Matthew Vaughn, who is co-producing the upcoming Elton John biopic Rocketman alongside Paramount Pictures, has described the movie as “the first R-rated musical,” including “drugs, sex, [and] rock’n’roll.”
All in all, co-producer Matthew Vaughn’s brief description of Rocketman in his interview with https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/kick-ass-reboot-kingsman-universe-coming-matthew-vaughn-new-studio-exclusive/|Empire only shows good things for the upcoming Elton John biopic.
Elton John had a wild career, and it’s great to know that the movie about him will not be holding back.
Both Taron Egerton and Elton John acted together in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, so their connection may be helpful for Egerton when trying to get into the role.
