Shailene Woodley finds singing ‘scary’ for Janis Joplin biopic
Shailene Woodley opened up about the struggles of playing Janis Joplin in a biopic
Shailene Woodley sat down for an interview where she opened up about the struggles of playing Janis Joplin in a biopic.
With the project having been in production for years, the actress said, "Singing is very scary. It's very vulnerable.”
The film was announced to be moving forward last year with the aid of California's tax credit about which the actress remarked at the time, "I have a feeling Janis would be smiling ear to ear, zipping down the PCH in her psychedelic Porsche knowing her story is bringing opportunities and funding to the city and people that held so much significance to her.”
In an appearance on The Tonight Show later on, Woodley said of the biopic, "We've been working on it for seven years now, and it's just — she's such a groovy chick, man. She really brought the light to this planet in a really singular way."
She is working with Linda Perry on the movie, lead artist of 4 Non Blondes, who she described as an "incredible songwriter, singer and music producer, ... and she and I have been working very closely for a few years now.”
