It’s the uncensored
story of Reginald
Kenneth Dwight
Better known (to
everyone bar his
mother we expect)
as Elton John, the
English singer
behind such pop-
rock anthems as
Your Song, Candle
in the Wind and, of
course, Rocket Man.

Elton is played by
Kingsman’s Eggsy
Aka Taron Egerton
(seen most
recently in cinemas
as Robin Hood).
The Welsh actor
does all his own
singing in the film,
with Elton himself
said to have been
“blown away”
by his vocals.

Dexter Fletcher
directs
We’ll always know
and love him as
Spike in Press Gang
but Fletcher is also a
wonderful director.
He helmed the ace
Eddie the Eagle (also
starring Egerton)
and helped
complete Bohemian
Rhapsody.

It’s being touted as
a fantasy musical...
...rather than
a straightforward
biopic, which
means that artistic
license will likely
be liberally
employed. The
plot, incidentally, is
set during Elton’s
breakthrough
early years.

Jurassic World’s
Bryce Dallas
Howard plays
Elton’s mum
No, really! Other
big names to look
out for include
Richard Madden as
manager John Reid
and Jamie Bell as
long-time Elton
collaborator
Bernie Taupin.
Rocketman blasts into cinemas on 24 May
One to watch
Forky
We thought we’d said goodbye to Woody and
friends forever in 2010, when Toy Story 3
came, conquered and went. But this June the
gang are back and about to embark on their
biggest adventure yet. And it’s all thanks to the
little guy on the left. Yes folks, meet Forky. He’s
the newest addition to Bonnie’s bedroom – but is
he actually a toy? He certainly doesn’t think so.
Watch the trailer
See Forky cause chaos in Toy Story 4 from Friday 21 June
