We reported four days ago that a planned Jimi Hendrix biopic starring Andre 3000 was finally set to move forward and start shooting later this month in Ireland. But the film, All Is By My Side, is facing the same problems it has in the past: the Experience Hendrix estate is not supporting the project.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the estate released the following statement: “No such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its (estate's) full participation.” Apparently the estate is not completely against a future biopic, but it looks like All Is By My Side has hit another roadblock.
