Rocketman Trailer #1 (2019) |
Hot on the heels of "Bohemian Rhapsody" comes the story of Elton John with "Rocketman" due to hit theaters the Friday after Memorial Day (May 31st).
I am not sure about Richard Madden who plays Elton John in this telling of his story of fame and failure and resurrection into the spotlight. I will have to reserve judgement until watching the entire movie but from the trailer (below) I don't know about the singing, sounds a little off. Then again Elton is a spectacular voice and is hard to replicate, however I think Justin Timberlake would have been a tremendous choice. Check out the trailer below.
