Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese will team up with rock ’n’ roll icon Mick Jagger to direct and produce The Long Play for Paramount Pictures, it was announced today. Re-teaming Scorsese with The Departed scripter Bill Monahan, the film will be set in the world of the music business, and span over three decades.

The movie — which Jagger and Victoria Pearman will produce, along with Scorsese — is based on an original idea of Jagger’s, though he is not expected to appear in a starring role, much to the consternation of fans of Freejack and 1997’s Bent.

Scorsese recently entered into a four-year, first-look deal with Paramount Pictures to direct and produce entertainment across all platforms, including feature films, made-for-DVD works, digital content and television for both Paramount and its indie arm, Paramount Vantage. Jagger and Scorsese recently collaborated on a feature-length, yet-to-be-titled Rolling Stones concert documentary shot at The Beacon Theater in New York, and set to be released later this autumn.
