Elton John Biopic in the Works

"I'd just like to make a really great film about my life story. We have a great script already by Lee Hall who wrote 'Billy Elliot,'" said Elton John. "Obviously it's not going to be your normal, run-of-the-mill film because my life has kind of been crazy. And I think it's important to do a kind of surrealistic take on my life, from buying a football club to God knows what."
