The official synopsis for Stardust reads, "Meet David before Bowie. Sadly, do not expect many of Bowie's tracks making it into Stardust, as the plan is for the movie to not be reliant on his music and will instead use period music songs that the musician covered, rather than his original songs. The album Hunky Dory featured such legendary hits as Changes and Life on Mars? with the birth of Bowie's alter-ego, Ziggy Stardust, leading to the conception and release of his seminal 1972 album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, which in turn led to the musician finally making it onto the UK Albums Chart. The movie is set to chronicle the young David Bowie's first visit to the US in 1971, which was around the time he was developing the album Hunky Dory, with the trip inspiring his invention of one of his most famous creations - his alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Though Flynn may not be a hugely well-established actor, he has been the subject of much praise for his performances in the likes of 2017's mysterious drama, Beast, and the recent adaptation of the Jane Austen comedy, Emma.įlynn will be portraying David Bowie at 24-years-of-age, who was of course already a well-established musician with four albums under his sparkly belt. While Stardust looks far too ordinary a biography to be a true reflection of the eccentric musical genius who defied genre, it at least looks like a classy enough affair, with the poster in particular taking clear inspiration from the era. While Johnny Flynn only begins to look like David Bowie if you squint really hard until your eyes are practically closed, he does look to be bringing some real dedication to proceedings, exuding the real man's laid-back confidence as well as his inner vulnerability.
