Reportedly, a musical based on Prince’s music is in the works at Universal Pictures. Universal has acquired the rights to some of Prince’s most classic records and is now developing a musical inspired by those songs.

The film will not be a biopic surrounding the musical legends life, yet an original story with Prince’s music “driving the plot line.” As a Prince documentary is already in the works at Netflix, directed by Ava DuVernay.

Meetings in search for writers and produces have begun. The movie is set to be similar to “Mamma Mia.”

No release date or title as of yet. Will you be tuning in?
