LOS ANGELES?- The theatrical release of Martin Scorsese's concert
documentary about the Rolling Stones has been postponed by seven months
to sometime next April, distributor Paramount Classics said on Thursday.

A spokeswoman said the Viacom Inc.-owned studio needed more time to set
up the promotional campaign for "Shine A Light," noting that the band is
busy touring Europe until August 26.

The film, whose title comes from an old Rolling Stones gospel song, was
shot during two performances at New York's Beacon Theatre last fall, when
guest performers included bluesman Buddy Guy, rocker Jack White of the
White Stripes, and pop singer Christina Aguilera.

Scorsese, who often uses Rolling Stones compositions in his movies, was
in Rome early last month to screen a rough cut of the film for the band.
The documentary originally had been set to open in theaters on September
21.

The Rolling Stones recently released a four-disc DVD documenting various
stops on the 2006 leg of their "Bigger Bang" world tour. Singer Mick
Jagger is also preparing for the October release of an album compiling
tracks from his various solo endeavors.
