Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the second DEPARTED-themed story of the day. This one involving William Monahan again, but instead of DiCaprio and another Andy Lau remake we have Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese.

Scorsese is packing a lot on his plate right now, but every project his name is announced as attached to sounds interesting, so I can't complain.

The flick in question is called THE LONG PLAY, a rock-n-roll epic that Scorsese is in line to direct, Monahan is in line to rewrite and Jagger is in line to produce. All based on an idea by Mick Jagger.

Paramount has it right now. The film would follow two friends through over 40 years in the music business, starting in the early days of R&B and going through modern hip-hop. Since Variety also mentioned the "rock-n-roll epic" part, one would assume it'll encompass that aspect as well. This is a weird-sounding project. Not the premise so much as the people attached to make it happen. Count me intrigued.
