In the latest sneak peek from the upcoming biopic Rocketman, actor Taron Egerton shows off his best Elton John vocals to the title track tune.
In the clip, music producer Giles Martin reveals that Egerton does actually sing John's hit songs in the film, unlike Rami Malek who lip-synched to Queen's hits in last year's Bohemian Rhapsody.
“Elton said, 'I don’t think I’ve heard anyone sing my songs better than Taron,'” Martin says.
Rocketman premieres May 31. Watch the sneak peek below.

        10 best queer horror movies in 2025

Queer horror 2025: The Restoration of Grayson Manor, Abigail Before Beatrice, Companion 

        Bankside Films; Exit 44 Entertainment; New Line Cinema
    
No doubt, 2025 has provided us with plenty to be scared about. But it also, thankfully, gave us ample opportunities to exorcise those fears through the safety of cinematic horror.
So with that in mind, here is the best of the best in ascending order. From queer folk horror to sapphic antiheroes to obsessed kidnappers, these queer movies chilled, thrilled, and tingled my spine the most this year.

Gay enemies-to-lovers movies: Fire Island, In From the Side, Red White and Royal Blue

        Hulu, Strand Releasing, Prime Video
    
There is just something so irresistible about an enemies-to-lovers story. The tension as it builds, the dynamic as it shifts, and then—when they finally give in to their desire… hot.
Heated Rivalry and numerous BL (boy love) shows like My Personal Weatherman and The New Employee prove that we queer folks have a real appetite for these stories.

There is no such thing as too many WLW movies. In fact, they are far too few—particularly when it comes to films that celebrate sapphic love between queer women of color.
While the list is much shorter than we would hope—and we’d love to see that change—what these movies lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality.

        'Dust Bunny' is a magical, gay-helmed masterpiece you must see on the big screen

Sophie Sloan, Mads Mikkelsen, and Sigourney Weaver in Dust Bunny 

        Roadside Attractions
    
The holiday season is a time for magic, wonder, and joy. And perhaps no film this year delivers on those feelings better than Bryan Fuller’s debut feature film, Dust Bunny, a brilliant and lush kaleidoscope of color, bizarrely wonderful characters, and one giant killer bunny. It’s films like this for which the theatrical experience was created.
To paraphrase a famed meme, Dust Bunny is absolute cinema.
