Justin

Elton

  Elton John is moving ahead with plans for a film based on his life. He has hired writer Lee Hall, who wrote Billy Elliott, and says: “We’ll be making an announcement about it very, very soon.  We have a director on board and then it’s just going to be a matter of getting the script exactly the way we want it.”
  He has a wish list of people he wants to play him but top of the list by far is Justin Timberlake. “He played me before in a David LaChapelle video of Rocket Man and was superb,” he says. 
  The movie will be a surreal look at his life. “I just don’t want it to be a normal biopic because my life hasn’t been like that,” he says. “And it only goes up to when I go into rehab in 1990. It starts with me going into rehab and ends when I come out.”
