Atom Factory’s Troy Carter, the entertainment advisor of Prince’s estate will executive produce the Prince film alongside Jody Gerson, Chairman and CEO of Universal Music Publishing Group.
Variety reports that Universal Pictures is setting the stage for a film based off of Prince’s catalog, and has already acquired the rights to a number of his classic songs.
The film will essentially follow said songs through a fictional narrative, which insiders insist is not a biopic about the late singer.
This falls in line with Suspiria director Luca Guadagnino’s next film, which is based on Bob Dylan’s classic album Blood on the Tracks.
