Prince's Purple Rain has been remade in Niger - but it might get lost in translation.
The rock opera - which was loosely based on the singer's journey to stardom - has been given a new lease of life, even if some aspects may not quite hit home.
For a start, there's actually no word for 'purple', leaving the movie with the awkward title of Akounak Tedalat Taha Tazoughai - or, Rain the Colour of Blue With a Little Red in It.
Not quite as catchy.
Director and co-writer Christopher Kirkley admitted the original idea behind the project was a "joke", but that it quickly became something they could really get behind.
He told the Guardian: "It started out as a joke, the idea to take this cult film from the west and remake it in the Sahara.
“But we realised if we took the original story and modified it, the remake would reflect the lives of every guitarist in the Tuareg community.”
The 1984 film crossed more than £53million and became a cult classic, and the remake has become popular in Niger, as it follows the rise of Mdou Moctar, who is a real-life state in the Saharan state.
The fact that Prince isn't a huge star in the area hasn't affected its popularity, with Christopher insisting it adds to its charm.
He added: "It’s a nice nod to the fact that some parts of the original translated well into the west African context and others didn’t.”
