Director Michael Gracey’s ROCKETMAN is in full swing this week as star of the film Tom Hardy met Sir Elton John, the fabulous singer he’ll be portraying. They met yesterday in Santa Monica at an American Film Market Presentation and released that sweet picture.
ROCKETMAN is described as being a larger than life musical which will tell the story of the child prodigy turned music legend, Elton John. Hardy might not have been the obvious choice to portray Sir Elton but we’ve been told that John will re-record some of his more iconic tracks for the film.
ROCKETMAN’s screenplay has been written by the great Lee Hall, known for WARHORSE and BILLY ELLIOTT, and is set to start shooting in autumn next year.
