“He had all the girls, and he had all the fan mail.” Magnolia Pictures has revealed the official trailer for a documentary film called The Stones and Brian Jones, another fascinating music history doc joining the many others in the past few years. From acclaimed doc filmmaker Nick Broomfield, who last directed My Father and Me and Last Man Standing. The film focuses on music mastermind Brian Jones – the founder, rhythm/lead guitarist, and original leader of the Rolling Stones when it was founded in 1962. Featuring revealing interviews with all the main players and unseen archival footage being released for the first time, The Stones and Brian Jones explores the creative musical genius of Brian Jones, and it also uncovers how the founder of what became the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world was left behind in the shadows of history. This looks like it might be for die-hard fans more than others, but should still be engaging to watch.
