First image from Stardust starring Johnny Flynn as David Bowie

August 20, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Film Constellation and Piccadilly Pictures have unveiled a first look image of Johnny Flynn (Beast) as legendary musician David Bowie in Stardust, the upcoming biopic from Emmy Award-winning director Gabriel Range (Death of a President) and screenwriter Christopher Bell (The Last Czars).

Meet David before Bowie. One of the greatest icons in music history; But who was the young man behind the many faces? In 1971, a 24 year old David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) embarks on his first road trip to America with struggling publicist Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), only to be met with a world not yet ready for him.

STARDUST offers a glimpse behind the curtain of the moments that inspired the creation of Bowie’s first and most memorable alter ego Ziggy Stardust, capturing the turning point that cemented his career as one of the world’s greatest cultural icons.
