Mick Jagger says he is interested in a biopic about the Rolling Stones, though he has not settled on what part of the band's history it would cover.
According to Deadline, Jagger recently spoke with GQ about the idea, pointing to two films as reference points. He served as a producer on Get On Up, the 2014 James Brown biopic, and cited A Complete Unknown, the 2024 Bob Dylan film, as another example of how the format can work.
"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 thinking through the structural question. "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."
When asked which section of the Rolling Stones' career a film might focus on, he said he did not yet have an answer. "I don't know which section, because it's a long period," he said.
The Rolling Stones formed in London in 1962 and remain active more than six decades later, giving any potential filmmaker a vast catalog of eras and events to choose from.
The conversation comes as the Beatles biopic project moves toward production. Deadline reported that director Sam Mendes is set to helm a four-film series about the Beatles, with each film told from a different band member's perspective. Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison, Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon and Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr.
Jagger did not name a director or writer for any Rolling Stones project, and no formal announcement has been made.
