03 Apr Unreleased PRINCE Movie Trailer Leaks!~
So around the time PRINCE was making 3121: The Music, he was also making 3121: The Movie…..which never saw the light of day…..until now.
It’s on Cameron Pearce’s page although a majority of the movie was shot by Sanna Hamri.
The movie was renamed “Lotus Flower” and was to be released on the website LotusFlow3r.com back in April of 2009. Before the site went live however, the movie was taken off the site.
The Doc saw something close to the final cut before, but the footage of the song “Guitar” was added along with a different shot of the video “3121” and added were the shots of him walking the streets of Los Angeles.
You tired of me talking n want to see the trailer?

“I wonder if it’s ever going to see the light of day… It’s not like Prince to look back into the past.”
Of course not, just about every recent tour is an exercise in going back into the past.

Posted at 16:04h, 03 AprilIt won’t disappear. He doesn’t go to Vimeo. So many of his videos are up there. I think it’s only Youtube that he has a problem with.

” Nothing would make me happier than to see Prince’s 1st 10 records remastered. This low volume for wax ish is so 1986….”
clapping If Prince won’t listen to us, maybe he’ll listen to somebody!

Posted at 15:23h, 03 AprilHmmm. I did see the docu that you were talking about but that was in an early version of the film n always looked to me to be bonus footage. The “finished” project I saw did not have that in it at all.
Yes, the people working for him were doing stuff behind his back. The “big black dude” you are talking about is a cool guy named Miguel……. 🙂

Posted at 15:14h, 03 AprilCB777, why promotion was stopped…
Prince felt Universal was not doing their part to promote 3121. As someone who helped behind the scenes of 3121, he was completely right. Most of the promotion for 3121 was viral n Internet based. I let that be known.
A huge ball was dropped when he did “American Idol” and not 1 mention of his latest CD being in stores. Major exposure and not 1 mention where those songs were from. The “fans” knew, not the general public. 40 Million plus watched AI that night. Should have been able to sell a million more at least.
Universal also could not get clearance to use the version of “Fury” that was performed amazingly on Saturday Night Live. Interesting. Also upsetting when that is what Prince wanted n was the right choice. NBC/Universal owns Saturday Night Live, but yet you could not get clearance for that performance to be the video? Hmm.
So, after the BET Awards performance that year, Prince attempted to re-negotiate the agreement with Universal. If they did not come to his terms, he would halt promotion on his end of the project. Obviously, they did not.
I understand where Prince was coming from. Completely agree. I do wish when the CD dropped, he was doing Leno, Ellen, n other shows. I would say Oprah….but…let’s just say Lenny gets invited to Oprah….Prince..not so much.
The 3121 movie would have been cool. 3121 is one of his best cd’s. It proved he has lost nothing and whenever he decides, he can throw you that party album.

Posted at 15:01h, 03 AprilThe one I saw was around 90 minutes. This is a different cut I must say….
drfunkenberry
Posted at 14:58h, 03 AprilI saw it. I fully understand why it wasn’t released. It needed more work done. He took it out and tried.
His “fans” are pretty harsh critics. If it could be taken as is, or had more subplot, it would be great. The videos and music are top notch though….

Posted at 14:26h, 03 AprilIt seems like it would’ve been interesting… if it was finished.. U know Prince, once he doesn’t feel something anymore.. that’s the end of it… Anyway, thanks Doc for posting!!

Posted at 12:35h, 03 AprilMovie looks great – I just don’t get the point. I support Prince and all, but at the same time I won’t kiss a celeb’s ass. If somebody can please explain what the purpose of the movie is, then maybe I can better understand what is going on.

Posted at 12:25h, 03 AprilDamn, wish he’d release this, 3121 is one of my favourite eras. I was gutted when he didn’t include it on the LF site. Thanks for the background info though, guys!
