“Stardust” will examine the life of Bowie before he became one of the most iconic artists in the history of music. The drama is set in 1971, when Bowie was 24 and journeying on his first trip to America with his struggling publicist Ron Oberman, played by Marc Maron. During this period, Bowie created his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust, a turning point in his legendary career that marked the beginning of his meteoric rise.
Johnny Flynn, singer and songwriter for the band Johnny Flynn & The Sussex Wit, will portray Bowie. His previous acting credits include Autumn de Wilde’s “Emma” from earlier this year, “Beast” in 2017, the 2014 drama “Clouds of Sils Maria” and more. Fellow cast members include Maron, Aaron Poole as Bowie’s guitarist Mick Ronson, Roanna Cocharne, Jorja Cadence, Annie Briggs, Ryan Blakley and Jena Malone as Angie Bowie, the artist’s ex-wife.
Filming took place in July 2019 in Toronto and the U.S., and the production wrapped in September 2019. “Stardust” was originally supposed to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in April 2020, but the fest was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In August, IFC Films obtained the worldwide distribution rights to the film.
Bowie died on January 10, 2016, and has gone down as one of the world’s most influential artists and pop culture icons. He sold more than 100 million records during his lifetime, making him one of the all-time best-selling musicians. His final album “Blackstar,” which released two days before his death, won five Grammy awards in 2017.
No. No he doesn't.
'Transforms' - er, really?
Johnny Flynn is Noel Fielding as Cilla Black.
What an absolute shower of sh*t Stardust
Transforms you say... Transformed into something I won’t say he looks anything like David Bowie
One of the finest artists of all time, portrayed by one of the worst actors of all time. How on Earth did this get greenlit? 👀😫🔫
It should have been me 😾😾😾
If it isn’t Domhnall Gleeson as Bowie, I don’t want it
Looks more like Mickey from the League of Gentlemen:
Nope. Not as good as the time Bowie came to mine to play Atari. He wasn't great but then he did spend a lot of time in Boots choosing his make up. X
Looks like Ewan McGregor playing Molly Ringwald.
And what does ManMadeMoon think about this?
No.
more like shit sandwich
Yikes 😳
