After winning over audiences and critics with its theatrical release on May 29, 2019, Rocketman, the vibrant biopic on the life of British singer Elton John, directed by Dexter Fletcher, is set to light up Netflix on April 10, 2024. Carried by a stunning performance from Taron Egerton as Elton John, this film offers a fascinating and moving dive into the life of one of music's greatest icons.
Taron Egerton, whose acting talents were showcased in films such as Kingsman: Secret Service and Eddie the Eagle, not only plays Elton John, he also performs the artist's cult songs, adding a layer of authenticity and passion to the film. Taron Egerton's acclaimed performance brings a new dimension to the living legend that is Elton John, tracing his evolution from shy young piano prodigy Reginald Dwight to global superstar.
The cast also includes Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin, Elton John's long-time lyricist and loyal partner, Richard Madden as John Reid, the star's first manager, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Sheila Farebrother, Elton John's mother. Each performance contributes to the richness and depth of the story, offering an intimate look at the triumphs and challenges Elton John encountered on his road to stardom.
Rocketman stands out for its unique approach to the music biopic.
