“I was desperately wanting happiness – going completely the wrong way about it.” Disney+ has revealed the first official trailer for a musician biopic documentary film called Elton John: Never Too Late, the definitive look back at the life of popstar singer / musician extraordinaire Elton John. Everyone should also remember the 2019 movie about him called Rocketman featuring Taron Egerton as Elton, which was pretty good. Never Too Late just premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival and it next shows at the New York & London Film Festivals before it’s streaming later this year. The film showcases a never-before-seen concert footage of him over the past 50 years, as well as hand-written journals and present-day footage of him & his family. NYFF describes it as a “rousing, intensely personal documentary [that] finds a legendary musician in a richly reflective mood during his final concert tour… Filled with revealing interviews and rare archival material, Elton John: Never Too Late offers keen insight into a life and career marked by soaring highs and crushing lows, and contemplates a legacy defined equally by advocacy and artistry.” Have a look.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Cutler & Furnish’s doc Elton John: Never Too Late, on YouTube:
“He risked it all, to find himself.” Never Too Late follows Elton John as he looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career in this emotionally charged, intimate and uplifting full-circle journey. As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes us back in time to recount the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse and addiction to become the icon he is today.

Cutler (of A Perfect Candidate, The September Issue, The World According to Dick Cheney, Belushi, Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry, Big Vape: The Rise and Fall of Juul) and David Furnish (of Elton John: Tantrums & Tiaras). Produced by Trevor Smith, R.J. Cutler, David Furnish. This initially premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival this fall.
