Despite the squasheration from the Jimi Hendrix Estate, filming on Andre 3000's depiction of the guitar legend during his years in England has begun, according to the UK's Daily Mail and other media outlets, which published these photos of 3-Stacks stepping out of his trailer onto the set in character. Andre has previously commented on the uncertain nature of the project, titled All Is By My Side saying:

"Everybody wants to do the movie, but there are so many things that go into a biopic...It's kinda like, until you are on set doing it you can't say what's going on."

So now I guess we now we can definitely say: that's what's going on. More pics of Andre (and Jimi) below and after the jump.
