Watch Johnny Flynn play David Bowie in first snippet of Stardust film
A short snippet of Stardust has been revealed, and gives a first glimpse of Johnny Flynn starring as David Bowie.
In August 2019, the first image of Flynn as David Bowie for the film Stardust was revealed.
Today (15 April), Pitchfork has the first glimpse of Flynn playing Bowie, and it's a one-and-a-half-minute clip with Flynn and Marc Maron, who will play Ron Oberman - Bowie's former publicist.
Stardust will see Flynn star as Bowie as he travels to the US in 1971 - a trip that supposedly inspied Bowie's alter-ego, Ziggy Stardust.
The film hasn't been approved by Bowie's family. According to NME, Bowie's son, Duncan Jones, confirmed on Twitter earlier this year that the film is unauthorised, and won't feature any of Bowie's music. He wrote, "I’m not saying this movie is not happening. I honestly wouldn’t know. I’m saying that as it stands, this movie won’t have any of dad’s music in it, & I can’t imagine that changing. If you want to see a biopic without his music or the family’s blessing, that’s up to the audience."
