Scorsese started filming the untitled docu Sunday in New York at the Stones’ performance at President Clinton’s celebrity-packed birthday bash at New York’s Beacon Theatre, and will also film at the Beacon tonight. Clinton’s remarks at the event are expected to be included in the film, which will focus on the two concerts from the group’s current “A Bigger Bang” tour as well as historical and contemporary behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.

The Stones made a portion of the tickets for Sunday night’s show available to the Clinton Foundation to support its charitable work around the world.

Paramount plans to release the film in fourth-quarter 2007.
