Following the huge success of Bohemian Rhapsody, could this be the next big music biopic? It certainly seems that way – especially as director Dexter Fletcher is the man who helped finish the Queen movie once Bryan Singer had been fired. Rocketman is poised to be a big hit when it hits cinemas this spring. Watch the new trailer above.
The synopsis reads: “Based on a true fantasy, ROCKETMAN is an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years.
“The film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John.
“This inspirational story – set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton – tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture.
“Rocketman also stars Jamie Bell as Elton’s longtime lyricist and writing partner Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as Elton’s first manager, John Reid, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton’s mother Sheila Farebrother.”
