Rockin' Rocketman

Or at least that's how the trailer looks...wow!

Following a voice role in Sing and a turn as skier Eddie the Eagle, Taron Egerton's breakout role appears to be Elton John in Rocketman, out on May 31.

Sir Elton deserves a place on top of the musical mountain along with The Beatles and Sir Paul in terms of musical contributions to pop culture.

This scene in 2000's Almost Famous would not be the same without Tiny Dancer:





And as per Rocketman's marketing, the only way to tell Elton's story is to live his fantasy.

Which is Hollywood-speak for "I'm gonna tell you my story exactly how I want to tell it. And that's it".

With an autobiography coming out in October, all this should be very interesting!
