Rocketman
Rocketmanproducer Matthew Vaughn says he ’d wish to harness the spirit of another melodic fable by head a pic about David Bowie . Biopics of noted player have long been pop , but the musical style may be hotter than ever right now thanks to the massive succeeder of last class ’s Queen movieBohemian Rhapsody , which take in over $ 900 million at the global box office while snagging four Oscars including one for lead actor Rami Malek .

If a Bowie moving-picture show does indeed come together , there ’s one person who will fain maltreat forward to direct the project . talk only to Screen Rant , Rocketmanproducer Matthew Vaughn unveil that it ’s his dream to one day make a pic about the legendary Ziggy Stardust singer . " If I was allowed to direct a movie about David Bowie , that would be my dream come true , " Vaughn say , adding , " It ’s Bowie . His music is 2nd to none . No , equal to Elton . "
As previously say , there is indeed at least oneBowie undertaking in the whole caboodle , a motion-picture show about the vocaliser ’s early days entitledStardust . However , Vaughn is less - than - impressed by the non - musical approachStardustwould ostensibly take to Bowie . The plastic film would reportedly be set in 1971 , before Bowie was a worldwide champion , but as Vaughn points out would not include any of the Isaac Merrit Singer ’s literal music . Vaughn said of this,“Doing a movie about Bowie without the music sounds f – male monarch unintelligent to me , but maybe that ’s just me being a moment cynical . "
Indeed , Vaughn is not the only one who has expressed trepidation at the Bowie biopic ideas currently being put forth . Bowie ’s own boy Duncan Jones ( who is himself a movie maker , known for the moviesMoonandWarcraft : The Beginning)seemed less than enthusiasticwhen addressing reports that a Bowie motion picture is in the works . However , many Bowie fans have show fervour at the Thin White Duke getting a biopic discourse , and have put forth the already Bowie - esque Tilda Swinton as the dependable choice to work the melodious legend .
It seems Vaughn can be counted among those who would love to see Bowie ’s life come to the screen door , though he ’s not enthusiastic about the idea of depicting the vocaliser without using his songs . Bowie is sure a fascinating and cryptic enough digit to warrant the big screen discussion , so perhaps one Clarence Shepard Day Jr. he will get his ownRocketmanorBohemian Rhapsody . Then again , there are many who reason Bowie is too mysterious and fascinating a digit to belong to in a conventional biopic made simply for nostalgic upshot .
