Tarantino To Direct Hendrix Movie

[Just Another Sunny day in California]

Quentin Tarantino will direct a forthcoming biopic about Jimi Hendrix, according to reports.

The infamous filmmaker is said to have agreed to shoot the film, which is thought to have been in production for some months.

Tarantino will collaborate with Leon Hendrix, Jimi's brother, on the movie, and will be given full access to his name, likeness, and archive interview footage for the project.

Shooting is expected to begin later this year, with the movie scheduled to take in numerous cities that played host to the life of Hendrix, including Seattle, New York, Toronto, and London.

See, the reason that guy named it "Aint' it cool news" is because he has the credentials to back it up.

For instance.

If Quentin Tarantino regularly comes to your house, you must be one cool motherfucker.

If you knew AICN history, you'd know that he does.
The guy went from running the site to producing Hollywood movies.
Check the name Harry Knowles on Wikipedia & IMDB.

Don't know about coming to your house, but if Tarantino thanks you in "Hostel" credits, then you must be one cool motherfucker.

So Andre 3000 isn't playing Hendrix, with a flipped screen so it can appear to look like Andre is playing left handed? That's what I remember being reported last I heard about a Hendrix movie...
