Three Stacks from Outkast is set to star in the recently announced Jimi Hendrix biopic. According the the Irish Times filming is to begin shortly in Ireland. Transforming Bray and Dún Laoghaire into 1960s London. The film, titled All Is By My Side was written and also will be directed by John Ridley (Three Kings) Full details are said to be released at the upcoming Cannes film festival.
UPDATE: The Wall Street Journal reported the estate has made it clear that they oppose this biopic. They stated:
"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.”They did however go on to say that they might be interested in getting involved in something like this in the future. I wonder how the film will make it work with out using original music.
WSJ said a representative for Andre 3000 didn’t immediately respond to a request for a comment.
