I was reading over the weekend about Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese's latest collaboration - a project for HBO about the music industry in New York during the Seventies.

Chadwick Boseman is to star in the forthcoming James Brown biopic that's being produced by Mick Jagger. The film, which was reported to be in the works last October (2012), has now been given a green light after casting its lead, Variety reports. The Help's Tate Taylor is on board as director and, according to The Wrap, is hoping to cast three of the stars of his 2011 hit in supporting roles: Viola Davis, Nelsan Ellis and Oscar winner Octavia Spencer.

Mick Jagger is to help turn James Brown's life story into a movie. The Rolling Stones frontman has joined Hollywood veteran Brian Grazer as a producer on the upcoming biopic. Grazer has been working on the project for some time, hatching plans with James Brown himself before the singer passed away in 2006.
