From Oscar-nominated visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ drama “Elvis,” starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks.
This 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 Hanks and Butler, award-winning theatre actress Helen Thomson (“Top of the Lake: China Girl,” “Rake”) plays Elvis’s mother, Gladys, Richard Roxburgh (“Moulin Rouge!” “Breath,” “Hacksaw Ridge”) portrays Elvis’s father, Vernon, and DeJonge (“The Visit,” “Stray Dolls”) plays Priscilla. Luke Bracey (“Hacksaw Ridge,” “Point Break”) plays Jerry Schilling, Natasha Bassett (“Hail, Caesar!”) plays Dixie Locke, David Wenham (“The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy, “Lion,” “300”) plays Hank Snow, Kelvin Harrison Jr. (“The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “The High Note”) plays B.B. King, Xavier Samuel (“Adore,” “Love & Friendship,” “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”) plays Scotty Moore, and Kodi Smit-McPhee (“The Power of the Dog”) plays Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
Also in the cast, Dacre Montgomery (“Stranger Things,” “The Broken Heart Gallery”) plays TV director Steve Binder, alongside Australian actors Leon Ford (“Gallipoli,” “The Pacific”) as Tom Diskin, Kate Mulvany (“The Great Gatsby,” “Hunters”) as Marion Keisker, Gareth Davies (“Peter Rabbit,” “Hunters”) as Bones Howe, Charles Grounds (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “Camp”) as Billy Smith, Josh McConville (“Fantasy Island”) as Sam Phillips, and Adam Dunn (“Home and Away”) as Bill Black.
To play additional iconic musical artists in the film, Luhrmann cast singer/songwriter Yola as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, model Alton Mason as Little Richard, Austin, Texas native Gary Clark Jr. as Arthur Crudup, and artist Shonka Dukureh as Willie Mae “Big Mama” Thornton.
Oscar nominee Luhrmann (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”) directed from a screenplay by Baz Luhrmann & Sam Bromell and Baz Luhrmann & Craig Pearce and Jeremy Doner, story by Baz Luhrmann and Jeremy Doner. The film’s producers are Luhrmann, Oscar winner Catherine Martin (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”), Gail Berman, Patrick McCormick and Schuyler Weiss. Courtenay Valenti and Kevin McCormick executive produced.
The director’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Mandy Walker (“Mulan,” “Australia”), Oscar-winning production designer and costume designer Catherine Martin (“The Great Gatsby,” “Moulin Rouge!”), production designer Karen Murphy (“A Star Is Born”), editors Matt Villa (“The Great Gatsby,” “Australia”) and Jonathan Redmond (“The Great Gatsby”), Oscar-nominated visual effects supervisor Thomas Wood (“Mad Max: Fury Road”), music supervisor Anton Monsted (“Australia,” “Moulin Rouge!”) and composer Elliott Wheeler (“The Get Down”).
Principal photography on “Elvis” took place in Queensland, Australia with the support of the Queensland Government, Screen Queensland and the Australian Government’s Producer Offset program.

Kinda funny how Forrest Gump’s earliest memory is giving Elvis a room to rent, now years later Tom Hanks is playing Tom Parker
Omg I just realized that, that is honestly awesome
Lol, you’re right 🤣
Good catch, Dyllan Jay
I thought the same thing the first time I seen the trailer 😃 I'm really excited to see this
I love this comment
When he said “It has everything to do with us” He sounded exactly like Elvis.
He did sound like Elvis he’s a really good actor.
Sounds like Grimmel form How To Train Your Dragons
@@MTG_7 no. Shut up
like EXACTLY like him!!!
My heart skipped a beat.
“I’m gonna be 40 soon, and nobodies gonna remember me”. If only he knew how much his music and presence would impact the world still to this day. What a great movie!
What a Great Comment👌
It’s almost nonexistent lol Nobody listens to him😂

@@jonjones4972 "Nobody?"
*the video you're commenting on has 23 million views.*
Only thing I recall of him is….. jailhouse rock, that he stole black people music annnnnnnnnd that he got his dance from forest gump😂
It’s crazy how Austin Butler had to replicate his accent and the way he moved and danced from 3 different decades. Just doing anything Elvis did was pure talent. What an amazing job Austin did. Top 5 favorite movie now.
He was born in the same area, Tupelo so it wasn't too hard for him!
