A judge Friday approved a deal for a documentary about the life of Prince thatâs expected to bring the late pop starâs estate an eight-figure sum, sources tell Billboard.
The film project was championed by Spotifyâs Troy Carter, who serves as an advisor to the estate's personal representative, Comerica Bank & Trust, and won approval despite objections from the heirs that count the estateâs former advisor, L. Londell McMillan, as their business advisor.
In a court filing Friday, the judge wrote that Carter should have creative input and a degree of control over the project to protect the estateâs interests.
The court would âbe remiss in its fiduciary responsibility if it did not approve the transaction as presented,â the filing says.
