The project, "Slide Away," is being made by INXS video director Nick Egan and producer Clark Westerman. It will chronicle the life of the singer.

    Hutchence was found dead in November 1997 in a Sydney hotel room, the apparent victim either of suicide or accidental death from asphyxiation. His death at the age of 37 made international headlines and stunned fans.

    Producer Clark Westerman said the project has been in development for some time, but gained momentum following last year's reality TV show "Rock Star: INXS," where unknown singers vied to fill Hutchence's shoes, according to producer Clark Westerman.

    Unimpressed with the low-rated series, Westerman persuaded an initially reluctant Nick Egan, a British music video director and Hutchence pal who shot many of the band's clips, to take the helm of the project.

    "That is not the memory of what we are after, and that's not the story of who the man is. What we are aiming for is the journey through a person's life via their head," Westerman told the Hollywood Reporter.

    The project's name comes from a posthumous duet that paired Hutchence with U2's Bono, the producer said.

    Egan directed many of the videos from INXS' that gained international success in late-1980s and early-1990s with tracks like "Suicide Blonde", "Listen Like Thieves" and "New Sensation".Enditem
