Elton John's manager John Reid is played by Scottish actor Richard Madden, whose breakthrough role came in HBO series Game Of Thrones, playing the part of Robb Stark. Rowland and Farr took some artist license with their representation of John’s childhood Pinner home, set in the mid-late fifties. “There’s no way we could have shot in a house so small as the real life semi-detached house, but of course we were influenced by the overall feel” Rowland says, “so we made it bigger and took the core of a post war, suburban house. We used a subdued palette but made it visually appealing”.

Rowland explains to me how it was an interesting brief for them as Production Designer and Set Decorator given the film jumps around from period to period, so they felt liberated to explore. “It was nice to get the period bits in too, such as the childhood home of Pinner which is a little more grounded in reality, but then contrast this later in the film when we get a little more bonkers!” exclaims Farr.

From there it's onwards and upwards but equally downwards, with Elton finding success in America and descending into a spiralling pattern of addiction - drugs and drink, sex and shopping. a b c d e Stein, Ellin (29 May 2019).

She did not allow him to get an Elvis Presley styled haircut, though Elton idolized the American's look.

Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell and Richard Madden (left to right) play Elton John, Bernie Taupin and John Reid, respectively. In October 2019, Entertainment Weekly digital director Shana Krochmal accused Delta Air Lines of removing "almost every reference" to John's sexuality in the version of the film shown on the airline, including scenes of kissing and gay sex. In response, a Delta spokesperson said that "Delta's content parameters do not in any way ask for the removal of homosexual content from the film" and that "We value diversity and inclusion as core to our culture and our mission and will review our processes to ensure edited video content doesn't conflict with these values". [33] Reception [ edit ] Box office [ edit ] No, but it doesn't pretend to be. The chronology is all over the place, with the songs serving as devices to move the story on rather than appearing where history suggests they should. Think of it more of a spectacular, fantasy portrayal of Elton John's story.

This, Rowland’s favourite set of the film, was influenced by 1960s Versace and involved Farr designing and making a carpet specifically for the scene. Taron Egerton does a superb job of capturing EJ’s musical and personal personae and there are some occasional strong performances by British mainstays like Harriet Walter and Gemma Jones but the primary focus falls on the crazy costumes and loveless relationships rather than the creation of unforgettable music. We’re big fans of wallpaper in film here at Film and Furniture (we take great pleasure from identifying these details) so we were delighted to see both Rowland and Farr get quite animated when we asked about the wallpaper in this house: “The wallpaper is real paper from the period, but sourcing authentic wallpaper which isn’t just one roll isn’t always easy and especially difficult when wallpaper from this period comes with awkward edging that needs to be cut off, it rips really easily and its just very fiddly – our decorators hate it” says Farr. “We like to source from the period as the texture and depth makes a big difference rather than designing it and printing it up new which can look a little soulless” she adds.In March 2019, it was reported that Paramount Pictures was pressuring director Dexter Fletcher and producer Matthew Vaughn to cut a sex scene between Taron Egerton and Richard Madden, so that the film could receive a PG-13 rating in the United States, as influenced by the financial success of Bohemian Rhapsody the year prior. [27] Fletcher denied the reports, saying that the movie "has and always will be the no holds barred, musical fantasy that Paramount and producers passionately support and believe in" and said the allegations were "nothing but rumours". [28] The epilogue notes that Elton has been sober for over 28 years. He remains good friends and song-writing partners with Bernie and is happily married to David Furnish, with whom he has two children.
