It has been announced that Ava DuVernay (“A Wrinkle in Time”, “13th”) is teaming up with Netflix for a feature length documentary about the life and music of Prince. According to Deadline, Prince’s estate specifically chose DuVernay to make the film and, before his death in 2016, Prince had already contacted her about working together on a project. DuVernay and a small production team have already been visiting his home and studios over the last few months.
Prince was a genius, a joy and a jolt to the senses. He was like no other. He shattered preconceived notions, smashed boundaries, and shared his heart through his music. The only way I know how to make this film is with love and great care. I’m honored to do so and grateful.
