Coinciding with the news that the movie will serve as the opening night gala of this year’s Raindance Film Festival, we have a new look at Johnny Flynn (Emma.) as music icon David Bowie in Stardust.
The film has been directed by Gabriel Range (I Am Slave, Death of a President) and takes place in 1971, exploring “the young David Bowie’s first visit to the US in 1971 – a trip that inspired the invention of his iconic alter ego Ziggy Stardust. It will chart his transformation into one of the most iconic and boundary-pushing superstars in music history.”
Stardust – which also stars Marc Maron (GLOW) as publicist Ron Oberman and Jena Malone (Antebellum) as Angie Bowie – has not been produced in cooperation with Bowie’s estate, and as such will not feature any of his music or songs.
