It's been a while since we've had a decent music biopic and it seems as if Hollywood execs have been hearing our frustration as there are films about James Brown, Tupac, Nina Simone, Elton John and Jimi Hendrix all on the way.

The film didn't receive a seal of approval from Hendrix's estate so it won't feature any of his music. Which could be a slight problem...
