Luhrmann came across unseen footage fromElvis On TourandElvis:That’sThe Way It Iswith a view to using it in his biopic. 68 boxes of35mmand8mmfootage were found in theWarner Bros.film archives in salt mines in Kansas,but asthe footagedidn’thave any sound, Luhrmann’s team restored andsyncedit to existing audio sources.
Discussing the film in January, Luhrmann toldDeadline, “I wouldn’t call it a documentary, or a concert film; our aim here is to make something new in the Elvis canon … to bring something to the screen that befits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life.”
Luhrmann’s 2022 movie explored the life of Presley, played byAustin Butler, withTom Hanksplaying his manager, Colonel Tom Parker.It became a critical and commercial success, grossing over $288million andreceiving eight Oscar nominations. In 2023, Luhrmann confirmed plans for a stage adaptation.
NMEgave Elvis a four-star review, calling the movie “a big-screen epic we can’t help falling in love with” andsummarising: “The overwhelming feeling is of sadness, but strangely admiration too. Even at his lowest, Elvis’ commitment to putting on a show for his fans was total. If only Parker had been as loyal, he might still be on stage now.”