@@rainbowstones5431 No... no he wasn't
☝️
Yup but if he only got the looks
@@rainbowstones5431no he wasn’t
Honestly, this is the first time I’ve felt that “movie magic” experience in a very long time and it’s just a trailer!
Me too. Somehow I knew nothing about this movie being made. Just showed up in my recommended videos. Can't wait now.
Same, made me almost cry in the theater, don't know why. Can't wait to see it
Me too!
Say that again!!!!
That line where he says “I need to get back to who I really am” took my breath away when I saw it in the trailer for the first time.
This movie looks like the kind of experience you rarely ever get.
Let’s just hope they follow it up well
This guy’s head is too narrow to look like Elvis. They coulda went down to the Vegas strip and found someone better.
He sounds very close though
it does!
They could of least found an actor that resembles Elvis. It looks nothing like him
This movie was AMAZING.
Best movie of 2022 in my opinion
Agreed.
If trailers could win Oscars...this one would win...hands down.
… how come??
@@shannonceleste5557 It's a brilliant trailer.
Fr tho
These bio pic trailers are always so amazing. Rocketman had a really good one too.
@@shannonceleste5557 oh u millenials cant understand
It's crazy that Austin went from a C-list actor in Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, appearing as guest stars and supporting roles and suddenly he just shows up, got the chance to play Elvis and has been getting a ton of positive response. Amazing how far he has become
Well, he was already great from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
This break is what he needed to show him to the world. A perfect Elvis. He’s talented, kind and well spoken..obviously worked hard to nail Elvis..and he did!!
@@delrey874 Honestly I didnt even pay attention to him in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Dont get me wrong I paid attention to his character but I couldnt have told you who it was watching the movie. But this film I feel is his break out movie.
That's a career path common to many actors. From unknowns, they play a role in a hit movie and suddenly they become celebrities.
@@nooan79 yes and Austin spent two years preparing for this role. Actors dedication like that is what leads them to stardom. I love hearing them talking about their prep for particular roles they’ve played. We’re going to be seeing a lot more of Austin I’m sure. ☺️
He’s been gone since 1977, and is STILL the best selling solo artist of all time. ❤ long live the king. ❤
The Oscar's have been a joke the last 20 years so its not what it once was , Austin Butler portrayal of Elvis will live forever as he brought Elvis to a whole new generation.
If this movie comes even CLOSE to this trailer, it's gonna be a huge hit!
Oscar winner
I sincerely hope it's nothing like this god-awful trailer
@@Reesemello you seem to be the only one who thinks the trailer sucks
@@joannecendana i’m not impressed
@@transendencem8480 your hard to impress.
“I’m going to be 40 soon and nobody’s gonna remember me.”
Brought tears and chills
Elvis will always be remembered as the King
one step behind the great Buddy Holly.

@Chrissy 123 😂😂😂
@Chrissy 123 to you nobody i know talks about him
@@wisdomisgangster3113 maybe you're 12 and your friends talk about bts. Doesn't mean they have a great legacy like elvis. Elvis is a musical icon like some few others.
It's truly impressive how after 45 years Elvis is still getting new fans and how his songs are being listened to by younger generations. Thanks to this amazing movie and Austin's remarkable job in portraying him we are rediscovering and uncovering bits of his life we didn't know about. I, personally, have a whole new perspective and respect for Elvis now. Going to see the movie for the zillionth time!
Yes ❤
I will make elvis legacy go on when I get children I hope he never getts forgotten even after 1000 of years
In this world there is only one elvish yadav
That's very true, how long have you been listening to Elvis songs?
Elvis never left the building. Greatest entertainer of all time...
I think Austin Butler is going to make history with this performance, Isn’t easy as an actor to carry the king of rock&roll on his shoulders.
they should do a deep fake, Just like they did with Mark Hamill in the Mandolrian
You can’t deepfake an entire movie-it would be a disaster. The tech is getting better, but the lips and eyes still look dead.
@@ericeli1993 it would take so long to render that, it would cost way too much in time and money than its honestly worth, i think the actor looks good as elvis
I agree. I think he was a perfect choice!
Skip this, I already see mistakes in it!
Watch actual concert footage of Elvis from early on!
Watch and listen to his concerts, his recording sessions, interviews etc!
When you’ve had the very best...Elvis Presley....
