Sir Elton John confirms film project

Sir Elton John has revealed that a script for a movie about his life has already been completed.

The 63-year-old confirmed the project while speaking to Chris Evans on the DJ's Radio 2 Breakfast Show.

"There might be a film about my life in the next couple of years, two or three years," he told the presenter. "We have a script written by Lee Hall who wrote the script of Billy Elliot and the musical stage play so we have a couple of directors in mind for that. That will happen or get off the ground in the next two or three years."

He continued: "Fantasy of my life, it's not going to be like a Tina Turner film of my life which was great - What's Love Got to Do with It with Laurence Fishburne - not a biopic, more of a Moulin Rouge."

The singer, who recently became a father, added: "My life has been so surreal from football club to God knows what. You can't under-dramatise my life, it's been drama all the way."

John and his husband David Furnish worked as producers on new Disney film Gnomeo and Juliet.
