Andre 3000 To Begin Shooting Jimi Hendrix Biopic Next Month
FUSE TV - Andre 3000 To Begin Shooting Jimi Hendrix Biopic Next Month
OutKast member, Gillette spokesman and person cooler than all of us Andre 3000 has long been rumored to play Jimi Hendrix in a biopic on the late musician's life, but all we've heard so far is hearsay and possibilities. But thanks to Irish Film and Television Network, we've got some definitive news.
The site reports that shooting for All Is By My Side will begin in Ireland in June and will "document Hendrix’s period in England over 1966 and 1967," the period before and during recording of his revolutionary debut album Are You Experienced?
The film will focus on Hendrix's early years, from playing in small New York clubs to being discovered by the Animals' Chas Chandler and flown to London to begin work on Experienced. While Hendrix had Irish blood, it's most likely that Ireland will be filling in for another locale more prominent to the guitarist's life.
All Is By My Side is written and directed by John Ridley, best known as the writer of Three Kings. There are still countless reasons why this long-gestating film may not happen, but for Hendrix obsessives—this writer included—this is excellent news.
What do you think of Andre 3000 as Jimi Hendrix? The perfect choice? Not right? Sound off in the comments below.
