McAvoy Rocket Ready?

Reports have James McAvoy as the favorite to land the lead role in the Elton John biopic "Rocketman" says The Scottish Sun.


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 .

 "Billy Elliot" writer Lee Hall penned the now finished screenplay

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

 The search for a director is underway

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