Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS Footage Reaction Video - CinemaCon 2022

During the Warner Bros. panel on day two of CinemaCon 2022 we were able to get a look at Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis. The movie chronicles the life, love and loss of legendary singer Elvis Presley.

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).”

Starring alongside Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, we have Helen Thomson (Top of the Lake: China Girl) as Elvis’s mother, Gladys; Richard Roxburgh (Hacksaw Ridge) as Elvis’s father, Vernon; and DeJonge (The Visit) plays Priscilla. Luke Bracey (Hacksaw Ridge) plays Jerry Schilling; Natasha Bassett (Hail, Caesar!) plays Dixie Locke; David Wenham (The Lord of the Rings) plays Hank Snow; Kelvin Harrison Jr. (The Trial of the Chicago 7) plays B.B. King; Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) plays Scotty Moore; and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Power of the Dog) plays Jimmie Rodgers Snow.

Elvis is set to be released in theaters on June 24th, 2022. Check out our reaction to the footage we saw from the film in our video below.
