WHO SHOULD PLAY JERRY?
Jerry Garcia |
Variety is reporting that a
Jerry Garcia film is in the works. Amir Bar-Lev, director of the documentaries
The Tillman Story and
My Kid Could Paint That, has signed on to direct a biopic focusing on Garcia’s pre-Dead years. The film will reportedly be based on
Dark Star, an oral history of Garcia’s life written by Robert Greenfield. According to director Bar-Lev, the “daring script does justice to Garcia and steadfastly resists cliche.” There is no word on who will be portraying the Grateful Dead frontman.
