One of the best and, at least, my fave movies of the year so far is Baz Luhrmann’s brilliant Elvis, which initially premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, before becoming a global critical and commercial hit. While the film is still playing in cinemas, we have the full release information for the home debut, which arrives really rather soon.
A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s (Austin Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom 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 film will arrive on digital from 8th August, and then on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD from 19th September.
We also have the expected bonus elements.
