Mick Jagger is set for his first acting role since 2001's little-seen The Man from Elysian Fields, playing a Murdoch-esque international media mogul in a new film called Tabloid, according to Deadline.

Jagger will serve as producer on the new project, which apparently is derived from his original idea. It is being made through his company Jagged Films, and A History of Violence writer Josh Olson has been hired to script it.

Jagger has dabbled in movie production over the years, receiving producer credits on the 2008 all-star comedy The Women and 2001 wartime drama Enigma, as well as Shine a Light, the Rolling Stones documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. He has nursed acting ambitions for much longer, making both Ned Kelly and Performance in 1970.
