Fan CastingElectric Warrior: The Marc Bolan Story

Electric Warrior is a dynamic, vibrant journey through the life of Marc Bolan—a musical pioneer, poet, and style icon whose glittering charisma and inventive sound carved the path for the glam rock movement of the '70s. This film captures Marc's relentless ambition and creative evolution: his humble beginnings as a young dreamer in post-war London, his early days as an underground folk artist, and his transformation into the charismatic frontman of T. Rex. Through the iconic music that sparked "T. Rextasy," Electric Warrior brings Bolan's world to life—the euphoric highs of fame, the ecstatic energy of live performances, and the dizzying allure of his hedonistic lifestyle. But as he climbs higher, we see the struggles beneath his glittering exterior: the pressure of constant reinvention and the deep, private fears he fought to keep hidden. Ultimately, the film leads up to Bolan's tragic end, celebrating the legacy he left behind—a legacy that continues to echo in music, fashion, and culture today. With scenes set to the unforgettable beats of “Get It On,” “20th Century Boy,” and “Children of the Revolution,” Electric Warrior is as much a sensory explosion as it is a story of one man’s passionate pursuit of artistry. Through bold cinematography and an electrifying soundtrack, the film will transport audiences back to the golden age of glam, delivering an emotional tribute to a rock icon whose music and style still resonate.
