Stardust: An interview with Johnny Flynn and Gabriel Range

Stardust: An interview with Johnny Flynn and Gabriel Range

Stardust is a 2020 British-Canadian biographical film about the legendary David Bowie and his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust. Set in 1971, 24-year-old David Bowie embarks on his first road trip to America with Mercury Records publicist Ron Oberman, only to be met with a world not yet ready for him. The film offers an insight into how Bowie first created Ziggy Stardust; the turning point of his career that established him as a cultural icon.

We spoke to director Gabriel Range and Johnny Flynn – who plays Bowie – about what sets it apart from other music biopics, the challenges surrounding the production and how one goes about preparing to play one of the world’s biggest stars.