No one else compares!
Elvis was beautiful inside & out!
TCB⚡️TLC⚡️
I cannot recall the last time a movie trailer gave me that feeling you got as a child when something great was coming and the anticipation of the day finally arriving.
the lego movie
Yes, absolutely agree. For me as a child, that was two things: the day my parents divorced and when I got herpes from two different men
Tim Burton's Batman...1989.
I got that on bohemiam rhapsody and joker now at elvis and blonde
The toy story movies
Austin Butler should have won at the Oscar’s just for the trailer,I mean this is the best movie trailer I’ve ever seen in my life and Austin Butler was incredible in this movie and he deserved to win
I’m only 20 years old and didn’t know much about Elvis, but this film completely deepened my perspective about music and was an emotional experience learning about this man. It moved me to tears seeing how much of an impact Elvis had on so many people, even across the world. My respect and appreciation for the past has increased tenfold. I’ve been telling all my same-aged friends to watch it
I feel it I'm 25 and have found a new respect for what I once thought was just a dude who loved to wear rhinestones, sing cheesy casino music, and eat peanut butter banana sandwiches but he's was so much more than that and genuinely dude was a legend and probably one of the coolest guys of his entire era sadly lead to an early grave by over dedication, financial mismanagement, and a grifting snowman with a bad gambling problem.
@@lordfrieza3792 You said it perfectly, if I could live in a different era I'd love to witness the 60s for this man! It really is unfortunate that all this led to an early death but no doubt, still going strong generations later
good movie
@@chea1004 me too, I love music, imagine witnessing Beale Street back then? And Sun studios

0:38 fun fact
Elvis first started shaking his legs because he was so nervous, but quickly realized that’s what the crowd was starting to look at, he couldn’t stop it so he begins moving his legs MORE trying to play it off. And his first crowd loved it!
Hmm not exactly. Elvis said “it all comes natural to me”
After his first performance, Elvis went backstage to ask his manager why all the girls were screaming and his manager said “I don’t know son, but whatever you did go out there and do it again”
And how do you know this?
@@MichaelJ44 is correct. Elvis wasn’t aware of why they were going so crazy in the moment. But part of it was definitely due to his nerves. Even through his last concert, his nerves would drive him crazy before going on stage. Once he was out there, he was fine but he experienced enormous anxiety leading up to a show
Lemme guess: you got this off of Facebook
@@kevinsaint20 Yes this is true. But Elvis would later do way more than just move his legs. He knew what drove them wild. He even humped the stage at one point.
Get chills every time he starts singing Unchained Melody.
My mannnn
I like that version
When I see the trailer, I consistently get emotional. Unchained Melody almost brings tears to my eyes.
Same here! As soon as I hear unchained melody I get teary eyed!
Totally agree ! Takes my breath away absolutely amazing!!! 😥❤

Elvis had left the building...💙👑🎙
They say Elvis had the most beautiful voice in the world, but the actor sings the songs in the film...ridiculous
@@stoteles2 yeah kinda like bohemian rhapsody.. it just wasn’t anywhere close to
unchained melody just hits me in the soul
My Dad seen Elvis in concert (tried to) in 56' when he was 17 and as soon as Elvis started his first song the girls swarmed the stage and they had to get him out of there! My Dad almost got trampled but someone pulled him out of the crowd. My Dad said never in his life had he seen someone with so much charisma..not before or since like that! If my Dad was alive today he would of definitely liked this movie :)
"Tragedy, but it has nothing to do with us."
"It has everything to do with us."
Goosebumps!
I got them wen he said I will be 40 soon no one will remember me
@The Usual Sus didn’t know poverty was a privilege.....
@The Usual Sus wow wisdom bro
Cringe
Also fake. Elvis stood completely loose from politics and society in general. This is also reflected in his performances.
this trailer came out the day my grandmother passed. she was an Elvis fanatic. she went to one of his shows, and he threw out a towel while performing and she grabbed it! she would’ve loved to see this movie. rest in peace grandma 🖤
this dude is the worse example of affirmative action in history of the America.
She doesn’t have to see it, to quote Pee Wee’s Big Adventure she “lived it” :)
@@ENigma-um8zw that’s a beautiful perspective, thank you 🙏
My grandma is too and I hope she gets a chance to watch this. Your gran sounds like she was an icon too❤️
Sorry for your lost
best movie of 2022 by far, very impactful, ima have to rewatch it again this year
Rest In Peace Lisa Marie Presley. January 12, 2023.
