Martin Scorsese “Shine(s) A Light” on the Rolling StonesMay 31st, 2007 in Directors, Documentary |

Martin Scorsese didn’t say “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction” from his latest film. The acclaimed director’s new project is called “Shine a Light” and takes a look at the Rolling Stones. He took his cameras and a cast that included a virtual “who’s who” in cinematography to document the Rolling Stones 2006 shows at the Beacon Theater in New York City. The film will be released on September 21st nationwide.
It comes as little surprise that Scorsese is a big Stones fan as he uses a number of their songs in many of his hit movies. With the team he has assembled (Director of Photography, Oscar(R) winner Robert Richardson (”The Aviator,” “JFK”), supervised the camera team comprised of several highly acclaimed cinematographers, including Oscar(R) winner John Toll (”The Last Samurai,” “Braveheart”), Oscar(R) winner Andrew Lesnie (”The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, “King Kong”), Oscar(R) nominee Stuart Dryburgh (”The Piano,” “The Painted Veil”), Oscar(R) nominee Robert Elswit (”Magnolia,” “Good Night and Good Luck”), Oscar(R) nominee Emmanuel Lubezki (”Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events,” “Sleepy Hollow”) and Ellen Kuras (”Summer of Sam,” “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”) it sounds like this will be a music/movies fan must see film of the Fall.
