Before the film just took hold of the audience members, actors and filmmakers gathered on the red carpet to comprehend how much effect the flick had on audiences.

In an interview with Variety Taron Egerton, who depicts the musical icon in the movie maintained that John just loves it and added,

 “He’s very passionate about it, and that’s obviously very validating for us. Although Elton [John] gave us all his blessing and knew exactly the story we were told, he kind of left us to it. It’s also very risky because you don’t know how he’s going to respond. The overall feeling, I hope, is that it’s joyous and it’s a celebration of his legacy.”

John and his husband, David Furnish, contributed their share as producers of the movie “Rocketman” and the star as well as his songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, were in active participation in the progression of the film. The biopic follows John’s life from early childhood to his American start at the Troubadour venue in West Hollywood, Ca. to his drug addiction and eventual sobriety.
