First pictures from Jimi Hendix biopic, All Is By My Side

Currently shooting in Ireland, John Ridley's All Is By My Side chronicles the early days of rock legend Jimi Hendrix, up to the release of his first album Are You Experienced. The official synopsis for the film reads like this:

In “All Is By My Side,” there’s rock music. Then there's Jimi Hendrix. “All Is By My Side” captures the energy, the charisma, the mind-boggling talent of a legend whose musical influence still resonates around the world today. Based on actual interviews and archival materials, “All Is By My Side” brings authenticity and poignantly reveals a Jimi Hendrix behind the legend. At its heart a love story, “All Is By My Side” is about a man growing up, falling in love and becoming Jimi.

Andrew Benjamin (better known as Andre 3000 from hip hop band OutKast) plays the man himself, and pictures from the set certainly show he has got the look down. We also get to see Hayley Atwell (Captain America: The First Avenger) as Linda Keith, former girlfriend of The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, and the women who discovered Hendrix.

No release date has been given as of yet.
