Movie Bio of Elton John Planned

Elton John is working on a musical film about his colorful life, reports U.K. paper The Guardian.

"I'd just like to make a really great film about my life story," John is quoted as saying to BBC Radio 2. "We have a great script already by [Billy Elliot screenwriter] Lee Hall. ... It will be more of a fantasy -- Moulin Rouge-type of stuff. Obviously, it's not going to be your normal, run-of-the-mill film. My life's been so surreal, from buying a football club to God knows what."

The paper names a few actors who might be suitable for playing John on-screen, including Ewan McGregor, Michael C. Hall, Ricky Gervais, and Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell.
