Andre 3000 is preparing to rock the big screen in a new movie about the rock legend, as Jimi Hendrix.
It’s been in development for years now, but the flick, entitled ‘All Is By My Side’ has finally gotten the greenlight and reportedly begins filming in Ireland later this month!
Details…
According a report published by The Irish Film & Television Network
‘All Is By My Side’ will document Hendrix’s period in England over 1966 and 1967 as he formulated his debut album and some of the greatest guitar music ever created. The feature film will be written and directed by John Ridley, who is best known as the writer of ‘Three Kings’ and ‘U-Turn’.
The project is currently in pre-production in Wicklow, with principal photography set to begin in three weeks time in Dublin and Wicklow. The shoot will last six weeks in total.
‘All Is By My Side’ will be co-produced by Irish producer Tristan Orpen Lynch for Dublin-based production company Subotica Entertainment alongside ‘Donnie Darko’ director Richard Kelly’s Darko Entertainment and Britain’s Matador Pictures. The three companies will produce the movie under the banner of Watchtower Film Productions, with offices based out of Ardmore Studios.
Andre 3000 – real name Andre Benjamin – is best-known as one half of hip-hop duo Outkast who have had a number of worldwide hits including ‘Ms Jackson’ and ‘Hey Ya’. His acting career includes roles in American TV show ‘The Shield and Guy Richie’s ‘Revolver’. FULL ARTICLE

Andre 3000 “Pauses” Outkast Reunion… [THE REAL DEAL]
GREAT CHOICE!!!!
Can’t wait to see you do you Dre!! So looking forward to it.
@Kitty B.;I agree %100!! Hands down BEST CHOICE!His unique charisma alone puts him in front of the line.
My second choice would have been Lenny Kravitz.
I love love love Andre 3000 his swag is OMG!!! and that smile is to die for!!!!
Yes
Yes! Looking forward to it!
This is going to be good!!
Dre is the perfect person to play this role.. cant wait to see it
i looove him but he cant act. i will see the movie anyways. and love it. two of my fav artist!
That’s great!!!
i think he will get an Academy Award nod. I say it first!
Do it up Dre!! We love you♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!
Andre yooze a Bad Mutha in your own right, but you got’s to REPRESENT on a Hendrix Piece!!!!
I can’t think of any other artist that could have played this role it was made for him!
yeah for Dre
[…] Andre 3000 to portray Jimi Hendrix – Straight from the A […]
Perfect casting. He has an uncanny likeness to the Greatest guitarist that ever lived!
Can’t wait to see the movie.
I LOVE…………HIM!!! "MZ. BADU" MUST BE CRAZY. HE CAN GET IT ANY TIME. HEY………YAH……LOL AFTERALL HE IS THE COOLEST MUTHA*** ON THE PLANET MZ. JACKSON LOL
HE’S GONNA PLAY THE SH*T OUT OF THAT CHARACTER!!!
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT..
It should have been Lenny Kravitz playing Jimi. Andre looks nothing like Hendrix and is not a stellar guitar player. Prince would have been another good choice but he is so damned short.
p.s. I don’t like the new color scheme. Michele please go back to the burgundy background. Much prettier and easy on the eyes.
@Kamalla @Versatile – It’s temporary. The color scheme hasn’t changed at all it’s just an advertiser. Gotta pay the bills…
@Kamalla; I just noticed the background. Thought it was integral to story but when I went back to home page I see what you mean. Don’t like this at all. The original color scheme made this the classiest looking site online. PLEEEASE bring us back to the A!!
Then again,this IS her site. Guess it’s like bein’ at home. Sometimes you need a change,only..you didn’t.
Word around hollywood is that he can’t act but we shall see with this film.

Wow, this paragraph is pleasant, my younger sister is analyzing these kinds of things, therefore I am going to let know her.
