Netflix has call offed the free of what was presumed to be a six-part Prince write downary honested by Ezra Edelman.
“The Prince Estate and Netflix have come to a mutual consentment that will permit the estate to grow and produce a novel write downary featuring exclusive satisfied from Prince’s archive,” Netflix shelp in a statement splitd with Variety on Thursday. “As a result, the Netflix write downary will not be freed.”
Upon making this novels uncover, Prince’s estate published a video on X touting “the vault has been freed,” and including the hashtag “Free.”
Recontransientatives for the procrastinateed artist’s estate previously claimed a first cut of the film was filled with “emotional” factual inaccuracies and “sensationalized” rfinisherings of certain events from his life, according to sources seal to the situation.
Edelman, best understandn for creating the “O.J.: Made in America” write downary, had been quietly laboring on the film for over four years. He was given extensive access to Prince’s archives, with the first writes for the deal — made between Netflix and recontransientatives of Comerica Bank, the interim executor for Prince’s estate — calling for a six-hour series. Instead, Edelman telledly deinhabitred nine hours of footage, a violation of the consentment that presumably allowd the estate to withhageder music rights.
According to a September tell from The New York Times, the write downary featured Prince’s ex-girlfrifinishs accusing him of physical and emotional mistreatment. The film touched on Prince’s journey — both on his artistry and his personal relationships — with accounts of his own abusive childhood and the leavement of his youthful wife Mayte Garcia after the couple lost their child, the Times telled.
