Hes done Purple Rain

Hes done Graffite Bridge
Then he gave us Under the Cherry Moon

But... who out there would like to see something new from the purple clad wonder in this media? Do you think he is capable of making us think and feel like he did with Purple Rain, Make us wonder as he did with Graffite Bridge, or even make us laugh like he did with Cherry Moon?
Would any one like to see Prince's return to the big screen?

Unless it's another concert movie, NO!

Another crack-up movie like UTCM would be great! If it was going to be anything like GB then I'd have to say no.

nope. just having him focus on making some great music would be fine with little ol' me.

and Graffiti Bridge did make me wonder... what the hell he was thinking!

no mo' movies from 'im!!

That's a bit harsh.Even with his 150,000 fanbase i reckon he could beat 'Gigli' at the box office!

Marrk said:

Yeah, but it's not like he's gonna create something as extraordianry as Purple Rain again.

mental pic of mani floppin down on the bed, lookin at prince and goin, "it's dove time...coo coo, beh-beh."

I think it would be cool if he popped up in some obscure, creepy, independent film as say, a gas station attendant in the middle of nowhere, or as a cab driver. Maybe a circus performer too.

like HBO's CARNIVALE mini-series?

oh dear god, NO!!

his acting skills are... mediocre at best, and since he refuses to let someone else write or direct, i would dread to see the results.

if he would let someone else write the script and someone else direct, then yes

I don't even know what that is. But, uh, yeah. Like that.

A Depression-era traveling circus circuits thru the Dust Bowl region. Heavy overtones of evangelical revivals and supernatural battles of good and evil. Very macabre; excellent viewing. No black people in it just yet.

I think he has lost or has changed too far in personality to be in a movie, take direction etc...

PFunkjazz said:

Looks creepy.

Perfect for Prince.

How about a "Willy Wonka" remake w/ Prince in the lead?

herb4 said:

Isn't Johhny Depp already doing that role?

i've often thought that Prince would do a good job in some animated movie... using that powerful voice of his and his quirky sense of humor.

what do you think? Pixar anyone?

Now that musicals are hot again ("Chicago","Moulin Rouge",etc),perhaps Prince could make a decent musical? But it could only work if he got a director and a writer to help him out with the script.

herb4 said:

I always thought, that back in the day..he would do that!!!
(someone else directing, of course...)

the purple ticket contest..with a tour of paisley park

would've been cool...but as I said "back in the day"

his mystique is gone!!

What about The Producers, He could play the part of the Accountant.

I would have luved to see him do a cameo in the Matrix re-loaded. He could have been one of the cats on the council of elders. Hell, everybody else was popping up left and right in the movie. He has the quirky look for it. I also think that he would have made a good Jedi. He looks good in capes and shit.

But, people would confuse him with the uummpa-lumpas. He is a short man after all. I can picture Prince singing this uummpa song: "Uummpa-lumpa, doopity-dee; I'm am Prince, so listen to me. If you are lost and need a hand; talk to my old pal, Larry Graham."

Yoda's father perhaps?

Dont 4get he had a minor role as the victim in the field in Fargo during the o(+> era!

JDINTERACTIVE said:

He was brilliant in that.
