First rumoured in 2011, Elton John’s long-in-the-pipeline biopic ‘Rocketman’ is now looking like it’s about to um… come out of the pipeline.

Actor Tom Hardy (who looks like this) will play Elton (who looks like this) in the film, which is being made with the cooperation of John and his business partners, and so will include his songs on its soundtrack. Hurrah. Shooting is mooted to begin in late 2014.

Steve Hamilton Shaw, the CEO of John’s production co Rocket Pictures, gushes thus: “Tom is a stellar talent who will add extraordinary depth and nuance in bringing Elton’s story to life. We are excited to have such a gifted actor on board”.
