It was announced today that Imogen Poots (No, not the Imogen Poots you went to camp with. A different Imogen Poots.) will join Andre Benjamin, aka Andre 3000, in the upcoming Jimi Hendrix biopic, All By My Side.

Also joining the cast of the film is Captain America: The First Avenger's Hayley Atwell. Who the actresses will play has yet to be announced, but surely a Linda Keith character will play a part in the film. Keith, girlfriend of Keith Richards, is credited with discovering Hendrix in a manhattan club.
With cast members joining the production quickly, one has to wonder what other rock icons will be portrayed in the film, and who will play them. If you were casting director, who would you pick to play Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, or any of Hendrix's other friends and contemporaries?
Perhaps if Johnny Depp weren't so busy with Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger, he could portray Keith Richards.
