Rocketman, the upcoming Elton John ‘musical fantasy’ biopic about his breakthrough years, has released a new featurette and poster for the movie’s release later this year.

Rocketman follows the fantastical journey of  Elton John’s transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into international superstar.

The film also stars Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin, Richard Madden as John Reid and Bryce Dallas Howard as Sheila Farebrother. The film is directed by Dexter Fletcher, known for Eddie the Eagle and for replacing Bryan Singer as director for Bohemian Rhapsody.

The film releases May 30th, 2019.
