10 Single Moments That Sold Upcoming Movies

The flamboyant, colourful, and lively performances of Sir Elton John have always been synonymous with his outlandish attire. One of his most famous outfits is the dazzling baseball clothing he wore at Dodger Stadium in 1975, and is the perfect place for Dexter Fletcher's biopic to explore its thematic look at the duality of character and creator.

Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, the Rocketman portrayed by Taron Egerton is best known as Elton John, a stage persona that would launch the singer-songwriter in to the stratosphere of superstardom. This single scene in the trailer managed to show us so much about the movie in the blink of an eye.

A tired, dazed Elton is prepared to go on stage, seemingly on auto-pilot, that is until he is handed a baseball bat, grabs it, and is at once animated and transformed in to the legendary Elton John.

Egerton's performance, the fantastic production design, and Fletcher's exploration of this story as a director are all on display in this expertly crafted moment that tells us all we need to know about the film's take on the life of one of the most popular artists of our time.
