All Is by My Side Set Photos with Andre Benjamin as Jimi Hendrix
Shooting is currently under way on All Is by My Side, writer-director John Ridley's biopic on Jimi Hendrix. André Benjamin is playing the late great guitarist in the drama, which focuses on his years in England before he became an international star. Today we have six photos from the set showing the actor/Outkast rapper donning the legendary afro and colorful threads. Take a look.
All Is by My Side comes to theaters in 2013 and stars André Benjamin, Imogen Poots, Hayley Atwell, Laurence Kinlan. The film is directed by John Ridley.

Jimi ooozed sexiness in a way that no one can surpass. Andre has similar features .. but Mr. Hendrix had a passion for life [ music ] deeper than any earthy ocean ... I'll be interested to see how A.B. can interpret his Hendrix.

i dont think andre benjamin is right for this, he kinda resembles him but his voice is too high pitch if anyone would have been more right for this it should have been Martin Luther, his character was practically a knock off of jimi hendrix in Across the Universe and he looked way better for the part, he had the looks and the voice

the last photo is great - but the others look lie, well...André 3000 in an afro wig. Obvisouly Hendrix was much lighter skinned too - but there's not much that can be done about that!

@shuabert oh heck no lol. Sorry he just isn't great to me. I think they picked right for the look. I wonder if he will be singing or lip lynching

@supermanvenom Oh, I'm not knocking him having the role. I'm pretty excited to see what he does with it. I honestly can't think of many other actors I could see pulling off Hendrix. Maybe Jamie Foxx?

He certainly looks the part. Whether he can pull off Hendrix's vibe is another matter.
