Breaking Baz: Dave Stewart Sets Shekhar Kapur To Direct ‘Ebony McQueen’; Eurythmics Rocker Will Collaborate With A.R. Rahman On Coming-Of-Age Pic’s Songs & Score


Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart Will Collaborate With Shekhar Kapur & A.R. Rahman On the semiautobiographical coming-of-age movie ‘Ebony McQueen.'

director Shekhar Kapur will shoot feature film musical Ebony McQueen, a 1960s-early ’70s coming-of-age story inspired by the rock legend’s teen years in the North East of England and the discs and soundtracks that sparked his journey to becoming a musician. Then my older cousin Ian sent a couple of blues albums from Memphis, and this music blew my mind along with my brother’s record collection of Bob Dylan, Ray Charles, the Rolling Stones. The Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and the U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Registry, and Stewart’s the recipient of many other entertainment industry honors.
