All Is by My Side - The Jimi Hendricks Movie
Jimi Hendrick is back all of you. And it's a new movie coming your way in 2014?
Well, we are all for a treat. Movie Wise, that is. I have been slow on the uptake of this, to be honest. But it is better to be late than never as they say.
The film in question when it gets released will star Andre 300 (Andre Benjamin), who is the other member of the supergroup (HipHop group) that is known as OUTKAST; who has been chosen to play the lead actor in the film devoted to the life and times of Jimi Hendrick.
Jimmi is still revered as "THE" Guitar God even up to today.
The long-awaited Jimi Hendrix biopic that is to be called - Jimi: All Is By My Side will first be seen at this event - (Toronto International Film Festival - Premiere -7th September 2014).
However, it has already been seen via being viewed at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Festival on the 12th of March 2014 - in Austin, Texas, Usa to fairly good reviews.
The Film also features these actors and actresses - Imogen Poots, Hayley Atwell, Ruth Negga, and Adrian Lester who are featured within this biopic film.
The film was written and directed by John Ridley (American Writer and Director), and tells of the life, times, and recordings of Jimmi Hendrix's debut album "Are You Experienced".
The film also delves into the Rock AND Blues legend's life before he made it big. And I mean really big.
In fact, the story tells us about Hendricks, the struggling musician trying to pay the bills on the R&B circuit.
Until one day, he was spotted by Linda Keith - who was the then girlfriend of Keith Richards, who met Jimi at the Cheetah Club in New York, Usa.
Linda Keith via the contacts that she had/and knew put Hendrix in touch with the right people. From then on he was quickly on his way to superstardom.
The film has not come with its problems, however. For instance, The Jimi Hendrix estate - aka, Experience Hendrix LLC (*which is run by his family) has not given their blessing for this film.
The Jimi Hendrix estate - did not give permission for any of the songs written and produced by the man himself to be used in the film. So you will not be hearing any Jimmi Hendrick compositions within the film.
Apparently, we here in the Uk will not be able to see this film until the release date that is planned for us which is the 8th of August 2014.

IMDB - Reviews, Ratings, and Comments about - Jimi Hendricks - All by my side
The Director - John Ridley (adds his pennies worth here by saying ) to RollingStone.com, "I got a musician who can act and an actor who could play. Andre is just a unique talent, and part of that talent that you see also came from a lot of hard work.
The first time I met him, he had a curiosity about the world that was equal to what I believe Jimi's curiosity about music and the world was at that time in his life".
