Bernie Taupin’s Life and Lyrics Inspire Feature-Length Documentary
Songwriter Bernie Taupin, whose legacy has been defined by decades of work with Elton John, will be the subject of a feature-length documentary.
The currently untitled project will pull back the curtain on the man behind the music with commentary from Elton John, Ringo Starr, Annie Lennox, and more. The documentary will be directed by Matthew Miele, who will craft the film out of archival materials spanning Taupin’s life and legacy as well as additional interviews with Brandi Carlile, Alice Cooper, James Hetfield, Lulu, Gary Oldman, and Pete Townshend. “What a gift to make a film in which Bernie Taupin, arguably one of the most revered and prolific songwriters of the modern era, brings us inside his life, his creative process, and his half-century career working with Elton John,” Brian Gersh, President of Network Entertainment, said in a statement.
