Like A Rocket

Singer Elton John's teaming with "Billy Elliot" writer Lee Hall for the musical biopic Rocket Man reports Deadline.


The film is a "biographical musical fantasy", that follows a musician trying to navigate through the rough patches in his life. It will incorporate elements of John's life - being a child piano prodigy at age 11, the rebellion against his strict upbringing, and teaming up with songwriter Bernie Taupin .

There will also be choreographed musical numbers set to his hit songs.

John, Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish will produce the pic
