Purple Rain: Starring Ne-Yo?

“[I’m] still reading over scripts trying to figure out what’s gonna be the next move. Fox Atomic has another movie in development right now for me that’s kind of going to be along of the lines of a current-day Purple Rain . . . Like me playing the role of Prince, and then I don’t know who they’re getting for the other roles. But the script is being written for me right now.”

People say stuff like that all the time.

They talk about scripts and movies they're supposed to do or may have coming out and it never happens.

File that BS under that.

This is hilarious.Why would they be writing a movie for Ne-Yo to star in? He might be a has-been before the film even gets made lol

Now I've been on a self-imposed Artist I Used To Love As Prince boycott for a while now but this was enough to make even me go WTF?

Leave it alone Ne-Yo, just stick to doing you, Boo Boo!
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

I don't see why everyone is so up in arms over this. He wasn't comparing himself to Prince. He was just saying that he got a script that was similar to Purple Rain. I'm sure musicians have received scripts like that since Purple Rain first came out. He's not actually gonna be in a Purple Rain Remake so breathe easy and retract your nails!!!

Purple Rain has been the template for musicians in movies since it was released.

As for Ne-Yo being a has been. I think he's a hell of a songwriter, and if his career out front tails off. He can be a songwriter & producer behind the scenes for as long as he wants to.

Let's see... Re-make 'Purple Rain' and remove Prince music from the equation. The thought of what that leaves us with frightens me deeply.

It's amazing how these new artists have one or two hit singles,and suddenly they think they're movie stars lol "I'm still reading over scripts"....

At least Prince waited until he had done 5 albums before he decided to go this route.He made sure he had a large following.What's next...Ciara re-making 'A Star Is Born'? LOL

Still,it seems premature for him to be talking a 'Purple Rain'-like movie at this point in his career.He's done what...two albums?!

I said to my friends the other day we will officially be old once they make a movie about the life of Prince! This hopefully is not approaching that.

That's the exact thing people were saying about Prince back in the day. He wasn't a big enough star to headline a movie. Hell, he didn't even have a #1 single at the time. Movie studios were turning down Purple Rain left & right.

I'm not saying that Ne-Yo compares to Prince in any way, shape, or fashion. I'm saying it's completely normal for him to receive a script that's similar to Purple Rain.

I understand that,but remember,by late 1983 (when Purple Rain began filming) Prince was already on his way to being a superstar.He had a large,devoted following and there was alot of "buzz" surrounding him.I just don't see the same thing with Ne-Yo.Yes,he's had a few hits and I know he's written some songs for other artists but he seems to be a boring personality.Just can't see why Hollywood is calling for him.
