A New Rolling Stone Documentary Is Announced

By JAMES C. MCKINLEY JR.

A new documentary about the Rolling Stones, which chronicles their early years and their rise to stardom, will debut on HBO in the United States on Nov. 15, as part of the band's 50th anniversary celebration, the network announced on Thursday.  The film, “Crossfire Hurricane,” was directed by Brett Morgen, the documentary filmmaker known for films like “The Kid Stays in the Picture” and “Chicago 10.”

The band gave the project its blessing and acted as executive producers, opening up private collections of photos and film footage.  Mr. Morgen has said “the film will deliver the original, bold, sexy and dangerous flavor of the iconic rock band,” tracing their tumultuous rise in the music business, riots and all. It will contain never-released footage and fresh interviews with the band members, he has said.
