Having already worked together on the pretty ok Shine a Light concert film, one of the greatest living film directors is teaming up with one of the greatest living rock ‘n roll frontmen to collaborate on a new project.  Spinner reports that Martin Scorsese and Mick Jagger are coming together with writer Terrence Winter (who wrote for one of the greatest TV shows of all time, The Sopranos), to create a new HBO series that will act as “a rock ‘n’ roll’ epic.”  Forgive my hyper-usage of the word “greatest” in this paragraph, but c’mon—Scorsese, Jagger and a Sopranos writer?  You could do far worse.
