Finally, after two years of hype and waiting, fans can see André 3000 in action as Jimi Hendrix as the All Is By My Side biopic begins its promotional rollout.
Last July the world first saw a picture of the Outkast founder as the late rock legend and guitar warlock. But with the film headed to SXSW for screening, a trailer is finally available for viewing. Watch below as André discusses the impending Monterey Pop Festival to Imogen Poots as model Linda Keith (the subject of the Rolling Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday”).
The film was written and directed by John Ridley, who wrote the incredible Oscar-winning film 12 Years a Slave.
Benjamin’s previous acting credits include starring or supporting parts in Be Cool opposite John Travolta and Uma Thurman, Four Brothers with Mark Wahlberg, the ill-received 2006 Prohibition-era musical Idlewild with his Outkast partner Big Boi, and a small part in Semi-Pro co-starring Will Ferrell.
