Teaser Trailer Gives Fans a First Look at Baz Luhrmann's Untitled ELVIS PRESLEY Biopic

A very brief teaser trailer has been released for the Untitled Elvis Presley biopic that is being directed by Baz Luhrmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!) from a script he co-wrote with Craig Pearce and Sam Bromell. The film stars Austin Butler (Glee, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) in the role of the king of rock and roll. The rest of the incredible cast includes Tom Hanks as Col.

Tom Parker, Luke Bracey, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Dacre Montgomery, David Wenham, Richard Roxburgh, Kate Mulvany, Elizabeth Cullen, and Natasha Bassett, with Kelvin Harrison Jr. as B.B. King, and Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

Set against an evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America, Baz Luhrmann's upcoming Elvis movie covers the rock legend’s growth from dirt-poor singer to global icon, seen through the prism of his complex relationship over two decades with manager Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks). Presley reached a level of stardom matched only by the Beatles before his death in 1977 at the age of 42.

This teaser doesn’t give us a whole lot to go on, but I am looking forward to seeing more from it for sure. Check it out below, and watch the film when it’s released on June 24th, 2022.
