British director Dexter Fletcher takes the helm with Elton John biopic 'Rocketman' after his resounding success with the Freddie Mercury biopic 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. The movie will be released in May with Taron Egerton in the lead
Taron Egerton, left, who plays singer Elton John in the upcoming film"Rocketman," discusses the film with director Dexter Fletcher during the Paramount Pictures presentation at CinemaCon 2019 at Caesars Palace, Thursday, April 4, 2019, in Las Vegas.
Fletcher was originally brought on as director in 2013 -- but was let go over creative differences a year later. "When you get people in the theatre and you have that great song that everyone knows and loves that there's a great unifying experience." Last week, Fletcher presented the film – which comes to US cinemas on May 31 – at CinemaCon in Las Vegas.
The five-time Grammy winner – who has sold 300 million records – is listed as one of the film's executive producers. His husband, filmmaker David Furnish, was also a producer.
