The people behind Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown are planning a Syd Barrett movie

Could Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett and The Mamas & The Papa’s Cass Elliot be getting the big screen treatment?

One of the people behind the brand new Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is working on a movie about Pink Floyd founder Syd Barrett.

Speaking on the podcast The Town With Matthew Belloni, producer Peter Jaysen – whose company, Veritas Entertainment, was involved in securing the rights to Dylan’s musical archive and life story for the film – revealed that both Barrett and late The Mamas & The Papas singer Cass Elliot are in line for the big screen treatment.

“Due to our involvement with Bob doing A Complete Unknown, we’ve been fortunate enough that right now we’re working on, with Wash Westmoreland, the great writer-director, a Syd Barrett movie, one of the founders of Pink Floyd.
