Los Angeles:
Rolling Stone legend Mick Jagger and veteran director Martin Scorsese are reportedly joining forces for an untitled 1970s rock and roll TV show.
The idea of the TV show, which was initially conceived by Jagger as a feature film, follows the exploits of a cocaine-fueled record executive in New York City circa 1977, when punk, disco and a new form of music called hip-hop collided, Ace Showbiz reported.
Jagger and Scorsese, who have previously collaborated for 2008's 'Shine a Light' which captures The Rolling Stones' 2006 Beacon Theatre performance on their A Bigger Bang Tour, will be donning the hat of executive producers of the show.
They have reportedly met with HBO's executives to discuss about the hour long drama.
Another notable name working on the project is Terence
Winter.
Scorsese, who recently nabbed an Emmy for directing the first episode of "Boardwalk Empire", will direct the new project's pilot in addition to serving as executive producer.
