Darkly Lit

Amir Bar-Lev ("The Tillman Story," "Trouble the Water") will direct a biopic about Jerry Garcia says Variety.

Based on the Robert Greenfield book Dark Star the story follows the iconic Grateful Dead frontman's early life before joining the band that made him a household name.

Garcia's style fused a combination of blues, rock, psychedelia and a mastery of improvisational guitar.

Topper Lilien adapts the screenplay.

Eric Eisner, Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa will produce the film
