Los Angeles: The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger has expressed his interest for the biopic for his British Rock Band, which was formed in 1962. 

He recently expressed interest in a biopic for his band, pointing to examples like 2024’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and the 2014 James Brown film Get On Up, on which Jagger served as a producer, reports deadline.com.

“Yeah, it interests me,” he told GQ.

“I don’t want to impart it to you, but, I know how I see it. There’s lots of ways of doing biopics. So most of the time when you do a biopic, you do one small section of someone’s life bookended by some other stuff. Take the Bob Dylan movie. You do the moment when Bob went electric.”

Jagger continued: “You’d have to think, what are you going to zero in on? And where’s your two years of interest? I mean that Bob Dylan one was two years, (the) James Brown one that I produced was slightly more.”

But which section of the Rolling Stones’ career would an ideal biopic entail?

“I don’t know which section, because it’s a long period,” said Jagger.

Last February, Deadline exclusively revealed that Sam Mendes is set to direct each installment of The Beatles, A Four-Film Cinematic Event, through his Neal Street Productions and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Each film will connect, telling the band’s story from each member’s point of view.

The films star Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr.

Talking about Mick Jagger, he has co-written most of the Stones' songs with lead guitarist Keith Richards; their songwriting partnership is one of the most successful in rock music history.

His career has spanned more than six decades, and he has been widely described as one of the most popular and influential front men in the history of rock music.
