Jimi Hendrix, The Movie

[ktehmok]

Worth making?

Why not? They've made a movie about every other half-assed musician that died before they became a has-been.

Can't think of anyone other than Wil Smith being offered the part though. But he's getting older, might not be able to pull it off. Suggestions?

..anything to make money. The Hendrix Estate has tight control over Hendrix content so it'll be interesting to see where this goes and if they will approve any of it.

"Everything" is to make money. I'm sure the royalties are thinning out from what is offered so far from the Hendrix estate.

It's just a matter of time before you hear that deep, fake, overdone dramatic voice whilst watching your preview's for Spiderman 6.....


"AND NOW..............JIMI" WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A company that anonymously bid $15 million last month for the rights to rock legend Jimi Hendrix's songs could end up in a "purple haze" of regret as a result of litigation surrounding the sale.

On Nov. 6, Southern District of New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan granted the Hendrix estate's request for a preliminary injunction and attachment in its attempt to block the sale pending final resolution of issues.

Judge Kaplan said in Experience Hendrix v. Chalpin, 06 Civ. 9926, that the threat of irreparable injury to Hendrix's estate was "palpable." Moreover, he found the estate was likely to prevail on the merits of its claim that it owns the songs.

Szczepanski estimated that Hendrix's recordings generated about $8 million in income a year.

Three years ago, New York Supreme Court awarded Experience Hendrix a $725,868 judgment against Chalpin and Enterprises. Experience Hendrix has been unsuccessful in collecting this judgment, which now exceeds $919,000.

He was awesome in Walk the Line, so it's a no-brainer.

Marlon Wayans (Requiem for a Dream) would be great in the role...
