Grateful Dead’s leader Jerry Garcia will be the main character in a movie made about him and his band, said Billboard. Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are going to produce it. These two directors (producers) have already created such movies as “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Cold Mountain” and “Election”. Everyone is sure that they’re capable of making something really good about Jerry. The base for scenario shall include episodes that were described by Robert Greenfield in his book about Garcia “Dark Star”. Robert’s work incorporates various stories about Grateful Dead’s frontman, which were told by his close friends. Who exactly will play Jerry’s role is not know yet. Producers are saying that their movie will show Garcia’s early days when his music interests and talents began to show up. Also, these guys are planning to focus upon the roots of Grateful Dead, this band’s influences and later growth. However, this move is not the first one which shall describe Grateful Dead. Way back in 1977 Jerry Garcia himself made a move about his musical creation called “The Grateful Dead Movie”.
