10 First-Look Images From Upcoming Movies
5. Rocketman
A trailer for the upcoming Elton John biopic has been released now, but Paramount Pictures have also dropper another exclusive image from the fantasy-musical film. Though it didn't initially seem like a good fit, Taron Egerton looks incredibly convincing as John, and the latest photo sees him all dressed up in a suitably garish outfit.
Though Bohemian Rhapsody is currently stealing all the headlines when it comes to the musical biography films you have to see, Rocketman looks like it's going to be a far cry from your regular run-of-the mill genre instalments. It's leaning far heavier into fantasy territory, capturing John's maddest years through a surrealist lens, rather than prioritising authenticity above all else.
While director Dexter Fletcher took over from Bryan Singer on this year's Queen biopic, Rocketman is entirely the filmmaker's own beast, and it looks all the better for it.
