Taron Egerton is Elton John in New Rocketman Movie Photos

Paramount Pictures has released new Rocketman photos revealing more of Taron Egerton’s transformation as Elton John for the upcoming film which is described as a fantasy musical and not a biopic. You can check out the new photos now in the gallery below!

The film will focus on Elton John’s beginnings, starting when he was a prodigy at the Royal Academy of Music and carrying over to when he reached global stardom through his influential and enduring musical partnership with his songwriting collaborator Bernie Taupin. It will look at the performer’s life past the glitter saturated image we have grown so accustomed to associating with the performer.
