Paramount Pictures may be about to release a new trailer forRocketmanahead of the film’s Spring 2019 release, since the studio just unveiled new images ofTaron Egerton’s transformation into the musical legend,Elton John. Taking its name from John’s world-famous 1972 single Rocket Man (“I Think It’s Going to Be a Long, Long Time”) from the “Honky Château” album, the movie goes back in time to tackle the rising stardom of the now 71-year-old, award-winning musician.
But as previous pitches for the movie (and the thin, official synopsis itself) have described it,Rocketmanis more of a musical fantasy story than a biopic, centering on Elton John’s early years in the music business. Expect a dramatized retelling of his life and career from his time at the Royal Academy of Music through his rise to fame, struggles with drug addiction, and his partnership withBernie Taupin. Could a new trailer that sheds a little more light on directorDexter Fletcher’s take onLee Hall’s script be on the way? Stay tuned.
Also starringJamie Bell,Richard Madden,Bryce Dallas Howard, andGemma Jones,Dexter Fletcher‘sRocketmanopens July 13, 2025.
