Looks like the Jimi Hendrix film starring Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 is now.... ON HOLD.
The Jimi Hendrix estate has reportedly not endorsed the biopic about the late rocker starring rapper/actor Andre 3000. While the project is slated to begin shooting in Ireland, The estate issued a statement saying it is not on board with the film.
"[The estate] 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 statement reads.
“Experience Hendrix CEO Janie Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a ‘biopic’ in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions,” it said.
Sounds like a bunch of fuckery to me.. with means it's all about the money.. smh. I would lreally like to see this film bout to the masses at some point because I feel Jimi is a ICON not very many know about.. even still. Let's hope they can work this out.
