Mick Jagger is producing a biopic on music legend James Brown.
The Wrap reports the film will be directed by Tate Taylor, with Chadwick Boseman (Jackie Robinson in “42”) starring as Brown.
The film will portray Brown over a period of several decades, from his disadvantaged youth to his status as a bonafide music icon.
Brian Grazer and Eric Huggins are producing for Imagine Entertainment, while Mick Jagger and Victoria Pearman will produce under their Jagged Films banner. Taylor will also produce via his Wyolah Films, whose John Norris will executive produce.
Jagger will also be depicted as a character in the film along with his Rolling Stones bandmate Keith Richards, their fellow musician Little Richard and Syd Nathan, the founder of Kings Records.
Mick and The Rolling Stones wrapped up their “50 & Counting” tour in London’s Hyde Park last month.
