LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese is joining forces with Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger to make a movie spanning three decades in the music business.
Scorsese, 64, who on Sunday won the best director Oscar for "The Departed," will direct "The Long Play" and work with Jagger and the British rocker's business partner Victoria Pearman to produce the film, Paramount Pictures said on Tuesday.
The Viacom Inc.-owned studio said in a statement that Jagger came up with the idea for "The Long Play" several years ago. William Monahan, who also won an Oscar for writing "The Departed," will write the screenplay.
This is not the first time that Scorsese and Jagger, 63, have worked together. They recently collaborated on a feature length documentary about the Rolling Stones, which will be released in the fall. Portions were shot during a two-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater late last year.
Jagger's production company, Jagged Films, has made such movies as the World War Two thriller "Enigma."
Together with Dave Stewart from Eurythmics, Jagger won a Golden Globe two years ago for co-writing a song for the remake of the movie "Alfie." |

Shine A Light is the title of the Stones' documentary. The Long Play is a movie. Two seperate projects.

This project was first mooted at least 2-3 years ago - maybe longer, it was around or just after Mick appeared in "The Man From Elysian Fields". I assumed it had been dropped as all had been so quiet for some time.
Apparently, Mick doesnt want the tour to continue into September - maybe his involvement in producing this movie is a possible reason |

Rolling Stone Mick Jagger is set to collaborate with Martin Scorsese once again - on a new rock'n'roll film project entitled The Long Play.
Scorsese has described his idea for the film as a "rock'n'roll epic" and the script has been written by (US magazine) Rolling Stone writer Rich Cohen as well as Matthew Reiss.
The film synopsis follows two music business friends from the early days of R'n'B to contemporary hip hop.
Mick Jagger is already working with Scorcese on the Rolling Stones docufilm, United Stones, which is now in post-production. The Oscar-winning director followed the group on their A Bigger Bang Tour in the States last year.
Jagger has been busy lately producing various projects; one of which airs tonight on US station ABC. Jagger has produced and is the celebrity subject of a new comedy show, "Knights of Prosperity." Blue-collar workers plan to rob Jagger's '$52 million" apartment over the course of six-weeks.
The Stones are also working on the songs and music to soundtrack a new feature length animation film about a single mother living in New York City. "Ruby Tuesday" is expected to be completed in 2008.

$500 plus charges and parking - but if youre a model, you can sit in the front row as a paid 'extra' |

If it's anything like Being Mick, Knights of Prosperity, or 4 Flicks, it will suck......(see David Cassidy's monster). |
