Trailer for Scorsese's Stones Documentary Unveiled

After featuring music by the Rolling Stones in a number of his movies -- 'The Departed,' 'Goodfellas' and 'Casino' among them -- it was only a matter of time before Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese featured the Stones themselves. Enter 'Shine a Light,' Scorsese's forthcoming documentary on the Rock and Roll Hallf of Famers, due in April. The film chronicles the band's two-night stand at New York's Beacon Theater last year, and peppers vintage Stones footage as well as celebrity appearances (Bill Clinton, Jack White, Christina Aguilera) throughout. The highlight thus far, however, is the following exchange between a member of the band's entourage and Scorsese:

Stones: "If Mick stands in front of the light for more than 18 seconds, he's gonna burn."
Scorsese: "You mean, like flames?"
