Similar to that proverbial tree falling in the woods with no one around to hear it, if a studio releases a Jimi Hendrix biopic without using any of Hendrix’s signature songs, did the film really happen?
The people of Dublin, Ireland received quite the treat yesterday when musician Andre 3000 (real name: Andre Benjamin) was filming scenes for 'All Is By My Side,' in which he plays the late rock legend Jimi Hendrix.
A Jimi Hendrix biopic has been around for years and years and has a number of actors attached to starring as the iconic rocker. Terrence Howard, Laurence Fishburne, Lenny Kravitz and even LL Cool J were all at one point interested and/or attached in starring as Hendrix. But after along battle over film rights, 'All Is By My Side' is set to begin filming this summer in Ireland with Outkast leader Andre 3000 starring as Jimi.
