Rocketman Producer Desires To Make A David Bowie Film

Given the success of Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody, we could now see much more music biopics. One intriguing thought is a tackle the lifetime of David Bowie, with Rocketman producer Matthew Vaughn apparently concerned about constructing off the reward for the Elton John film.

In an interview with ScreenRant, Vaughn was enthusiastic in regards to the prospect of bringing Bowie’s life to the large display, saying:

 “If I used to be allowed to direct a film about David Bowie, that might be my dream come true. It’s Bowie. His music is second to none. No, equal to Elton.”

Bowie actually has an interesting life story, and a listing of songs that might translate effectively to on-screen interpretation. A tackle his life titled Stardust is reportedly already being made although, specializing in the early years of the performer’s life. Vaughn doesn’t appear eager on this concept, nevertheless, remarking:

“Doing a film about Bowie with out the music sounds f–king silly to me, however perhaps that’s simply me being a bit cynical.”

Treating Bowie’s life in the identical approach as Rocketman or Bohemian Rhapsody won’t be the most effective method, although. For one, Bowie was a charismatic actor who arguably already performed variations of himself in movies like Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell to Earth, to not point out his many roles in Labyrinth, Twin Peaks: Fireplace Stroll With Me and others.

One filmmaker who will doubtless avoid any biopic is Bowie’s personal son, Moon and Warcraft director Duncan Jones. On Twitter, Jones addressed rumours in a considerably playful approach:

They insist I take a gathering on a biopic about my dad.
Who do I say should play him?

What may work higher than the therapy seen in latest music biopics is the fashion adopted by Todd Haynes for I’m Not There, the place the lifetime of Bob Dylan is instructed with a number of actors. This method will surely be in step with Bowie’s chameleonic persona, whereas Dylan actor Tilda Swinton is an efficient shout for taking part in the musician. No matter occurs, Matthew Vaughn’s future appears to be tied up for the second with the Kingsman franchise, which might be preserving him busy for the subsequent few minutes.

Might David Bowie’s life story profit from the Rocketman therapy, although? In that case, who could be your dream director and star? As at all times, tell us within the feedback part beneath.
