Our man on the sofa Stuart Clark is looking forward to a major new Prince documentary....
Having previously impressed with Selma, producer/director Ava DuVernay is making a multiple-part Prince documentary for Netflix.
Crucially, with the singer's estate on board, the Oscar-winner has been granted access to the extensive Paisley Park archives.
"Prince was a genius and a joy and a jolt to the senses," DuVernay tells Deadline magazine. "The only way I know how to make this film is with love. And with great care. I'm honoured to do so and grateful for the opportunity entrusted to me by the estate."
Meanwhile, Prince & The Revolution's legendary August 1983 show in Minneapolis' First Avenue club is the subject of an Apple Music doc that's also due in 2019.
If it's dystopian street racing dramas you're after, look no further than Sky One's Curfew, which finds the likes of Sean Bean, Adrian Lester, Billy Zane, Miranda Richardson and Robert Glenister competing in a win-or-die London to northernmost Scotland dash. The first trailer suggests we're in for a thrilling motherfucker of a ride, with an early spring due date.
