As rock heroes go, they don't come more legendary than guitar master Jimi Hendrix - so it is only fitting that the production house Legendary Pictures are looking to develop a film about his life.
Although many attempts have been made before to bring the icon to the screen, producers hope that they can work in conjunction with Experience Hendrix which runs his estate to breathe life into the script penned by documentary writer Max Borenstein.
It is now 40 years on from Hendrix's renowned performance of Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock, and with films such as Saving Woodstock and also The Boat That Rocked celebrating the period and its music, a biopic of the '60s rocker would nestle well into the renewed interest in the psychedelic summer of love.
So who should play the man who launched a thousand attempts at playing guitars with teeth? Names in the hat for other films in development about Hendrix have included musician-actors Lenny Kravitz and Outkast's André Benjamin, but as he died at the young age of 28, both of those guys might be a little too 'experienced' to play him convincingly.
