Trailer for Jimi Hendrix biopic ... Jimi: All Is By My Side

By -

Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000 of Outkast) is Jimi Hendrix in this biopic. I think the casting is brilliant. Andre favors Jimi physically AND  is also musically talented. It was written and directed by John Ridley (Writer of 12 Years a Slave)

What do you think so far?
