A Janis Joplin biopic is in the works. Shailene Woodley will be starring in the movie as Joplin…and she’s also producing it! Joplin is sadly and famously part of the "27 club." There have been numerous attempts to make a biopic about Joplin, but so far none have crossed the finish line. The movie is expected to shoot over 30 days…and it’s getting a helping hand from the state of California. The biopic is getting $2.5-million in tax credits from the California Film Commission. “California meant so much to Janis Joplin…from the stoops of San Francisco to the wooden walls of Sunset Sound, the state became the stage upon which she explored not just the world of music, but the world of her vibrant humanity,” Woodley shares in a statement.
