Grateful Dead Movie: Finally Happening?

The Grateful Dead are among numerous legendary rock groups -- Introduced Zeppelin as well as the Beatles also belong in this category -- whose music is almost impossible to license in the film. Unless of course obviously there is a massive budget to get on music rights (cough, Cameron Crowe), the prospect of using 'Hey Jude' or 'Misty Mountain Hop' within your movie are really low. However, the Grateful Dead might no more have this problem. According to Deadline, ICM remains given utilisation of the band's catalog and can produce a feature film built around their music. ICM's Bruce Kaufman, who did so on while using Beatles for 'Across the planet,A will probably be heading within the project. So, an 'Across the Universe' for Grateful Dead music -- that could be good or bad news, according to everything you considered the film. Some Beatles fans loved the incorporation of Great Four music in to a feature film, others think it is cheesy and unwatchable. Really, as extended simply because they include 'Sugar Magnolia' in this movie, we won't complain. [via Deadline] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
