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.
Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family-owned company entrusted with safeguarding the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and administrator of the Jimi Hendrix music and publishing catalog 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.
The new film was apparently set to focus on Hendrix's period in England over 1966 and 1967 as he created his seminal debut album 'Are You Experienced' and was to be written and directed by John Ridley.
