabbits in private. All these biopics didn't need to greenlighted by their estate to be released. | |

Point is, Hollywood made films on them. And they were big releases. James brown too. Who was no perfect husband and partner. So your idea that Hollywood wont do films on violent musicians is plain wrong. | |

Londell/the estate are just being overly paranoid.Fans already know that their favorite artists aren't saints.We know that they're only human and that they have flaws just like everybody else.
Release the documentary and then let's move onto another project.Maybe we could still get an SDE before year's end.

Bream: I was grilled for 6 hours by the director of the controversial Prince documentaryDirector Ezra Edelman’s nine-hour authorized series may never come out because Prince’s estate objects to its content.
DuVernay exited the Prince project for “creative differences” in 2019. Edelman, best known for the Oscar- and Emmy-winning 2016 documentary “O.J.: Made in America,” came on board with his own vision. Not necessarily a Prince fan, he wanted to learn as much as he could — warts and all — before framing his planned six-part documentary. He had access to all the unreleased recordings, concert footage and ephemera in Prince’s vault.

All Bream's really saying is he was reluctant to participate and had no insights to add. Of course, Edelman was frustrated. Bream was wasting his time. Sounds like Edelman knew more about Prince than Bream did. [Edited 9/15/24 9:33am] FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

So, when L.M. Millions says "NOT releasing it! DONE", he's also saying we wont be getting any new SDE's, because then Netflix can also say "NOT releasing it! DONE"? Of course, I suppose the Estate can buy themselves out of the contract by returning every penny they got from Netflix, but I somehow doubt Mr. L.M. Millions is willing to part with the millions.

So your idea that Hollywood wont do films on violent musicians is plain wrong. As I already said,when JB died nobody-already- cared. The only one who cared was MJ, who came back from his retreat in Bahreïn to say goodbye to JB. That was about all. No surge in sales, airplay, etc. Get on Up was a flop. Cost 30M $+ in production, worldwide box office at 33M$ Soundtrack peaked at #61 Billboard. | |

I just shown that nobody cared about JB, Miles Davis and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Their fanbase is about zilch, or may I just say for Miles that his audience is not ready to spend money on this. Now clearly one might think that a Prince biopic could draw a bigger audience, could do 100's of millions $ at the BO. Prince fans could take their kids to the theaters, etc. They're just waiting to see how the MJ biopic would perform. If that's a fucking success, you can be sure there will be a Prince movie as well.

Depends on what the contract stipulates. If he can only hold it up due to length, I think Netflix cuts it down and leaves in whatever it wants. But no studio wants a subject’s estate badmouthing a project before release and dissuading people from viewing. So I think Netflix is likely trying to come to a compromise before hitting the nuclear option and finding a way to release even if estate is unhappy with content. If they do cut it, maybe a complete version comes out later or never at all. Doubt it will leak though. Honestly, at 9 hours I can’t imagine there isn’t a great 6 hour version in there. I’d be fine with that. I don’t need the segment on the Hall of Fame performance of Guitar Gently Weeps for example. That can hit the cutting room floor to make room for other things. | |

No, I just said that obviously Londell thinks he can make good money out of movie, and that a bad rep and bad buzz could cancel that, or in the end, earning him less money. Prince is not in JLL, JB or Miles Davis category. Their music was listened to your grandfather, now Prince was more current. | |
