After being acquired by Open Road out of the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, we haven’t heard much about recent Oscar winner screenwriter John Ridley‘s (12 Years a Slave) All is By My Side, which takes a look at the early years of Jimi Hendrix’s life with Andre Benjamin starring as the iconic musician. Today, however, we get a first look at the film in the following clip, the first of which features Benjamin alongside Imogen Poots as Linda Keith, then girlfriend of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards.
Hayley Atwell, Ruth Negga, Adrian Lester and Burn Gorman.
