Director Martin Scorsese is working on a documentary on the Rolling Stones, and will film their upcoming New York City theater shows for the project. It is unknown whether this is a project about the band's entire career or just the current tour, but the Washington Post reported that Scorsese's film crew will be on hand on October 29th and 31st, when the Stones play New York's Beacon Theatre.
It is rumored that one of the shows will be part of months-long celebration of former President Bill Clinton's 60th birthday, but there's been no confirmation of that, or when tickets will go on sale.
The legendary director has a long history in working on rock films. He was one of the primary cameramen on Woodstock, and shot most of the classic Woodstock footage of the Who, among others.
Scorsese went on to direct the Band's The Last Waltz and the recent Bob Dylan documentary No Direction Home.
Although the Stones have produced about a dozen concert films, they've only had one major career retrospective, 1989's 25x5.
The Rolling Stones will perform on Wednesday, October 4th, in Missoula, Montana at Grizzly Stadium.
