On this project and the many others he has on tap - including an Elvis Presley biopic with Fox 2000, an untitled HBO rock ‘n’ roll series with Martin Scorsese and Terence Winter, and both a scripted drama series and a Broadway play based on 20 Feet From Stardom, Morgan Neville‘s Oscar-nominated documentary about backup singers (in which Jagger appears) - he wants to prove his ability to be more than a rock legend.ĮXCLUSIVE: Mick Jagger-Produced James Brown Biopic Casts Its Mick Jagger Show with Brown and Byrd.īut it’s not just insight into dancing and music that Jagger intends to bring to this $30 million undertaking from Universal Pictures. This is the type of expertise that almost nobody else has, based on first-hand experience: In 1964, Jagger and the Stones performed at the concert captured on film as The T.A.M.I. It didn’t take long, though, before Jagger began showing actor Nelsan Ellis how his character, Brown’s collaborator and producer Bobby Byrd, actually danced. “I was keenly aware that a rock star was watching, but I just said, ‘What the hell?’ “ “It was a little intimidating,” Taylor says. No one seems to remember the songlist, as the alcohol was flowing fast and freely.
Then, a circle formed, and everyone - including Jagger - took a turn in the center, busting out their best moves. After the plates were cleared, Jagger’s longtime partner, the fashion designer L’Wren Scott, 47, slipped her iPod onto a dock and began dancing with the film’s executive producer John Norris. The night before, in this same room, Jagger hosted a dinner that morphed into a raucous dance party for some 25 cast and crewmembers of Get on Up. “Then,” he says, “you get on with the creative part of it.” He is lithe, dressed in sneakers and a baby-blue cashmere sweater, and radiates the kind of healthy glow that comes with Jagger’s all-organic sober lifestyle, something he has practiced since 2001. He’s ready to talk business, or more specifically, how he has found himself, at age 70, juggling production duties in several notable film and television projects. He slinks into the gilded ballroom of the former plantation-turned-historic Dunleith Inn, settles his tiny frame into a plush velvet couch and slips on his glasses, notes in hand. 24, and Jagger is well into his first week on the set, just a few miles away from where the film’s director, Tate Taylor, lives. He’s come here to be on the set of Get on Up, the James Brown biopic he is producing with his Jagged Films partner, Victoria Pearman.
