Just because we haven’t seen much of him on the music scene, don’t think Andre 3000 is somewhere sitting still contemplating his next career move because rumor has it that he’s about to make it. If he hasn’t already, 3000 will soon be jet-setting to Ireland to start filming his star role in the highly anticipated and long-awaited Jimi Hendrix biopic, “All Is by My Side”. The film which was written and will be directed by John Ridley (Three Kings, U Turn) will chronicle Hendrix’s early career and explore the makings of his classic debut album, “Are You Experienced”.

 

Now while things seem to be a go, it’s being reported that the family-owned company that manages the late Hendrix’s music and publishing, Experience Hendrix LLC, has released a statement saying that the don’t have a hand in the projection. In the statement it was made clear that such a project cannot go forth with the inclusion of Hendrix’s original music or copyrights without their participation.

 

All we can and will say for now is that if both of the tidbits mentioned above are true then there’s a script full of drama within itself! But only time will tell so we’ll just have to wait and see how this all pans out!
