The Jimi Hendrix biopic has been flying under the radar lately, but now we have our first look at Andre Benjamin as the iconic guitarist Jimi Hendrix in All is By My Side’s first clip.
All is By My Side focuses on the life of Jimi Hendrix prior to skyrocketing to stardom after his time touring in the U.K. Actor/musician Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000) is a spitting image of the rock legend and in this first clip we see that he’s mastered his laid back voice as well.
We may be seeing more of this film soon as John Ridley, the film’s writer and director, just won an Oscar for his 12 Years a Slave screenplay. We also get a good look at Imogen Poots, who will be playing the groupie Linda Keith.
The British actress has half a dozen films in pre and post production, so we should be seeing more of her throughout the next few years.
All is By My Side also stars Captain America star Hayley Atwell, Ashley Charles, Burn Gorman and Ruth Negga. Its release date is set for August 8 in the U.K., but it’s yet to receive a U.S. release date. We’ll be interested to see if this film gets a bigger push from the studio now that its writer and director has an Oscar on his shelf.
