Tarantino: 'Who will play Hendrix?'

Quentin Tarantino fears he will have to ditch plans for a Jimi Hendrix biopic, as he has failed to find the perfect actor to play the iconic guitarist.

The maverick movie-maker has struck a deal with the late Purple Haze star's brother Leon to produce the film.

But although filming is scheduled for later this year, Tarantino still hasn't found his Hendrix.

A source says: "Quentin is now worried it won't get off the ground."
