The Rolling Stones is reportedly starring in an upcoming movie to coincide with the release of their new album.

Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and Ronnie Wood recently made news with a new documentary to be helmed by none other than the team behind the Hollywood hit series "Keeping Up With Kardashians."

As per The Sun newspaper reports, this documentary will capture the journey of making their upcoming album "Hackney Diamonds."

According to an informant with knowledge of proceedings, the British rock stars have collaborated with Fulwell 73 to create something unique.

This same production team was responsible for landing a significant agreement with Hulu.

"The film will chart the band as they started working on the 12 tracks which appear on 'Hackney Diamonds.'"

The source said, "It will give followers an intimate and candid look at Mick, Keith, and Ronnie as they work their magic in the studio, including the banter between them."

The Rolling Stones New Album 2023

Set to be released next month, this will be Rolling Stone's first album of new music in 18 years.

However, it will also serve as a tribute to Charlie Watts, their original drummer, who sadly died last year. Not only that, but he even played drums on two of these tracks from this album.

On Thursday, fans of this band had something new to get excited about - a track list containing an upcoming single titled "Sweet Sounds of Heaven." featuring Lady Gaga and Stevie Wonder and clocking in at over seven minutes.

When The Rolling Stones were in Los Angeles, Mick revealed Lady Gaga had been recording in a studio nearby.

Mick told the Associated Press, "She walked in next to me, and we started singing together. She sang it live, and then we went in and tidied it up a bit."

The Rolling Stones recently collaborated with producer Andrew Watt to create a groundbreaking album, bringing together an all-star cast of performers like Bill Wyman.

The recording process took place in multiple studios throughout December and January.

Andrew was instrumental in gathering this impressive lineup and ensuring the project succeeded.

Explaining why the band took an extensive hiatus between albums, Keith attributed the long wait primarily to Mick.

Keith said, "When you have a singer that wants to sing, you grab him and throw him in the studio."

The guitarist claimed that the songs for their new album flowed out with "energy and urgency" once they were in the studio. Mick jokingly attributed the long wait between albums to his laziness.

"I don't want to be big-headed, but we wouldn't have put this album out if we hadn't liked it. We said we had to make a record we love ourselves."

"We are quite pleased with it, we are not big-headed about it, but we hope you all like it."
