The Stones' Exile Story To Get Movie Treatment
The turbulent making of their classic album to be made into a drama
Deadline Hollywood reports that Richard Branson's film production company, Virgin Produced has acquired the rights to Robert Greenfield’s 2008 book Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones.
Unlike past looks at this time in the Stones career (such as the excellent Stones In Exile), this film is thought to be a drama not a documentary.
Like the book, the film will focus on the professional and personal relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards as the band recorded their classic Exile on Main Street album in the south of France in the summer of 1971.
