A New Elton John Documentary Will Focus on the Stories That ‘Rocketman’ didn’t

A new documentary from Elton John is reportedly in the works, featuring scenes that didn’t fit in the 2019 biopic ‘Rocketman’.

 
 

According to sources, the follow-up to the film would come in a documentary format, featuring behind-the-scenes footage that weren’t shown in the original biopic.

 
 

The film, reportedly titled The Pillars Of Hercules, is set to cover John’s tours across the 1970s, and never-before-seen footage of the singer and John Lennon, according to The Sun. It has been the long-time project of John’s guitarist Davey Johnstone, who has been working on the project for years.

 
 

Regarding a potential release date for the new film, he added: “There are two more interviews we are looking to get and we will probably be finished with all the recording by late January and then we will go into editing and we will be ready about Easter.”

 
 

“There has been a lot of interest from various ­sources,” he said of its eventual release. “The show will ­feature John Lennon on the night he came on stage and played Madison Square ­Garden with us for Thanksgiving in New York in 1974.”
