Written by . Published: November 22 2014
Actress Amy Adams' long-delayed Janis Joplin biopic is finally set to start shooting in 2015.
Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallee will take charge of the film, titled Janis Joplin: Get It While You Can, according to Deadline.com.
Adams was first attached to the film in 2010 when Fernando
Meirelles was on board to direct. Lee Daniels has also reportedly
shown interest.
The Oscar winner's project isn't the only film about Joplin
currently in the works - producer Peter Newman has been attempting
to make a film titled Joplin for the best part of a decade with
stars like Pink and Zooey Deschanel linked to the lead role. Tony
Award winner Nina Arianda has been cast as the tragic rocker for
that film.
