Bryce Dallas Howard is to play Sir Elton John's mother in the biopic 'Rocketman'.
The 37-year-old actress has been cast alongside Taron Egerton, who is playing the musician, and Jamie Bell as Bernie Taupin in the much-anticipated new movie.
The plot will focus on Elton's transition from his time at the Royal Academy of Music to becoming a global superstar, which included his hugely successful partnership with Taupin.
'Rocketman' is being produced by Matthew Vaughn and his Marv Films, as well as Elton and his Rocket Pictures partner David Furnish.
