I'd say actually it's not bad.
Similar high cheekbones, square jaw etc: www.onthecomeuptv.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/JIMI_B10_web_size2.jpg
Saying two black people look a bit similar =/= necessarily racism. They've done makeup and costume work to make them look similar, but for my money and from this photo alone it's a far better fit than, say, Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles or Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash.

Imagine the cry had they chosen a white actor and used make up.
They probably should have asked Prince as they have similar racial backgrounds.

I guess that is why they make actors act
and don't make them have cheekbone reconstruction for every biopic role.
(and musicians for that matter)

I was going to say I'm glad they haven't given him extra prosthetic makeup
Hopefully the actual performance will be good, but one press photo isn't making me feel like they've captured Jimi's essence

I just looked back at this comment
and thought it looked rather harsh. I meant it in defence of Andre and less in attack of you.

Andre 3000 = Black
Jimi Hendricks = Black
Therefore
Andre 3000 = Jimi Hendricks
