He looks pretty spot on. I see that some of you are divided on him in general as an actor but I'm looking forward to his portrayal.

Yeah, he looks good, I just hope the movie is good, after a promising start with Kingsman 1, the quality of the films has gone downhill.

I actually think he's a pretty good actor,he went to RADA afterall.He just hasn't yet made the kind of films to show his range.

Looks promising. Egerton's got a great voice.

This reminds me of the Bohemian Rhapsody's trailers, except this one looks good.

His take on Rocketman is okay but doesn't really sound like Elton. He did a much better job with I'm Still Standing. Looks good though.

Okay, so that trailer got me checking out old Elton videos so I decided to listen to Tiny Dancer, Rocketman and I'm Still Standing. Okay, so ummm I posted link to I'm Still Standing and at the 20 second mark, is that the judge, Bruno from Dancing With the Stars????? He's also at the 53 sec mark.

This looks dreadful so I'd like to congratulate Taron Edgerton on his Oscar win.

Looks like him, doesn't sound like him much - another Rock and Roll film that may as well be about a really really successful plumber or baker it appears - the Elton John story is about success - period and in terms of his musical peers in the 70s there are many better more interesting stories to tell than his (and Mercury's actually) - not that he doesn't deserve a movie - sure make it about them all - but what can you say about it and him and his time?
I'm saying not much - it's the equivalent of virtue signaling but the virtue is your musical taste here "Oh, I love his music and he was huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge in the 70s (!) so I love that they did his story!" even though you didn't need a film to tell that story........

Egerton is going to absolutely kill this.

Looks disturbingly similar to Bohemian Rhapsody. Are Bryan Singer and Dexter Fletcher the same person?

C'mon, it looks so much better than BR. Edgerton seems to be doing more than just wearing make-up, his singing is actually good and the visuals of the movie seem very good and dream-like. It reminds me more of Across The Universe, actually.

It reminds me more of Across The Universe, actually. I'm not buying it all. Stylistically and tonally this looks exactly like BR to me, and I'm saying that as someone who really enjoyed the surrealistic teaser. But I also couldn't help but remember that BR's marketing also looked good before any dialogue was involved and that film has a surrealistic teaser too but once the trailers started coming in and they started talking, I could tell we were heading for basic formulaic biopic territory. I'm getting the same sense from this trailer but I hope I'm wrong.

I take pride in knowing I knew BR would be bad since the first teasers Even the fact they took so long to show dialogues seemed to some people here like a sign they were trying to hide something bad. With Rocketman, I feel like there's more consistency as to how it's being sold as. The dialogues shown were okay, the acting seems solid (it helps that the supporting cast has more proven actors in it). Of course, it can just be a good teaser/trailer and final product could end up being a disappointment. It's not like Dexter Fletcher is known for making great movies after all.

I missed this topic from before, but yes it is actually him. Learn something new everyday I guess.

Freddie Mercury's gonna show up in a post credits scene to tell him all about the team he's assembling.

Freddie Mercury's gonna show up in a post credits scene to tell him all about the team he's assembling. And we’ll slowly be introduced to The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, Cher, Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Chuck Berry, Brian Wilson (of course, they have to get the rights back), Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and (because they’ve got to appeal to the teen crowd) Drake. All building up to the Dubstep War, where Skrillex will give half the planet Aids.
