New Jimi Hendrix Movie?
Outkast’s Andre 3000 has been snapped in his Jimi Hendrix consume as he films a forthcoming biopic about the late guitarist.
We managed to catch a glimpse of the rapper in Dublin where the film is being shot, as he appeared from his dressing room with a full Hendrix-style afro.
The film titled “All Is By My Side” pushed ahead with production before getting permission from the Hendrix estate to use his music. The movie centers around the recording of the classic 1967 album “Are You Experienced?” It is unclear whether a deal has been reached with the Hendrix estate, but the production company could be skipping out on those royalty fees by recording its own soundtrack.
According to Ultimate Classic Rock, Chickenfoot drummer Kenny Aronoff took part in an “intense” two day Hendrix recording session for the film score. Could they be cutting the Hendrix family out of any royalties?
Andre 3000 has previously appeared in movies including “Be Cool”, “Four Brothers” and “Semi-Pro”.
