ROCKETMAN was directed by Dexter Fletcher, written by Lee Hall and produced by Matthew Vaughn, David Furnish, Adam Bohling and David Reid.“His music inspires you, his life will surprise you,” Rocketman is a one-of-a-kind musical celebration set to Elton John’s most beloved songs. ROCKETMAN also stars Jamie Bell as Elton’s long-time lyricist and writing partner Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as Elton’s first manager, John Reid, and Bryce Dallas Howard as Elton’s mother Sheila Farebrother. This inspirational story - set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton - tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture. Releasing in theatres May 31, the film follows the fantastical journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar Elton John. Paramount Pictures presents, in association with New Republic Pictures, A Marv Films/Rocket Pictures production ROCKETMAN, an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years. Executive Album Producers are Elton John, David Furnish, Matthew Vaughn and Dexter Fletcher. The album is produced by Giles Martin (except “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” co-produced by Giles Martin and Greg Kurstin) and was recorded between 20 at London’s legendary Abbey Road Studios and AIR Studios. The soundtrack also contains a brand-new Elton John and Bernie Taupin composition titled, “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again”, performed by Elton and Taron Egerton. From transforming “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” into an epic ensemble piece, to morphing “I Want Love” into a heart-breaking moment of conflict around little Reggie’s family meal, each track has been sculpted to form a unique part of the narrative of this most incredible of stories. Tasked with taking Elton’s unparalleled back catalogue and reimagining it to fit the film’s narrative, Martin worked closely with the filmmakers, supervising all of the music for the production and pulling a vocal masterclass from Taron in the studio. Listen to “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” HERE Taron’s interpretation of ‘Rocket Man’, and Elton and Taron’s ‘(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again)’ are both available to stream now. “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again’ is co-produced by Giles Martin and Greg Kurstin, and was recorded at London’s AIR Studios and Echo Studio, Los Angeles. “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again”, a brand-new song written especially for ROCKETMAN by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and performed by Elton and Taron Egerton, was premiered earlier this month. Watch Taron’s performance of “Rocket Man” HERE Watch the LIVE version of “The Bitch Is Back” HERE The performance from Dodger Stadium was recently recreated to stunning effect by Taron Egerton in the epic musical fantasy “ Rocket Man.” He was the first musical act to perform there since The Beatles nine years earlier, and at that time these were the largest concert events ever by a single artist, cementing Elton's place at the very top of his game. The riotous performance of “The Bitch Is Back” sees Elton joined on stage by Tennis superstar Billie Jean King. Taking place over an Autumn weekend in 1975, the performances saw Elton play two shows to over 110,000 people in two marathon sets of flying piano stools, baseball bats and unadulterated rock 'n' roll abandon. To celebrate the release of Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture, previously unseen footage from Elton's legendary Dodger Stadium shows has been unveiled for the first time.
