Producers Albert Berger, Ron Yerxa and Eric Eisner have signed on to produce a biopic about Garcia. It is said that the untitled project will focus on the counterculture icon's early life in San Francisco before he joined the band that become The Grateful Dead.

This period includes Garcia's stint in the military(!), a life-changing car accident and his first creative encounters with members of the Northern California music scene such as future Dead bassist Phil Lesh. - more on this story
