Project in the Works: Jimi Hendrix Biopic staring Andre 3000

Though Andree 300 has landed in Ireland to begin filming the forthcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic entitled "All Is By My Side," which chronicles Hendrix’s life between 1966-1967, it seems as if the film might've hit a snag as the Wall Street Journal received an update from his estate condemning the biopic.

“[Experience Hendrix LLC] has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation.... Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a ‘biopic’ in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions.”

With this in mind, it is not clear if/ how "All Is By My Side" will commence, but I have a feeling it will be missing Hendrix's original music and will be heavy on classic rock covers. Time will tell and I'll keep you posted as always.
