A couple of days ago we reported that Elton John is still busy at work on a biopic of his life and that, “I’ve got a wish list of people. Number one on my wishlist is Justin Timberlake, because he played me before in a David LaChapelle video of Rocket Man and he was superb.”
At the time though it wasn’t certain whether anyone has spoken to Justin about it or how interested the singer turned actor might be. Now E!Online has got word from Timberlake’s camp, with a source saying, “Justin is taking it very seriously. He’s working with his people to figure out exactly how to respond.”
It’s still a long way from saying he’ll actually do it, but it’s a good indication that everything will come together.
Elton has confirmed that he’ll co-produce the film with his civil partner, David Furnish, and that it’ll be a “surreal look at my life, and not just a factual look at my life, more in the manner of a Moulin Rouge”. The singer, who’s never been averse to a bit of flamboyance, added that a “normal biopic” would be innappropriate “because my life hasn’t been like that”. There’s no info on when it might film though.
