The idea of an Elton John biopic has been around for a while now, but it sounds like the stars are aligning and casting will get started soon.
That’s probably one of the hardest tasks in making a movie about Sir Elton, who is worthy to play the artist?
According to Under The Gun Review, the film, currently titled ‘Rocketman”, is being developed right now by director Michael Gracey and executive producer Elton John.
The work is being described as “a biographical musical fantasy that weaves together the life of Sir Elton John and his music. “
A front runner in the casting is a relatively unknown Tom Hardy, who played Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises”.
