The creative force of Jerry Garcia, who died in 1995, is being made into a movie for 2012.

One catch… there will be none of Jerry Garcia’s music or that of the Greatful Dead in the film.

Amir Bar-Lev will direct the film, based on Dark Star: An Oral Biography of Jerry Garcia by Robert Greenfield. Variety’s article includes a statement from Garcia’s estate:

“We want to make clear that neither Grateful Dead Productions nor the Jerry Garcia Family LLC are in any way working with – or are in any other way affiliated with – the supposed upcoming Amir Bar-Lev-directed biopic about Jerry Garcia. We will not be licensing any recordings from Grateful Dead or Jerry Garcia’s music library for this production, nor will we provide the producer/director with access to any Garcia family members.”

Perhaps another sign of the End Times.
