A new featurette has offered the first glimpse of Taron Egerton singing “Tiny Dancer” as Elton John in the upcoming biopic Rocketman.
Dexter Fletcher – who replaced Bryan Singer as director of Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody – will direct, with Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard all co-starring.
Egerton had already previously worked with John in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, where the musician had made a cameo appearance as himself.
The film, co-produced by John, will cover the musician’s rise from prodigal pianist to global superstar while “stripping back the glitter”.
