Elton in talks to make biopic

Elton John is in talks to make a film about his life.

It is reported the biopic will be called "Rocketman", and will be produced by the singer's partner David Furnish.

Playwright Lee Hall, who has worked with Elton before on "Billy Elliot", is apparently being lined up to provide the script.

James McAvoy had been tipped for the lead role.
