Elton John making film about his life

Elton John is to make a film about his flamboyant life. The Rocket Man singer — who was recently named the world’s top-paid male pop star and partner David Furnish will produce the flick through their Rocket Pictures firm.

They’ve hired playwright Lee Hall to write a script.

The film — Rocketman — will be produced by David alongside Steve Hamilton Shaw, while Elton will be the executive producer.

“Rocketman will be a radically different kind of biopic,” said Steve.

“It will be as unique as Elton’s life, told in a non-linear and hyper-visual manner that will transport people through the many intense experiences, some wonderful, some not, that helped define Elton as an artist, musician and man.”

A director or actor to play the rocker are yet to be found.
