Sir Mick Jagger has revealed he is developing a film about the young Elvis Presley.

The Rolling Stones frontman, who is producing James Brown biopic, Get On Up, as well as an untitled HBO "music-oriented" series, is also looking to bring the life of teenage Elvis to screen.

"I have been asked to be involved in producing a movie on an adolescent Elvis ... so that's in the works," he said.

Bobby Carnavale, Juno Temple and Olivia Wilde are to star in the HBO show, which will be directed by Martin Scorsese.

"I'm not in it. It's a story I worked on with Marty. It was going to be a movie and then we made it into a TV series," he explained.

"The action starts in 1973 in New York so it's a kind of a weird time because it's like the beginning of punk, the very beginning of hip-hop and so a lot is going on. It's fictional drama. The lead character is the owner of a record company and it's about his life."

The 71-year-old musician is also behind the HBO documentary Mr Dynamite: The Rise Of James Brown, which he was asked to produce before the film, which was directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney. It takes an overarching look at the Godfather of Soul's life before his death in 2006, at the age of 73.

"I was really interested, but I was kind of a bit documentary-ed out at that point," Mick said. "It's very time-consuming... but I said, 'Yeah and I'd really like to do the documentary.' Then I woke up the next morning and thought a feature film would be a great idea."

Mick, whose other upcoming production projects include the films Tabloid and The Tiny Problems Of White People with Colin Firth, said he is "doing fine" following the suicide of his longtime partner, L'Wren Scott in March.

"I'm doing fine. ... Everyone's been kind to me. My family's been very supportive, you know. I've had a lot of work to do so that's kept me, you know, in a good way. So I'm fine," he said.
