Biopic on Sir Elton John in offing

MUMBAI: Steve Hamilton Shaw in association with David Furnish is all set to make a biopic on Sir Elton John titled Rocketman. The film will have John as its executive producer.

The film promises to be a rather unconventional biopic that Shaw describes as “non-linear” and “hyper visual.”
 
So far, no actor has been confirmed for the lead role, however, it is learnt that Scottish actor James McAvoy, known for his films like Atonement, X-Men: First Class is likely to be the favourite choice.

It may be remembered that John, Shaw and Furnish have previously collaborated on the 3D film Gnomeo and Juliet.
