Stones doc coming this fall on HBO

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE: HBO said yesterday that the ambitious Rolling Stones documentary being directed by Brett Morgan (The Kid Stays in the Picture) will air this fall in what promises to be a major TV event. The painstakingly researched film is going by the working title The Rolling Stones: The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World. Co-Presidents of Programming Michael Lombardo and Richard Plepler made the announcement at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour. "This is all done as part of the band's 50th anniversary," said. "This documentary has the full involvement of the four current band members—Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron—as well as the former band members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor. We'll follow the band from their early club days through their arrival as the greatest band in the world." "Nobody has put the story together as a narrative," Morgan told Rolling Stone in March. "We've been looking under every rock, going through their archives. It will be music never heard before, and I've conducted 50-plus hours of interviews so far. By the time we're done, they will be the most extensive group interviews they've ever done." (8/2a)
