Andre 3000 going for the Academy's throat with "JIMI"

[Kaypain]

Movie looks good and well acted but without Jimi's music there's no soul or purpose for this biopic

Yall think this movie is going to be better than Hands of Stone?

I thought they were making a movie about Sugar Ray

To be honest, disappointed in the trailer, I mean, the impact that Jimi had on the music, much like Janis Joplin, was and being black and doing what he was doing with that electric guitar was fukking crazy. I didn't even know he was knocking down white woman like that, and from the trailer it is pretty much just telling the story of his interracial relationship. Hollywood certainly takes their liberties with story lines and Jimi's impact on the music should be front and center with this movie, and it could still be awesome. I hope they don't fukk it up.

Nah, it's about Roberto Duran.
My guess is the movie ends with Duran beating Leonard.
I doubt they'd show the 2nd fight with Leonard winning...unless they want to show the emotional toll the time and loss took on Duran...which..frankly...would make for a much more interesting film.

Loved the trailer but faaaaack, just learning about the music roadblock thru this thread. That sucks huge dyck.

 

[thernbroom]

[Methodical]

I heard they couldn't use none of his original music for this film

Seriously?....

 

[infamousred]

they did the same thing with that bio pic starring wood harris. wouldn't let them use any licensed music. netflix added a new documentary recently if anyone is interested.

I see the director for 12 Years Of Slave is behind this

...but 3000 was born to play Hendrix

You mean the writer.

 

[ELITE]

Your high as fukk. Candy was the GOAT performance he put, BUT Samuel shoulda won that oscar easily

Neither were in it long enough.

Looks like another paint by the numbers biopic.

"You really want to change things?? When the power of love takes over the love of power that's when things will chaaange"

Fair credit to them though, they have the 60's pseudo-intellectual thing down pat.

Which is ironically the backbone of modern democratic ideology, but thats neither here nor there..@TheReal32

This was a good movie that could have been great if they had the music. I'm guessing the scene he hits the girl w the phone has something to do with that.

Reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen leaving the Freddie Mercury movie over Queen wanting to change the script. At least this one got made and Andre proved that yes he could do a good job playing Jimi.
