Update: The Long Play and William Monahan

The Long Play script that filmmaker William Monahan was hired to rewrite back in 2007 is no longer happening as a feature film. Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that the Mick Jagger/Martin Scorsese project about the rock music business, formerly intended to be a film titled The Long Play, will now be produced as an HBO period drama series. However, Mr. Monahan is not attached, anymore. I guess his rewrite of The Long Play is only of interest to scholars, such as myself, now. I know I've been abusing the term "scholar" a lot lately, but it's hard to stop when it's a major part of your identity.

The rest of my blog entry about Mr. Monahan's days as a musician still stands, though. Read it.
