Prince Is Getting the Movie Musical Treatment: Everything We Know So Far
‘Black Panther’ director Ryan Coogler is reportedly making a Prince jukebox musical movie
Prince’s subsequent dramatic films (1986’s Under the Cherry Moon, 1990’s Graffiti Bridge and 1994’s 3 Chains o’ Gold) didn’t match the cultural, critical or commercial success of Purple Rain.

Jordan for an untitled Warner Bros. feature, set for a March 2025 release date. Coogler is working on a jukebox musical, one that will likely pull tracks from Prince’s entire discography (hopefully including some of Us ’ favorites, like “Kiss” from Parade, “Little Red Corvette” and “1999” from 1999, etc.)
