Editors' Picks: Our Favorites From the Week of March 317 of 9
Biopic Hype of the Week
After Bohemian Rhapsody rewrote Queen's history and The Dirt just left us feeling used and discarded, we're encouraged by the fresh news coming out of CinemaCon about Rocketman and its R-rated affection for its subject matter: Sir Elton John. Between what we already know (Taron Egerton does his own singing, John wasn't interested in turning the volume down on the sordid details of his life) and what we've recently learned (prepare for some Baz Luhrmann-level production values), we're feeling like the biopic genre will rule this year's box office just like it did in 2018.
