"Jimi: All Is By My Side" will make it's U.S. debut at SXSW in March.
Andre 3000 was cast as Jimi Hendrix in the upcoming biopic, Jimi: All Is By My Side some time ago, and the film is finally ready to make its debut on U.S. soil. The film will screen at this year's SXSW festival, which runs March 3-15 in Austin Texas.
Dre will be playing Hendrix in his pre-fame days, just before releasing his classic debut album, Are You Experienced? in 1967.
A film following A$AP Rocky and A$AP Mob, titled SVDDXNLY will also premiere at the festival. The doc will be directed by David Laven.
Just a month after Jimi makes its debut, Andre will reunite with Big Boi onstage at Coachella, before heading out on a 40+ date festival tour.

I think Andre is gonna kick ass in this role.. So stoked for this movie.
Hopefully there is lots of drug use, great music, and exquisite ? . -
Damn this is great!!! Glad they got all the music clearance if I'm to assume.
-
I heard hendrix's estate was against this movie so none of his music is used
-
Hmmm. Good pick.
-
Idk why his estate is so against gettim a bio movie done? It gives a younger generation a chance to learn about him and will most likely spike his music sales

I've been hearing about this project for years. thought it was never going to happen. I wonder why it took so long.

again because of the estate. I really want this movie to be good, but would've been amazing with his music

How can you do a Jimi Hendrix movie w/o his music?
