Phillip Noyce and Kevin Spacey Producing Potential Scripted Shows For E!
30 April 2012 3:16 PM, PDT | Indiewire Television | See recent Indiewire Television news »
As the scales continue to tip back away from reality programming, E!, home of such pop culture-eating-itself products like the Kardashian franchise, "The E! True Hollywood Story," "Chelsea Lately," "The Soup" and "Ice Loves Coco," has become the latest network to announce its forays into scripted programming. What will an E! scripted show possibly be like? Well, judging from the nine one-hour series they've announced are currently in development, it's going to be somewhere in between "Gossip Girl," "Entourage" and maybe "Scandal." The complete list of shows from E! is below, but there are two projects that jump out. The first is "Fascination Street," from, among others, executive producer Phillip Noyce and writer Stephen Kijak (who directed the doc "Scott Walker: 30 Century Man"), a look at two brothers in a band that jumps between the past, when they were trying to make it big, and...

Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street book to become Virgin feature film

Richard Branson company to produce feature film based on Robert Greenfield's book about chaotic making of classic album
A book detailing one of the most tumultuous periods of The Rolling Stones is set to be turned into a film via Richard Branson's production company Virgin Produced, reports Deadline Hollywood.
Robert Greenfield's Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones examines the troubled genesis of the group's 10th UK album. The critically acclaimed record that includes the hits Rocks Off and Tumbling Dice, was made during recording sessions that were notoriously chaotic. The band, who had left Britain as tax exiles, decamped to the Villa Nellcôte in the south of France to record the double album. Drugs, alcohol and a stream of visiting celebrity friends (including William S Burroughs and Gram Parsons) were constant distractions, while the relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards »

Rolling Stones Get Big Screen Drama
22 April 2012 7:44 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The Rolling Stones have had plenty of time on the big screen -- with nearly a dozen documentary and concert films over the past 50-plus years. But soon, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and company will have the opportunity to watch the drama through someone else's eyes.
Richard Branson's Virgin Produced has acquired the rights to Robert Greenfield's 2008 book "Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones," Deadline exclusively reported. And in rare form, the film will be a drama about the Stones, not documentary-style.
The film, like Greenfield's book, will focus on the relationship between Jagger and Richards during the recording of their "Exile on Main St" album, both in and out of the studio, in the south of France in the summer of 1971, according to Deadline.
The Stones recently explored the same era in the 2010 documentary film "Stones in Exile." The movie, »

Making Of The Rolling Stones' Landmark 'Exile On Main Street' To Get Feature Film Treatment
22 April 2012 7:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the making of The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main Street (which many consider to be one of their best, if not greatest album) has been chronicled numerous times both in print and film (most recently in Stephen Kijak's documentary "Stones In Exile"), the entire story of those rocky sessions and the background that led to the album has a feature film scope. Certainly, Richard Branson sees things that way as he's throwing his producing powers behind a narrative movie that will bring the tale of Exile On Main Street to the big screen.
Virgin Produced has snapped up the rights to Robert Greenfield’s "Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones" with plans to turn it into a drama about the band. As The Rolling Stones headed into the making of the album, they were a group in disarray. They had recently »

Cast Rounded Out for Smiths Film ‘Shoplifters of the World’
10 February 2012 8:44 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
There are so many wonderful things about film as a medium, and, for my money, one of the very finest is its ability to educate. Say, for example, you’ve never heard a song by The Smiths, and your only familiarity with them stems from a phony, faux indie romantic comedy that was a big hit in 2009. If that applies to you, take Shoplifters of the World as an open invitation.
Directed by Stephen Kijak and based on true events, this ensemble comedy is set on the day of their breakup, following “an American man was devastated by the breakup of The Smiths and broke into a heavy metal radio station, taking the DJ hostage and demanding that he play non-stop Smiths songs.” From here, the events focus on “the gunman, the DJ and four best friends during those fateful hours.”
True to the band’s spirit, Shoplifters is going the indie route, »
