Watch Johnny Flynn in the Trailer for David Bowie Biopic 'Stardust'

The trailer for the controversial new David Bowie biopic Stardust is here, and fans of the iconic performer are likely to have conflicting feelings about it.

Though most Bowie enthusiast (yours truly included) are likely quite excited about the thought of a film that explores the singer's quite singular life, it's not entirely sure that Stardust is going to be the film that they - or anyone else for that matter - truly wanted.

Because Stardust doesn't have the rights to use any of Bowie's actual music, nor did the Bowie estate bless this particular cinematic effort, likely because much of the story at its center is apparently at least partially made up. Now, that said, this doesn't mean that Stardust doesn't capture the atmosphere and attitude of Bowie correctly, or that even without his iconic songs, there isn't value to be found in the story of how he ultimately discovered and set free the insane rock god that lived inside him. But...it doesn't make you feel great about it, is all. (Especially if you just watched recent films like Rocketman or Bohemian Rhapsody, both of which were positively bursting with Elton John and Queen music and at least made efforts to consult the real-life people involved.)
