Rocketman, the musical fantasy biopic about Elton John's life opens on Friday. I'm looking forward to go seeing it. I rarely see movies in theatres anymore and was quite surprised to have loved Bohemian Rhapsody, as much as I did, that I had to see it on the big screen a few several times. The last time I loved a movie that much, I think, was watching the destruction of a Death Star, or when Indiana Jones came running out of a forest with a huge stone roller ball following him. I hope I'll have a similar reaction to Rocketman.
Rocketman, was directed by the man who finished directing Bohemian Rhapsody, after the director, Bryan Singer, went AWOL on the movie after sexual misconduct allegations came out against him. FOX studio ended up firing him and asked Dexter Fletcher to finish the 30% left of BoRhap, before going on to direct Rocketman, (also produced by FOX at that time. Although, it ended up with Paramount Studios.) One producer at FOX said to him: "I told Dexter, 'This is going to be '70s pop icon boot camp for you,' " Vaughn says. "It'd give him even more confidence when he went in to do Rocketman." And while Fletcher was making Rocketman, BoRhap won Best Picture at the Golden Globes and was nominated also at the BAFTAs and Academy Awards. And Rami Malek had a clean sweep of ALL four awards, (which included the SAG Awards.) Rami gave a special thanks to Fletcher at the BAFTAs.
Let's hope that extra experience making another musical movie and the award wins have given Dexter Fletcher what he needed to hit Rocketman, out of the ball park.
Anyone else also going to see it?
