We knew that a highly anticipated film like Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic would be invaluable to international festivals, and it did. Second Deadline, it was the Cannes Film Festival and Thierry Frémaux who defeated the competition and won the world premiere of the film, one of the most anticipated of 2022, a way like any other to give a lesson to Venice which, in 2021, managed to take home the preview of highly acclaimed films such as Dunes, Spencer And Madres Paralelas. The film, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and starring the young and promising Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks, will retrace the life and career of Elvis Presley focusing on his relationship with his manager Tom Parker, played by Hanks.
Austin Butler as Elvis
The main goal of Elvisat least judging from the first images offered by the trailer, it will focus on Presley’s ascending parable filtering it through the story of the complex dynamics between him and his manager. Over a period of more than two decades, Luhrmann will stage the debut, the rise, the consecration and the fame of an artist who would soon become a legend, giving way to a stardom that still today is hard to equal. In addition to Hanks and Butler, the film will also star Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley, Helen Thomson as Elvis’ mother Gladys, and Richard Roxburgh as father Vernon.
