Editors' Picks: Our Favorite Things From the Week of August 127 of 7
Spiritual Reappearance of the Week
Recently bringing Spike Lee's BlacKkKlansman to a close with a sparse and haunting end-credits piano ballad, the dearly departed Prince may return to movie screens in his mid-1980s glory. The project, currently called Queen for a Day, centers on a Midwestern metalhead who wins an MTV contest that serves up a date with the High Priest of Pop as its prize. Let's skip over the fact that the contest was a promotion for Under the Cherry Moon, one of his rare creative low points. Elizabeth Banks will portray the lucky winner (and produce). And while Prince isn't due to appear in any form (including hologram), it's been reported this "his presence will hover." As it should be.
