Yet another sign the world is coming to an end: Neyo in a Purple Rain remake?
Posted by Miss Info under beef , hmmm....? , not good for humanity , outrage[17] Comments
Sign that Neyo is not in touch with reality….
He is able to fix his mouth to say the following….
“[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.”
(from the Premiere Prep news service)
I blame Fox Atomic for being too lazy to develop their own original movie concept. And I blame Neyo for not having the self-awareness to punch the Fox Atomic d-boy or d-girl straight in the eye for suggesting this project.
No disrespect to this…
….but I’d rather see this.

“kind of going to be along of the lines of a current-day Purple Rain”, sounds different to me than “a remake a purple rain.”

Miss Info,
I think you’re wrong on this one.
It would be dope.
The actual story line of Purple Rain is open enough for it to be engaging. It’s not that different from other dramas.
It’s basically like this:
-Man wants to be a star so he makes a band
-The local band at the top are haters
-Man crushes on the girl of the lead singer
-Overcoming odds, he makes a hit song inspired by his love for the girl
-Man finally gets the girl FOREVER!

Can we all just acknowledge that although the song were great the original Purple Rain was an awful movie why would I wanna watch a remake. With that said I do own 3 different copies of the original film VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. Prince is the G.O.A.T.!!!

Although Neyo seems to have some kind of grasp about what 13 year old girls will buy, I see no reason why he thinks people will want to see him in a movie, Purple Rain remake or no. Now, I would see a remake of Under the Cherry Moon with Jigga and Nas as Christopher Tracy and Tricky. Or maybe Slug and Ant in those roles. Or not.

you know if you think about it…8 Mile was like Eminem’s version of Purple Rain.
Although I can’t say that I’d cosign a Ne-Yo version…

Ne-yo needs not to play the roll of Prince. I think, I mean it will end his career. Sorry but thats the wrong move SON!! Just keep on making thoes nasty R&B songs and the world will be just fine. We can’t handle another classic gone bad.

I have to agree with twerkolator on this 1, he said “kind of going to be along of the lines of a current-day Purple Rain” not a remake. I don’t even think Ne-Yo is that crazy. Even though if you saw him back in the day on showtime @ the Apollo…..he may be able to pull it off…lol.
