Biopic

The producers of a biopic about the life and times of the Allman Brothers frontman now find themselves the targets of a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from the tragic on-set acccident that claimed the life of a crew member earlier this year.

In the second trailer for Tate Taylor's James Brown biopic 'Get on Up,' we're informed that James Brown (Chadwick Boseman) made it to soul superstardom without -- and perhaps in spite of -- his mother (Viola Davis), who only came into his life once he achieved success.

Unless he's caught in a trap and can't walk out, it looks like 'The Great Gatsby' director Baz Luhrmann will be directing a film about the life of Elvis Presley, though it's unknown how much of the king of Rock and Roll's life the film will cover.

The director of the upcoming Motley Crue biopic promises "a great movie."

Dexter Fletcher has left the project, citing the usual "creative differences."

Sacha Baron Cohen cited "creative differences" when he departed the developing Freddie Mercury biopic earlier this year, and reports at the time suggested that Mercury's surviving bandmates in Queen were looking to produce a sanitized version of the flamboyant frontman's life story. But according to drummer Roger Taylor, that isn't entirely accurate.

The Freddie Mercury biopic is one of those recent projects trapped in development hell. Though funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen of 'Borat' fame was attached to the lead role for some time, he has since dropped out, leaving the project to its likely demise, according to the film's writer.

After considerable wait, the Jimi Hendrix biopic 'All Is By My Side' is almost upon us. Above is an officially released photo of star Andre 3000 of the hip-hop group OutKast as the legendary guitarist.

We’ve been closely following the news coming out about ‘All Is By My Side,’ the upcoming biopic about Jimi Hendrix, from the beginning of its filming to drummer Kenny Aronoff‘s work on the soundtrack to the  lack of support given it by Hendrix’s estate.
