Mick Jagger eyes Rolling Stones biopic inspired by Beatles film project

Inspired by Hollywood's ambitious plans for The Beatles, Mick Jagger is reportedly contemplating a cinematic or television project dedicated to The Rolling Stones' storied career. This consideration comes as director Sam Mendes prepares to release four interconnected films about the Fab Four, each offering a unique perspective from John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. The Beatles films are slated for a joint cinema release in April 2028, a move that has apparently spurred Jagger to reconsider his own band's legacy on screen.

Sources close to Jagger suggest he has been "seriously thinking" about developing a film or series about the band. While he has historically avoided delving deeply into the band's history publicly, Mendes's project has prompted him to re-evaluate. This interest aligns with comments Jagger made to GQ weeks prior, where he acknowledged the appeal of a Rolling Stones biopic but emphasized a preference for narratives that zoom in on specific, impactful periods of the band's life, rather than attempting to encapsulate decades of history in a single production.

The potential Rolling Stones project would follow a growing trend of musical biopics, with recent successes like "Bohemian Rhapsody," "Elvis," and the upcoming Michael Jackson film demonstrating continued audience appetite for artist-focused cinema. Meanwhile, Jagger is also actively involved in acting, currently filming "Three Incestuous Sisters" by Italian director Alice Rohrwacher on the island of Stromboli, where he plays a lighthouse keeper.
