It has been reported that Harry Styles is now the front runner to be cast as Mick Jagger in an upcoming Rolling Stones biopic. The new film is set to follow the Stones as they record their 1972 album Exile On Main Street.
The Line of Best Fit reports that rumours of Styles being cast in the role grew after his likeness to the front man was noticed in the upcoming Christopher Nolan directed Dunkirk. The new biopic is to be based on the the book Exile On Main Street: A Season in Hell with The Rolling Stones.
It has also been given a working title of the same name as the book. No release date for the picture has been announced yet but it is expected to be released sometime in the winter. Andy Goddard of Downtown Abbey will serve as director.
