Interesting choice only for the reason that he vaguely resembles Jimi and because of the fact that he is not an actor.

Andre Benjamin has acted in several films now. It's interesting to read the estate's reasons for attempting to stall production, which amount to "show me the money". If they're moving ahead, they already figured a way around the estate's demands, which may lead to a court fight.
