There's just one problem. According to Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., the company that controls the rights to Hendrix's catalog, the movie may not include any of Hendrix's original recordings.

On Wednesday, Experience Hendrix responded to reports about the film. "Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., the family-owned company entrusted with safeguarding the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and administrator of the Jimi Hendrix music and publishing catalog has made it known many times in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full participation," the company said in a statement posted on its website.

The statement added the estate is open to a working on a movie about Hendrix's life, but only if producers agree to its terms. "Experience Hendrix CEO Janie L. Hendrix, sister of Jimi Hendrix, and the EH board have not ruled out a 'biopic' in the future though producing partners would, out of necessity, have to involve the company from the inception of any such film project if it is to include original Jimi Hendrix music or compositions."

Hendrix's music was not used in the 2000 Showtime film "Hendrix" starring Wood Harris as the legendary rock star.

The movie to be directed by John Ridley, who also wrote the original screenplay, will be based on Hendrix interviews and archive materials, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Andre 3000, half of the hip hop duo OutKast, has also appeared in the movies "Idlewild," "Be Cool" and "Four Brothers."
