    Tyrese looks nothing like JIMI. Thats like getting Common to play Michael Jordan.

    tyrese dosn't have the chops to play jimi and, of course, looks nothin like him. i think they'll have to go unknown with this. off the top of my head i can't think of a light skinted dude who has the chops to play jimi AND has a name.

    This closest dude that is young, lightskinned,has street cred, and pretty yet macho is that green eyed cat from thinkk like a woman act like a man.
    The green eyes doesnt work but he can get his scruffy on like he did when he threw the babies out the window in Perrys for Colored girls.

    Since we are going with that look to resemble Jimi, why not go with Terrence Howard??

    Another thing that kills music bio pics for me is when the actor can't properly fake playing an instrument...they look awkward...like Sean Penn in Sweet and Lowdown, the shittiest fake guitar playing evar, clumsy fingers , looked like he was reading Braille on the fucking thing. Whoever does Jimi is going to have to go all Forrest Whittaker in Bird...dude learned the correct fingering for the tunes and everything.

    just read that the estate denied the film permission to use hendrix music in the flick.

  • To add to Andre's talents for this part:
    - guitar
    - bass guitar
    - keyboards
    - saxophone
    - harmonica
    - violin
    and he sings. These instruments are played on the Outkast albums... by Andre' 3000....

    Ill give Andre some credit for being artistcallycloser and trying to channel jimi but his voice is nowhere near jimis deep man voice.

    Its a "feel" thang for me and dude doesnt fit the bill for me.

    The Darko Entertainment film will get around not using any of Hendrix???s music by centering on his origins and young life. All Is By My Side will detail Hendrix growing up in Seattle, joining the Army, playing in back-up bands throughout the South and with the Isley Brothers and Little Richard among others.

    looks like this movie may go in the direction batmon wants it to.

    I do wanna see him getting with The Band of Gypsies and the behind the scenes contract drama.

    but yeah i wanna see him upstaging the Isleys, Knight and Richard.

    They should start the movie with someone saving Hendrix from drowning in his own vomit and then going from there. He collabs with Miles. He gets fat. And so on.

    But didn't, didn't he drown in his own vomit...? When did he get fat?

    Tbh it's quite disrespectfull to do something like that within, say, a 100 years of someone's passing imo. Then again maybe it was meant as a cynical pun?

    Whatever, Hendrix has long been turned into cartoon character. Shit, even while he was still alive. I mean, wasn't his dick bigger than a tractor?

    Experience Hendrix are the biggest bunch of fucking jackasses in the game.

    "No, you can't use Jimi's music in a biopic...but you CAN hear it on the Experience Hendrix 2012 Tribute Tour with Billy Cox and a bunch of other people without any direct connection to Jimi at all, as they celebrate the music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix in the concert event of the year, sponsored by Fender, Dunlop, Hal Leonard, etc., etc, etc..."

    The Hendrix estate (and his legacy) might be even more poorly managed than the Elvis estate.
    At least (some of) his family is getting paid.

    So, 101 years is the cutoff for impermissble satire?
