The documentary by Oscar-winning ‘OJ: Made in America’ director Ezra Edelman may never be seen. The film was directed by Ezra Edelman who won the Academy Award for Best Documentary for his almost eight-hour long 2016 feature about OJ Simpson, OJ: Made in America. However, the Prince Estate were reportedly unhappy with the portrayal of Prince that emerged in Edelman’s film. “As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.”.
In a separate statement to the Tribune, Londell McMillan, who was Prince’s lawyer and is now a manager of Prince Legacy LLC said: “The vault is free. It’s a big, big win for Prince’s legacy. “We’re excited to have the right to put a plan together. which is exciting for the fans and his legacy. Thankfully we were able to reach an agreement with Netflix.”. McMillan said the new film will be “an in-depth piece that explore the complexities of the brilliant musical genius.”.
