Mick Jagger is reportedly considering a film or television project about the Rolling Stones, a significant shift from his previous reluctance to explore his life story. Sources suggest that the upcoming quartet of films about The Beatles, directed by Sam Mendes and slated for release in 2028, has piqued Jagger's interest and prompted him to reconsider a biopic.
While Jagger, 83, has historically shied away from autobiographical endeavors, a friend indicated that he is now "sincerely thinking about" a project that would allow him to "have a voice" and convey "things that would be important to him." This marks a change from his past hesitations to explain events from the band's six-decade history.
Jagger has prior experience in film and television through his production company, Jagged Films, and has also been involved in documentaries about the Rolling Stones, including Martin Scorsese's 2008 concert film "Shine a Light" and Brett Morgen's Emmy-nominated "Crossfire Hurricane" from 2013. He also appeared in the 1992 film "Freejack."
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were often portrayed as rivals in the media, although Mendes' ambitious project focusing on each Beatles member individually may have influenced Jagger's current contemplation.
