For those curious about the new film ELVIS, Baz Luhrmann, the director, provided a private screening for me and Jerry Schilling at Warner studios recently. This story is about Elvis and Colonel Parker's relationship. It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. Austin Butler, who played Elvis is outstanding. Halfway through the film, Jerry and I looked at each other and said WOW!!! Bravo to him... he knew he had big shoes to fill. He was extremely nervous playing this part. I can only imagine. Tom Hanks was Col Parker in this film. What a character he was. There was two sides to Colonel, Jerry and I witnessed both. The story, as we all know, does not have a happy ending. But I think you will understand a little bit more of Elvis's journey, penned by a director who put his heart and soul and many hours into this film. [104] The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on May 25, 2022, where it received a twelve-minute standing ovation from the audience, the longest for an Australian film at the festival and tying with Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker for the longest overall. [66] [67] [68] It also opened the Guadalajara International Film Festival in Mexico on June 10 [69] and at the Sydney Film Festival in Australia on June 15. [70] I've purposely delayed from discussing the best reason to go see all 160 ungainly minutes, and that is Butler's glorious performance. The young man simply dissolves into the role and makes you forget you're watching an actor. The way he captures the cadence, the drawl, the presence of Elvis, and not just his jerky movements, is phenomenal, and then you remember that it's Butler doing all his own singing as well, and the spell is near complete. He is Elvis. It's a performance guaranteed to win as many plaudits as awards season has to offer. Through Butler's performance, a younger generation can understand what all the hubbub was about. The man brings the character to life but he especially brings Elvis the performer to startling life. Even if you hate Luhrmann's other movies, and he is definitely divisive, and even if you couldn't care less about Elvis in the year 2022, this movie is well worth watching for the sheer brilliance of Butler alone. In the original movie, the producers were not too pleased with Elvis movie career ... ok ... we all now he was no Oscar winner, but to ignore all those beautiful movie songs is a bit too much ... SO, here now is a nice medley of some great movie performances! She added that watching the film reminded her of her own son, Benjamin, who died by suicide in 2020, saying he would have loved it as well. [101] [102]

Kelsey Grammer – The Expendables 3, Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return, Think Like a Man Too, and Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) On June 12, 2022, Luhrmann revealed that when Presley sings in the film, it is Butler's vocals that are used when he is young, while Presley's vocals are used when he is older. To prove it, he released on social media an early 2019 pre-production test shoot of Butler as young Presley performing " That's All Right" live on set, which went viral and received an overwhelmingly positive response from viewers. [41] [42] Butler's vocals were blended with Presley's when he is older. [43] [44] Marketing [ edit ] A closing statement additionally explains that a series of lawsuits in the 1980s exposed Parker's financial abuse of Elvis, with Parker settling out of court and cutting his ties to the Presley estate after failing to claim immunity as a stateless person. Elvis Presley remains the greatest-selling solo artist in history, beloved by millions worldwide even decades after his death, while Parker dies impoverished and alone on a hospital bed, having gambled the rest of his ill-gotten fortune away.

Paiella, Gabriella (May 25, 2022). "Austin Butler is a hunk of burning love". GQ. Archived from the original on May 25, 2022 . Retrieved May 25, 2022.As the popular culture of the 1960s passes Elvis by, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 devastate him. Although he wants to become more politically outspoken in his music, Parker has booked a family-friendly Christmas television special where he will only perform frivolous feel-good songs. Elvis works with Steve Binder to re-imagine the special, and his performance choices, including the closing song " If I Can Dream", incorporate not only a review of his past songs but also political commentary. Infuriated corporate sponsors threaten litigation, while Parker believes Elvis has been "brainwashed by hippies." Nevertheless, the show is highly successful.
