We’ve also provided details about the film’s plot and topped it all off with some trailers.

Elvis (2022): What you need to know
Elvis is a 2022 biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner. The film follows the life of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock n Roll, but it’s told from the perspective of his corrupt manager Colonel Tom Parker. It stars Austin Butler in the title role, with Tom Hanks as Parker.
You see Elvis’ rise to fame, his complicated relationship with his parents and manager and wife, and 20 years of his life in superstardom played out on the silver screen. It’s a must-watch for Elvis fans, music lovers, and anyone who likes a good musical drama. Lisa Marie Presley thinks Butler should win an Oscar for his portrayal of her father, Elvis.
She wrote on Twitter that he is “nothing short of spectacular. Absolutely exquisite. Austin Butler channeled and embodied my father’s heart & soul beautifully.” She continued, In my humble opinion, his performance is unprecedented and FINALLY done accurately and respectfully. (If he doesn’t get an Oscar for this, I will eat my own foot, haha.)”
