Hendrix Jimi

Jimi Hendrix's estate has denied reports stating that a biographical film about the rock guitarist's life is in pre-production. Earlier this week it was reported that OutKast's Andre 3000 would be portraying Jimi Hendrix in a new Hollywood biopic, titled All Is By My Side. However, Experience Hendrix, LLC has now issued a statement saying that any such film would not be able to go ahead without their full cooperation. The statement, via Billboard, read:

A Jimi Hendrix biopic, All Is By My Side, is to start shooting in Ireland in three weeks time, according to The Irish Film And Television Network. Starring Outkast's Andre 3000 as Hendrix, the film is reported to cover Hendrix' period in England during 1966 / 1967 as he worked on his debut album, Are You Experienced. The film is written and directed by John Ridley, whose previous credits include the screenplays for David O Russell's Three Kings and Oliver Stone's U-Turn.
