Biopic “Stardust” is set to begin production mid 2019, and will be about a young David Bowie during his first visit to America in 1971, a trip that inspired the invention of his iconic alter ego Ziggy Stardust. Actor-musician Johnny Flynn has been cast to play the young Bowie.
Jena Malone is attached to play Bowie’s first wife, Angie, and Marc Maron will play his record company publicist. The project is due to feature a varied soundtrack from the era including a small number of Bowie performances.
Gabriel Range is set to direct from a script written by Christopher Bell.
Deadline first reported the news.
