Tri-State Rock - Latest Updates

It's been nearly 42 years since the rock world lost Jimi Hendrix. Now, it seems, the guitar god will be resurrected.  After lingering in the rumor mill for years, "All is by My Side" a biopic chronicling the meteoric rise of Hendrix is officially in the works, according to the Irish Film and Television Network.

Many members of generation Y, including myself, are nostalgic for the days when MTV actually played music.  The 2011 Book I Want My MTV: the Uncensored Story of the Video Revolution chronicles the early days of MTV when bringing music to television airwaves was a radical idea.  The book features interviews from over four hundred artists, directors, VJs, and television and music directors. It is certainly not an easy task to turn this detailed modern history into a screenplay.

Variety reports that Sony and Director/Producer Brett Ratner will be the catalyst bringing this film adaptation to life.  However, the film project is still in its infancy and it may be years before it is brought to movie screens.
