'Rocketman': First trailer of Elton John's biopic out now
The life of Sir Elton John is set to be documented in the form of an upcoming biopic, titled 'Rocketman' - the first trailer of which is finally out now. Starring in the role of the famous musician will be 'Kingsman' star Taron Egerton, alongside the 'Bodyguard' star Richard Madden, who will be playing the role of his manager and partner, John Reid. "There are moments in a rock star's life that define who he is," says Madden in the trailer's voiceover. "Where there was darkness, there is now you – and it's going to be a wild ride."
Egerton himself has described the upcoming film - that is set to release in May next year - as a 'fantasy musical.' This is a contrast to the movie's genre considering it's a biopic, but at the same time, the trailer also claims that the film is 'based on a true fantasy.' "It’s actually his songs used to express important beats in his life at emotional moments," Egerton said. "He’s not the only character that sings. It’s going to be fun.”
