ELVIS is an epic, big-screen spectacle from Warner Bros. Pictures and visionary, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Baz Luhrmann that explores the life and music of Elvis Presley, starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s (Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). As told by Parker, the film delves into the complex dynamic between the two spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).
Starring alongside Butler and Hanks, award-winning theatre actress Helen Thomson (“Top of the Lake: China Girl,” “Rake”) plays Elvis’s mother, Gladys, Richard Roxburgh (“Moulin Rouge!” “Breath,” “Hacksaw Ridge”) portrays Elvis’s father, Vernon, and DeJonge (“The Visit,” “Stray Dolls”) plays Priscilla. Luke Bracey (“Hacksaw Ridge,” “Point Break”) plays Jerry Schilling, Natasha Bassett (“Hail, Caesar!”) plays Dixie Locke, David Wenham (“The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, “Lion,” “300”) plays Hank Snow, Kelvin Harrison Jr. (“The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “The High Note”) plays B.B. King, Xavier Samuel (“Adore,” “Love & Friendship,” “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) plays Scotty Moore, and Kodi Smit-McPhee (“The Power of the Dog”) plays Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
Also in the cast, Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things,” “The Broken Heart Gallery”) plays TV director Steve Binder, alongside Australian actors Leon Ford (“Gallipoli,” “The Pacific”) as Tom Diskin, Kate Mulvany (“The Great Gatsby,” “Hunters”) as Marion Keisker, Gareth Davies (“Peter Rabbit,” “Hunters”) as Bones Howe, Charles Grounds (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “Camp”) as Billy Smith, Josh McConville (“Fantasy Island”) as Sam Phillips, and Adam Dunn (“Home and Away”) as Bill Black.
To play additional iconic musical artists in the film, Luhrmann cast singer/songwriter Yola as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, model Alton Mason as Little Richard, Austin, Texas native Gary Clark Jr. as Arthur Crudup, and artist Shonka Dukureh as Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton.
Oscar nominee Luhrmann (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”) directed from a screenplay by Baz Luhrmann & Sam Bromell and Baz Luhrmann & Craig Pearce and Jeremy Doner, story by Baz Luhrmann and Jeremy Doner. The film’s producers are Luhrmann, Oscar winner Catherine Martin (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”), Gail Berman, Patrick McCormick and Schuyler Weiss. Toby Emmerich, Courtenay Valenti and Kevin McCormick executive produced.
The director’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Mandy Walker (“Mulan,” “Australia”), Oscar-winning production designer and costume designer Catherine Martin (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”), production designer Karen Murphy (“A Star Is Born”), editors Matt Villa (“The Great Gatsby,” “Australia”) and Jonathan Redmond (“The Great Gatsby”), Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Thomas Wood (“Mad Max: Fury Road”), music supervisor Anton Monsted (“Australia,” “Moulin Rouge!”) and composer Elliott Wheeler (“The Get Down”).
Principal photography on “Elvis” took place in Queensland, Australia with the support of the Queensland Government, Screen Queensland, and the Australian Government’s Producer Offset program.
A Warner Bros. Pictures Presentation, A Bazmark Production, A Jackal Group Production, A Baz Luhrmann Film, “Elvis” will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is set to release in theaters in North America on June 24, 2022, and internationally beginning 22 June 2022.
I should watch this movie for sure
Wow, as good as Val’s performance in the doors.
That was incredible.
Phenomenal…
I hope he sounds like this in the movie he sounds good
Genius ACTING – Incredibly right on, all over it…what BRILLIANCE!
To light
" geez", Austin!👌
I definitely think an Oscar is headed his way.
Jesus H Christ!! He killed it!
Wow!
I’m looking forward to seeing this. And after this, another Biopic that should be made is one on Kurt Cobain. He deserves the spotlight too.
Looks nothing like elvis what a joke, makes him look bad, kurk russel did a better job.
Like watching elvis in 1968 but with vocals from. 56
I maybe exaggerating here but I swear to GOD!! When he started to sing I went "OMG It’s Elvis!" I was smiling so hard it was amazing to see and hear. I love it and can’t wait to see it. His mama is sure damn proud.
woah wtf! Soooooo good
Talk about a reincarnation….
Unreal performance by Austin Butler👏
Whoa!! I’m in awe of this. It was like watching a young Elvis himself doing an audition. Imagine being in that room & witnessing that kid literally become the king… chills
At last an actor to portray the king of rock and roll with the closest singing voice of elvis himself….. Bravo mr austin butler ….
Ok fans, this is exactly why Austin Butler Will Win in caps the Oscar…hands down. It’s time for all of us to get behind the movement to insure Hollywood takes notice and revisits the contributions of Elvis during his movie career….I was lucky to experience the Elvis world he created back in the 50’s ….black & white television appearances, buying his 45’s for 39 cents, going to see Love Me Tender in a movie palace, that’s right a movie palace in Washington Heights, New York….years later Elvis live in Madison Square Garden…fast forward 3 1/2 years ago I began writing my book, never knowing that this monumental movie was in the works…Of course I haven’t seen the movie yet, only the trailers but the new book Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar gives an accurate account of why Elvis deserves an Oscar for not only his 31 movies but for his unequaled contributions to the movie industry. On another note everyone who had the opportunity to see Elvis movies in the theaters when they were originally released always came away with a unique and gratifying movie experience. Elvis was not only a movie star but a great actor also. Austin Butler will absolutely win the Oscar for his performance in “Elvis”. This is the movie you must see, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar is the book you must read, 536 pages with a great cover. It’s time Hollywood recognized Elvis for his contributions to the movie industry…when Austin Butler gets his Oscar next year and he will, Hollywood needs to right the ship and give one to Elvis. For those who say I’m wrong, for those who want to criticize these feelings, remember what you are witnessing is coming from the greatness that Elvis possessed……Elvis never really left the building, he is forever right there in our minds and hearts….as Ed Sullivan would say “tonight this is going to be a really really big show right here on our stage, Elvis……Presley………
He nailed it.
Wow he does a really good Elvis can’t wait to see the movie!
Woah…
Good
The guy was born to play Elvis!
He needs to have more power in his voice
elvis was a rac ist jun kie, who stoIe all his music..
but he will be celebrated forever…
white privilege at it’s worst 😡
Perfect 💙
Omg you sounds like Elvis Presley 🤯🤯🤯
Surpreendente e brilhante. Surprising is brilliant.
Nah tf he sounds the same I don’t care what y’all say
Wow
The Wait is Almost Over
If he pulls this off ..I’m gonna be. Crying..
He doesn’t even look like Elvis to me. I can’t see it. Pass

Warner Bros, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
@ imagine a world ..what did you mean by lyrics sang by a disgusting person before that? If you are referring these comments to Sir EP the King of Rock n Roll then go back under the rock you crawled from. No need for nasty comments egg🇼🇸
Damn wtf it’s like elvis himself possessed this dude ..amazing
He should play James Dean too before he gets to old.
Warner Bros and DC Should bring back Green Lantern The Animated with a new season (Season 2) and stream it on HBO max as a max original, like Young Justice
truth is the movie has been getting mixed to bad reviews, so lower your expectations
god damn
Very cool
Wow, Awesome cover of a great Elvis song! I can tell this will be an awesome movie and found the best actor today to nail the role of Elvis! This cover I think almost sounds identical to Elvis’ version!!
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
