According to Esquire.com, Mr. Benjamin is rumored to be up for the biopic role of legendary electric guitarist, Jimi Hendrix:

In contrast to those rumors is this recent Esquire interview with “Captain America” star Haley Atwell, who claims that Andre is still on tap to play Jimi Hendrix in a forthcoming biopic. Maybe. As she claims: “Next up is possibly a Jimi Hendrix biopic — an independent film with Andre 3000 from OutKast playing Jimi Hendrix. But I don’t know, really.”

It is also rumored that Big Boi and Andre 3000 are on the path to the releasing a new album some time next year:

According to Hip Hop Wired, a “rock solid industry source” has claimed that Outkast is on track to release a new album by early next year. Both Dre and Big are working on solo projects; they want those out by the end of 2011 .
