Lovers of Bohemian Rhapsody, rejoice — another larger-than-life rock bio-pic is headed our way.
Rocketman, directed by Dexter Fletcher and written by Lee Hall, tells the story of Elton John's meteoric rise to international fame beginning in the late 1960s. Star Taron Egerton of Kingmans: The Secret Service and Robin Hood portrays the glitzy, glamorous, and unspeakably talented John.
Born Reginald Dwight, a small-town boy with dreams of songwriting, John completely transformed himself to become the pop icon whom audiences know and love today. Rocketman aims to tell this story as "a fantasy musical," bringing trippy new life to John's most celebrated hits.
Rocketman is in theaters May 31.
