The tenth studio album by British rockers The Rolling Stones «Exile on Main Street» is one of the best recordings of the group. The eccentric entrepreneur Richard Branson, founder of record label Virgin, found the story quite interesting record of the plate to turn it into a feature film.
By the spring of 1971, the band was in great debt to its native Britain, but to pay all taxes, Mick Jagger and his friends could not, which led to their departure from London. Jagger settled in Paris, while guitarist Keith Richards rented a villa near Nice. The other band members were scattered in the south of France. Basement Richards' villa converted into a studio where he recorded album «Exile on Main Street».
Then the group split with its manager Allen Klein, as a result of losing the right to trial a number of his compositions, written before 1971.
Working in the basement into a continuous party: changing session musicians, guests came, the flowed river of alcohol, and through the veins of Keith Richards with a vengeance ran heroin. Released in May 1972 «Exile on Main Street» was warmly received by critics and is still considered one of the best albums in the history of rock music.
History of the plate has already been shown on the screen recently - in 2010 released a documentary film "Rolling Stones" in exile". The project will be Branson's book by Robert Greenfield, "Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones”, published in 2008. The film tells about the personal and professional relationship between Jagger and Richards, and the script will write brothers Brandon and Phil Murphy, whose studio Sony has recently invited to write a biopic about Steve McQueen.
Branson and Jagger band brings together not just a future film project: a 90-company Virgin Richard has released three albums of rockers.
Note that the "Exile on Main Street" is not the only project on the "Rolling." In September will be released documentary on the fiftieth anniversary of the group, which now takes Brett Morgan.

Composer Hans Zimmer does not like to repeat, especially when working on the sequels. So he promises to come up with something new for "The Dark Knight 2: The Legend Continues", one of the most anticipated projects of summer 2012.
For a film by Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight 2" Hans Zimmer has designed musical score, based on the sounds of crowds, he suggested that people all over the world send him to record his vote, which he uses to create the soundtrack.
"It seemed like a good idea - have a part of monotone scores discordant tune. So, I thought," But what I will make hundreds of thousands of people do this? "And then we have organized a Web site in Germany, which sent wishing to record their votes. Success rather curious. "
"You have to watch the sequel as a completely independent film. Before I started," Sherlock Holmes "and before Chris started shooting, I conceived the idea. I went to the music department of Warner Bros. And asked:" I have already had the right to order a couple of days the biggest, most insane band in order to conduct an experiment for "Dark Knight"? If everything goes right, if the result does not like me or Chris, we will pretend that these two days and was not at all. "
"I had the idea to write music, or in any other way to get the orchestra to play differently. And, in general, it is possible, and the passages of our experiment began to appear in the trailer. In my possession are 25 minutes, very radical, very unlike anything that the material. There were two excellent points. First, when Chris came to the recording studio and has welcomed and appreciated what I was doing there. A second point that I am, in a sense, think cooler is the fact that the musicians had never before worked in this way, this experience very much. And months later, when I was working on "Sherlock", the band is still remembered those two days. So I know I'm on the right track. However, my only enemy right now - this time because I have too many ideas. "
"As for Chris, we always talk about him the same thing:" He's so secretive. "Well, I think this has two main reasons. First, in order to get a really good result, you should remain with yourself. And if all you are watching via the Internet, I think it interferes with creativity. And I think "The Dark Knight" - a perfect example that demonstrates this idea. All know that we are making a film about Batman. But as long as it went into the rolling, one could not imagine what it would be, this new film about Batman. "

Manson and his commune "Family" often stayed in the house of drummer, who introduced Charles to the producer Terry Melcher. For some time he was interested in Manson's album, but ultimately refused. It was assumed that suppressed anger at the man who rejected his music, and resulted in the brutal murder of the wife of director Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate of her house guests, as Melcher once lived in it.
