Cult director Quentin Tarantino has slammed reports he is planning a big screen biopic of legendary guitar great Jimi Hendrix. The filmmaker insists rampant rumors about the project are unfounded and denies ever linking himself to such a project.

And Tarantino is keen to stress his devotion to new movie Grind House, which is currently in production.

A representative for the director tells PageSix.com, "It's not a project Quentin has any involvement with, and his representatives have never been contacted by anyone associated with it."
