Andre 3000 Still Working on Hendrix Biopic; New Outkast Album Rumored for 2012
It's been trapped in development hell for so long that it seemed like Andre 3000's Jimi Hendrix biopic would probably never reach theaters -- but it looks like it might still be in the works.
Speaking with Esquire in a recent interview, actress Hayley Atwell discussed the film, saying Andre was still attached, but that it's an independent project -- which might be why Atwell says she's taking a "let’s wait and see approach" to starring.

Did Red Wine Kill Jimi Hendrix?
When you think of dangerous rock ‘n’ roll substances, red wine probably isn’t even on the list. But according to a friend of Jimi Hendrix, it may have been the cause of the guitar legend’s death.
In an interview with the UK’s Daily Mail, Meic Stevens recounted the last night of Hendrix’s life, saying he “was drinking lager or some kind of beer and he just poured the wine in to the pint glass. I don’t think he had ever drunk red wine before — he didn’t know how to drink it. He seemed okay. He seemed to be alright. But the next day I woke up late and somebody phoned and said Jimi’s dead. Apparently he choked on his own vomit.”
