VIDEO : Martin Scorsese And Mic Jagger Produce New Rock Series 'Vinyl'

The new HBO's rock drama "Vinyl," which is slated to premiere in February, is like "Boardwalk Empire" in that the two hour premiere is pretty much a Scorcese film. Unlike "Boardwalk Empire," though, the Oscar-Award winning director plans to be more involved in this series. He said,"This is something that's very natural to me and very close to my heart." The series is a collaboration between himself, Rich Cohen, Mick Jagger and Terrence Winter. Jagger said it was a possibility that the idea would turn into a film but added "when TV series started coming online and becoming interesting, respectable and money making, we decided to make it a series."
