Throw a rock in Hollywood and you’ll inevitably hit the production of a new rock biopic. Thanks to the massive success of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” studios just can’t get enough of these sing-along biopics focused on rock icons. And this year, the big film to carry the torch for the genre is “Rocketman.”
And in honor of “Rocketman” arriving on 4K, Blu-ray, DVD, and other platforms soon, we are thrilled to have an opportunity for our readers to win a new prize pack that gives you everything you need to live out your Elton John rock fantasies. Obviously, the pack includes a Blu-ray copy of the film, but there’s also a “Rocketman” bag, star sunglasses, an Elton John-esque jacket and a Bonaok karaoke microphone. You can’t be a megastar singer if you don’t have the proper tools, y’know.
As mentioned, the film stars Taron Egerton as Elton John and covers the story of the music icon’s rise to fame. Of course, what makes the film so enjoyable to watch (other than the fine craftsmanship from the cast and crew) are the songs that populate the film’s run-time.
To win the prize pack, all you have to do is follow The Playlist on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, tweet: “I want to win the ‘Rocketman’ prize pack from @ThePlaylist. #WinThePlaylistContest,” and include the URL of this story. Your final step: just email us your tweet to [email protected], with your full name and address, and tell us the name of your favorite Elton John song.
“Rocketman” arrives on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD tomorrow.
