In a new promotions video for the film, Dexter Fletcher the director of the film says that Taron is an actor of incredible range and only he can do a role like Elton John. The greatest quote from the teaser trailer comes from Giles Martin, the films music producer. He said, "Elton said I don't think I've ever heard anyone sing my songs better than Taron, and the great thing about Elton is that he wants Taron's interpretations of his songs." Taron will actually be singing in the film and if that doesn't get you excited I don't know what will. 2019 is full of highly anticipated films and this one is definitely up there.
More updates on the film we be out in future dates but make sure to check out the biopic on May 31st.
