A first clip has arrived for Elvis, the Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic set to debut at this month’s Cannes Film Festival. Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh, Luke Bracey, Natasha Bassett, David Wenham, Kelvin Harrison Jr, Xavier Samuel, and Kodi Smit-McPhee leas the cast of the movie.
The synopsis is as follows:
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).
The new clip gives us an impression of the style of Luhrmann’s new film, which opens in cinemas later this year.
