The film, directed by Mike Figgis, will premiere on October 12 at this year’s London Film Festival. It covers both Wood’s music career, from his upbringing in West London, through The Birds, The Jeff Beck Band and up to the Stones – as well as his work as an artist.
“Who would have thought that a lad from Hillingdon would be able to combine all his hobbies and convert them into such diverse careers,” says Wood. “It’s such an incredible feeling to look back on my life and discuss key moments along the way that I remember vividly as if they were yesterday. I am flattered that so many talented people took the time to say such nice things about me!”
The film features interviews Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Rod Stewart.

Wood is on the phone to talk about the Rolling Stones' No Filter Tour, which goes on sale this week.
"I'm looking forward to this next adventure," he says, quickly adding that he never gets a real sense of how things will go until they've had their first rehearsal.
"The whole vibe is set for the tour at rehearsal," he says. "And nine times out of 10, it’s a really good start. Once we get over all the hellos and catching up on the time we haven’t seen each other, it’s back to the grindstone and, hopefully, things come flooding back to us, all the arrangements and chords."
Last year, he told the Telegraph, “The Rolling Stones will never retire.”
"After touring the U.K. and Europe this year," he recalls, "I thought, 'Oh well, maybe we’ll have a rest for a while.' And then you get your call-up papers. 'Do you fancy going to America?' 'Sure thing. Let’s go! It’s about time. It about time!”
"It’ll bring back some special memories," he says with a laugh.
Among the topics he weighs in on are sobriety and cancer, the tour, how his time in the Faces with Rod Stewart compares to being in the Stones and an upcoming visit to Paris to talk new music with Mick Jagger.
Do you see you guys doing another album of original material at some point?
A: Yeah, we’ve been hacking songs into shape. I’m gonna go off to Paris and see Mick next week and see what his latest thoughts are after he’s got together with Keith. It’s an ongoing thing of comparing what is on the cooker at the moment and some ideas we’ve had for years that we may embellish upon. It’s quite interesting building this new album. You can’t say there’s a title for it. The tracks haven’t actually been chosen yet. 
Q: Do you think diving back into your roots will have an impact on this new one?
A: It was an incredibly successful album and incredibly enjoyable to make. So we’ll take some of that into the studio with this new originals album.
About the possibility of a Faces reunion. Do you see that ever happening?
A: Well, I saw Rod last week, actually. I did a little Chuck Berry tribute gig last week at Ronnie Scott’s. And Rod turned up and he was diggin’ it in the audience but he had his leg in a cast. And then he appeared behind the piano and started singing “Sweet Little Rock & Roller.” (laughs). He was embarrassed because he had his leg in a cast. But we always stayed quite close, Rod and I. We’ve stayed in touch. So nothing would surprise me.
