Wenner has conducted just three interviews in the past two years, with Bono, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama, according to Rolling Stone.

“The Rolling Stone Interview” franchise has published conversations with celebrities such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Madonna.

“We are thrilled to bring this series to life through film, giving our readers a deep and visual look into these intimate moments," stated Rolling Stone president-COO Gus Wenner, son of the magazine's founder.
