Today, we’re pleased to share an exclusive deleted scene fromDexter Fletcher’sRocketman. The fantasy-biopic starsTaron Egertonas five-time Grammy-winning iconElton JohnalongsideBryce Dallas Howard(Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom),Richard Madden(Game of Thrones),Jamie Bell(Fantastic Four), andGemma Jones(Bridget Jones’ Baby).
In the clip, Elton is offered a chance to relapse, and while you can see that there’s clearly a temptation to use again, he manages to decline. It’s not a bad scene, but it also makes sense why Fletcher left this on the cutting room floor. The idea comes across through the rest of the movie and Elton’s rehab, especially with the great use of the song, “I’m Still Standing.”
Check out theRocketmandeleted scene below. The film will be available on Digital HD on August 6th and on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on August 27th.
Here is the official synopsis forRocketman:
ROCKETMAN is an epic musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John’s breakthrough years.

This inspirational story – set to Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton – tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture.
