Ryan Coogler, the acclaimed filmmaker known for Black Panther and Creed, is currently working on a new film project centered around the music of the legendary artist Prince. This jukebox musical, which features popular songs rather than original music, has been in development since 2018, following Prince's passing in 2016.
Prince, whose real name was Prince Nelson, was a multifaceted artist who also had a notable presence in the world of cinema. His most iconic film, Purple Rain, released in 1984, garnered critical acclaim and accolades, including an Academy Award and a Grammy for its soundtrack.
