André 3000 stars as Jimi Hendrix in the biopic entitled, Jimi: All is By My Side. The film was written and directed by Academy Award-winner John Ridley who was recently acclaimed for 12 Years A Slave. His latest project documents Hendrix‘s life from 1966 to 1967. At the time, Hendrix was a struggling artist on the verge of success. Aesthetically the movie appears to be promising and bright in colors. Judging by the trailer, however, the writing suggests that the tone may at times be corny with one liners such as, “When the power of love takes over the love of power, that’s when things will change.” Viewers might struggle connecting with the story because of that. What do you think? Will you be in theaters September 26th? Check out the first trailer below:
