Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger is set to play a lighthouse keeper in the latest film from acclaimed director Alice Rohrwacher, currently shooting on the Italian island of Stromboli. According to Italian media reports, Jagger was photographed arriving on the island by helicopter to take on the role in Three Incestuous Sisters, Rohrwacher's adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's 2005 "visual novel."
Film Details and Cast
Rohrwacher, who won the best screenplay award at Cannes in 2018 for Happy as Lazzaro and earned critical praise for the 2023 film La Chimera starring Josh O'Connor, is making her English-language debut with this project. Three Incestuous Sisters is a self-created fairytale by Niffenegger, best known for The Time Traveler's Wife, about three sisters who fall in love with a lighthouse keeper's son.
Jagger joins a previously announced cast that includes Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, Saoirse Ronan, and Josh O'Connor, with O'Connor playing Jagger's character's son. The musician has appeared sporadically in feature films over the decades, including lead roles in Performance and Ned Kelly (both 1970), as well as supporting parts in the 1992 sci-fi film Freejack, the 1997 play adaptation Bent, and the 2001 drama The Man from Elysian Fields. Beyond acting, Jagger has been active as a producer on projects such as the World War II codebreaker drama Enigma, the all-female comedy remake The Women, and the James Brown biopic Get on Up.
