Reelzchannel.com is reporting:
A few months ago, Legendary Pictures announced that they would produce a movie devoted to iconic guitarist JIMI HENDRIX. Today, The Hollywood Reporter writes that Angry films and Bellport announced another Hendrix-themed project.
Slide will be a fictional dramatization of the infamous "lost weekend" in 1969. The urban legend is that Hendrix was kidnapped as part of a stunt orchestrated by his manager. The story for Silde, however, will see two mobsters mistakenly apprehend Hendrix while they're on the run from their duped boss.
The writer-director for the project is Ray "R.H." Greene, who wrote Incarnadine: The True Memoirs of Count Dracula and directed Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies. Hendrix's music won't play much of a part in the movie; instead, Hendrix will fraternize with the mobsters and correct his drug problems in the process, according to THR.
