Director QUENTIN TARANTINO Shoots Down JIMI HENDRIX Biopic Rumors
April 28, 2006Quentin Tarantino has shot down published reports that signed on to direct the long-awaited Jimi Hendrix biopic. The movie maker was previously said to be a huge fan of the script of the film, according to producers at Dragonslayer Films, and was expected to team up with Hendrix's brother Leon to tell the story of the guitar great's life. Shooting was allegedly set to begin later this year in Seattle, Washington; New York, Toronto, Canada; and London.
According to the Ain't It Cool News web site, Quentin was asked about the reports Thursday night (April 27) at a film festival in Texas. When told that he was rumored to be making the "Purple Haze" of biopics, Tarantino reportedly just began shaking his head. "Complete fabrication," he said. "There's not even an iota of truth to it."
