| Breaking news: Janis project a no go? |

According to this source, it appears that the Janis Joplin movie won’t be filmed any time soon – if ever. My Portuguese is very poor but from what I can make out using my limited skills and Babelfish, they are experiencing issues with getting the rights to her music. The supposed director, Fernando Meirelles, says “I will not direct a film on Janis Joplin, the least not in the next year.” He then continues with
“But the musical producer that has the rights of musics of Janis Joplin did not like it. I believe that it wanted a film more to the life of the singer, as a staged set of documentation, without as many freedoms. As this way does not please me, the project was in an impasse.”
This does not mean for sure that the entire project is canceled. It could be that they’ll find another director. Or maybe wait until they can get the music rights. But until we know more, it’s hard to say. I’m still considering this, and all Janis Joplin movie related news, as role rumors. On a side note, I really do hope they find a way to make this movie. It would be really great to see Amy play something so completely different from what we’re used to seeing.
