One of the most anticipated films of 2022 is Elvis, biographical film and musical drama directed by Baz Luhrmann that will tell the story of the king of rock and roll and will be starring Austin Butler in the role of the musician and Tom Hanks as Tom Parker, the artist’s manager. Recently, Priscilla Presley -the ex-wife of the late and legendary singer-, said present at the Met Gala with the cast and the director of the project, and in addition to stating that he had already seen the film, he expressed his opinion about it: “I think it’s a movie for everyone. Even people who have heard stories about Elvis before are going to learn something.“.
Previously, after attending a private screening of the film, Priscilla wrote on Facebook that “this story is about the relationship between Elvis and Colonel Parker. It’s a true story, brilliantly and creatively told that only Baz, in his unique artistic form, could have pulled off.” “Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is outstanding“, he added. Finally, commented that the Australian filmmaker’s work will help people “understand a little more about Elvis’s journey” and praised the “heart and soul” that Lurhmann put into this film.
For her part, Luhrmann assured on the red carpet of the Met Gala that Priscilla’s positive comments are the best criticism she could have received. “There will never be, for Austin and I, a better return in our lifetime. We didn’t know what she would think. We were very nervous, and when we read the note he wrote to Austin and me, he burst into tears. That is the pure truth. Can you imagine that responsibility?” she said.
Elvis It will be released on June 22 in Australia and on June 24 in the rest of the world.
