Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger hasn’t starred in a feature film since the 2001 drama The Man from Elysian Fields. Prior to that, his sparse filmography also included Freejack, Ned Kelly, and Running Out of Luck and numerous documentaries.
Jagger came up with the idea for the film Tabloid and plans to produce it with Victoria Pearman under his own Jagged Films label. The rock star brought in Josh Olson (A History of Violence) to write the screenplay.
In the thriller, Jagger will play an unscrupulous international media mogul who seduces a young journalist into his immoral world. No further details on Tabloid is available at this time. Olson recently wrote the first draft of One Shot, based on the Lee Child novel, that has Tom Cruise playing Jack Reacher.
Jagger founded Jagged Films with Victoria Pearman in 1995, and its first release was the World War II drama Enigma in 2001. In 2008, the company began work on an adaptation of the 1939 George Cukor film The Women, which starred Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Debra Messing.
