Release Date: 24 June, 2022
The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker 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 most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).​

Will be 100% watching this. I enjoy Elvis' music, so a movie on his life gets my interest and it has Tom Hanks in it. Sold.

This better be more than someone just doing a wiki search and making music videos.

The last batch of biopics have been crap.

Damn so weird hearing Austin butler speak with Elvis’ accent but it sounds pretty good tbh. He doesn’t look like him really but what’re you gonna do. The trailer didn’t look all that great honestly. I’m gonna watch it cause I watch every movie and I love Elvis but I really hope they get it right.

Blown away by that Trailer and I really enjoyed that Scene where a buddy of Elvis told him if I did what you did I would thrown into Jail but since you're a popular white boy it's okay. Elvis made love to the Microphone Stand with every Song which would later you would see plenty of other acts in the future especially guys like Prince take it to the next level.

I enjoyed the trailer. The only thing I found a bit weird was Tom Hanks' accent I think. Movie looked incredibly fun to me though, and I love listening to Elvis.

Looks like a decent watch. If you haven't seen the Michael Shannon as Elvis attempting to becoming a deputy under Richard Nixon (Spacey) I'd recommend it. Not the greatest film in the world, but it's very unique.

Tom Hanks looks weird to me lmao, I love Elvis music, and his whole story is fascinating. Hopefully this will be good. Just hearing Elvis music throughout will definitely save it no matter what for me.

The accent seems off. I think the lead looks awesome though, he very much looks like Elvis to me in quite a few shots.

Anyone ever seen a picture of Elvis' grandson? It is uncanny how much they look alike.

The first Trailer for this Film blew me away and this Trailer was even better. This is going in the direction I wanna see with Elvis now please stick the landing. After this Film I wouldn't mind this guy doing Prince or Michael Jackson especially Prince.

I’m super pumped for this one, this is a must see. I’m gonna have to take my Mom to see this one because she loves Elvis.
