Sony Pictures Classics has released the trailer for The Burnt Orange Heresy, which features iconic Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger in a supporting role as a shady art gallery owner.
Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debicki and Donald Sutherland also star in the movie, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival last September. The film was also shown at the Toronto International Film Festival. It will open in Los Angeles and New York on March 6.
The Burnt Orange Heresy is based on Charles Willeford‘s crime novel of the same name.
The story focuses on art critic James Figueras (Bang) and Berenice Hollis (Debicki), who are hosted by art collector Joseph Cassidy (Jagger) at his estate on Italy’s Lake Como.
Cassidy convinces the couple to steal a painting by the reclusive artist Jerome Debney (Sutherland).
The movie is Jagger’s first significant screen role since 2001’s The Man From Elysian Fields.
Director Giuseppe Capotondi has revealed that the movie could be Jagger’s last-ever movie.
“We heard that he was looking for a last film to make and so we sent the script,” he said. “He liked it and I went to London to see him.”
“It was very unnerving before going in, but he’s just a gentle soul. He wanted to do it and then when he was on set, it was just like any other director and actor,” Capotondi added. “He wasn’t Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones. It’s working with the legend, but the good thing is that he doesn’t act like one.”
