Oh well, too many people are losing interest in anything to do with Prince

I'm glad that it's been settled. Move on to other projects. It's just one of many projects about Prince that won't see the light of day. Hell, Prince canned projects he had days from release. This is nothing new. Keep it moving.

I am sad and disappointed but not entirely surprised it has come to this. What a complete waste of time, effort and money. I wish Primary Wave would grow a spine, and exert some control

You mean moving on to PR part 2, because that's the focus of this year.

Expect part 3 next year and McMillions documentary

Exactly. Some people were interested in that documentary, but I guess most of us are interested in the music. So this is as good as it gets. Let's move on.

Personally I have zero interest in a new Estate-approved puff-piece documentary. Why even bother?

The 9 hour Netflix thing will definitely get leaked eventually. That one, I AM interested in.
But I'm a lot more interested in some new music releases.

"Prince’s estate and Netflix reach an agreement to quash the nine-hour project..."

i wonder what this "quash" is?
Did they mean "squish"?
"extinquish"
perhaps, "crush"?
i like "squash"

i, like probably many, will wait for the "bootleg" docu, paralleling our fandom of leaked Prince content!

Thanks, Mr. Jones!

“The Vault has been freed,” Prince’s account on X declared Thursday.

This quote

"...They said that the Edelman film concentrated on Prince’s sex and drugs but not on his rock and roll."

So everything I said about that documentary was eventually right. What a surprise...Logic is the truth. Now, if the vault was free, why couldn't they announce the next release at the same time? Not enough time to think about it, really ? Ezra Edelman is really a douche for having made us waste 3 or 4 years with that damned documentary. Not really smart. I guess his career on Netflix is dead Now. If they can't trim 6 hours out of this 9h Doc, it must have been pure bashing all along.

Seems like it. People keep bemoaning the fact that we are going to get an "estate endorsed" doc. This was SUPPOSED to be that, no? Anyways, just get Questlove to do it or Spike. I don't need to "break the mystique or persona" of Prince. I just want a comprehensivve reintroduction of his Royal Badness that's designed for the world and the 21st Century. Is that too much too ask ?

Apparently Edelman began working on the Doc in 2019(!), After the previous director was fired / got away from the project ( which seems to be doomed). Edelman was led to believe he had complete editorial control. The New estate heard the Doc was all about trash ( someone's interviewed told them the questions were mainly about drugs, psychological and physical abuse against women), and then blocked him the Access to the Vault. Nevertheless, Edelman still went forward with his trash, among them Prince being abused by one of his uncle.

If that's true, I'm glad he isn't getting his five years back.

EXACTLY! This was supposed to be an documentary review of his career. It turned into a postmortem crucifixion. After hearing Michael Bland I'm convinced they were about to R Kelly Prince.

Yes it was definitely a good idea to cancel the documentary.

Quest said it was a great show. So did everyone who has seen it.

No he didn't, and I take your comment to incite "revelations" that dont need to be said.

part of Quests comments:

The musician and Oscar-winning film-maker Questlove features in the film, and told Weiss after seeing it: “It was a heavy pill to swallow when someone that you put on a pedestal is normal. Everything's here: he's a genius, he's majestical, he's sexual, he's flawed, he's trash, he's divine, he's all those things …
