Last week, Ryan Coogler made headlines when he was given an IMAX Event picture release date for his next vampire movie starring Michael B. Jordan. We discovered that Coogler is currently in the early phases of his next project. The musical icon Prince perhaps may be the next legend to receive a musical biopic.
The icon’s biopic will be produced by Ryan Coogler and his production business Proximity, which he co-runs with his wife Zinzi Evans and Sev Ohanian, according to Jeff Sneider’s newsletter The InSneider. Although the movie is set at Universal Pictures, it does not yet have a title or release date.
There are rumors that Bryan Edward Hill has a draft of the script ready, but changes and iterations are still to come. We’re not sure if Coogler will continue to serve as producer or also take on a directing role.
Coogler is still showcasing his extensive range of genre filmmaking, and everything he touches turns out at least passably. In Hollywood, Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler’s duo has shown to be among the most reliable and consistent.
