Martin Scorsese Missed Out On Filming Richards Arrest.

Martin Scorsese Missed Out On Filming Richards Arrest....

Director Martin Scorsese was left disappointed he didn't manage to film police arresting Rolling Stones star Keith Richards for the Dvd edition of his new rockumentary Shine A Light.

Scorsese was flying to Los Angeles from the Berlin Film Festival in Germany, where the concert movie premiered in February (08), and agreed to drop the guitarist off en route in Newark, New Jersey.

Police met the rocker at the airport, where Richards claims he was arrested over a passport mix up - and Scorsese was left watching the saga without being able to film the Brown Sugar legend's exchange with airport cops.

Richards says, "I got collared by the cops and dragged off. Something about the numbers in my passport, but I think it had to do with supervisors wanting to meet me.

"Martin saw me physically being arrested. He's sorry he didn't get that scene".
