(The Blues) The Rolling Stones' experiences while making classic album Exile On Main Street are to be explored in a feature film about the band. And director Andy Goddard - known for his work on TV series Downton Abbey and Marvel's superhero shows on Netflix - is currently aiming to cast actors in the lead roles of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Entitled Exile On Main Street: A Season In Hell With The Rolling Stones, it's based on the 2008 book by Robert Greenfield. Deadline.com reports that filming is set to commence towards the end of this year.

The double-album was originally released in 1972 after three years of writing followed by recording sessions in the cellars of a villa in France. It frequently appears in lists of the greatest records of all time. Read more here.
