Mick Jagger Wants Your Sticky Fingers to Write Him a Hot Biopic

From his tongue and lips to God’s ears, Mick Jagger told GQ in a new interview that a Rolling Stones biopic is of absolute interest to him — just not in the style of whatever is going on with those four Beatles films. “I don’t want to impart it to you, but I know how I see it,” he explained. “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. You’d have to think, what are you going to zero in on? And where’s your two years of interest?” (Apologies to Deliver Me From Nowhere, the Bruce Springsteen flick that hasn’t reached the same rock-star cachet.) Jagger didn’t offer any specifics, though, on the ideal diptych of years for a depiction of the band. “I don’t know which section,” he said, “because it’s a long period.” Jagger also had no actor in mind to portray him. But back to the pressing question: What would be the most compelling period in Stones history to translate for the big screen? We’ll pitch the chaotic, cameo-filled day of filming The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus; the French-villa bacchanalia during the Exile on Main St. sessions; or the night when Charlie Watts got out of his pajamas and put on a suit to punch Jagger square in the face. Please offer other good ideas in the comments.
