Like father, like son. Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger's son, James, has landed himself a role in a film about the life of composer Vivaldi.

James Jagger, 23, whose mother is Texan model Jerry Hall, will play one of the composer's pupils, Alessandro Grimani in "Vivaldi- The Red Priest," his first major film role. The movie is set to be released in 2009.

Jagger, who studied acting in Cambridge, has already won critical acclaim for his role in London play Lone Star last year. He also went on to study with Susan Batson, a coach to Nicole Kidman and George Clooney.