First Bohemian Rhapsody, then Rocketman, now The King of Rock? Who’s next, The king of Pop?
Funnily enough they announced recently they’re doing a mj film lol
We need no movies about pedophiles, thank you.
@@wesdon8131 Hilarious
watch.. a Sintatra movie might get greenlight
@@r.p.mcmurphy6623 well I disagree he was but you’re entitled to your opinion lol
My grandma is just about the biggest Elvis fan. Can't wait to show her this.
EDIT: She saw it and she says that she's super excited to see the movie when it comes out.
Same here both my grandparents are huge Elvis fans THE KING OF ROCK N ROLL
She will be greatly disappointed... That actor is s horrible choice...
Same as my aunt.
Then show it to her bruh and tell us her reaction
Elvis did in fact wear mascara and eyeshadow, especially in the early days.
The best movie that I ever seen before 10/10 movie long live the king 👑 forever ❤
after hearing about Lisa Marie's passing, I came back to this trailer. I wept. I feel so sad for Priscilla and her family. Rest In Peace Lisa.
Didn’t know how to feel about Austin butler but after seeing this he’s coming for all of the awards. The damn trailer got me emotional
Mark these words. Austin Butler is about to become a MAJOR STAR.
For sure! I was super skeptical but he looks legit!
I feel like his makeup is really bad and cakey idk if they did that on purpose. Like I see a guy dressed as Elvis but I don’t see Elvis cuz the makeup tried too hard to look like him. Idk it’s cognitive dissonance
I'm glad this movie showed Elvis LOVED and respected black gospel, black music period and he did give the black artist he worked with a chance. Whitney's Houston's mother toured with this man for years and we got to see Miss Cissy Houston in all her glory. I hope they also show his friendship with Jackie Wilson
I had always heard that he stole most of his songs and music from black people
True
@@se78n39 that’s what I heard to. That’s not surprising because white people have done that for decades and this was a time where black people were dehumanized (the most) to where it didn’t matter and nobody cared.
@@timotheechammywammy3214 @Harold Love
Elvis was very humble with his relationship with the black community and black musicians, saying “ A lot of people seem to think I started this business. But rock ‘n roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that kind of music like coloured people. Let’s face it, I can’t sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.”
BB King, a close friend of Elvis and great musician, said “ I don’t think Elvis ripped them off, I think once something has been exposed, anyone can add or take from it if they like…To me, they didn’t make a mistake when they called him ‘The King.’”
@@dannygrant639 Yeah lol i literally looked it up and its a hoax
Austin Butler, a star is born 👍👍👍
“It has everything to do with us” chills every time
Just makes you want to build a time machine and go back to the 50s and 60s to watch this Legend perform.
Yea but only if you are white.
I was there! I saw him live on the Ed Sullivan Show. WOW!
I’m black so no.
I don’t think that I would be allowed in
@@sharonpresley9874 Really??
4 months later and this movie is still master piece
Happy one year anniversary, Elvis movie!
The girl screaming at the one minute mark really sells the whole thing. Her scream looks involuntary from a state of shock and confusion , like a scientist shocked her brain! She was not paid enough for that scream.
totally my thought . as a woman i know that scream and the makeup really accentuates the whole thing . it's not sexual it's just wild
she was paid too much.
"IF I CAN'T MOVE ,I CAN'T SING"
DAMN goosebumps 😭
I implore anyone to watch this movie, absolutely amazing.
I lived the Elvis era. Over the course of four decades, I have watched many movies, specials, documentaries, etc. about Elvis Presley and his life. However, this film was extraordinary! I cannot recall the last time I was entertained and moved by a film where I already knew the story's beginning, middle, and end. It was a testament to the man's talent, his influence, and his effort to be somebody. It also paid homage to Elvis's determination to be decent man. I kept hearing Alannah Miles' "Black Velvet" in my head throughout the movie. Elvis is an integral part of our American DNA.
Priscilla deserves a lot more credit. She’s kept his memory alive and protected him with so much class, grace and style… despite all she went through. She is an amazing woman and his other half. If you actually sit and watch her past interviews she loved Elvis but the rock and roll lifestyle and is infidelity made her choose herself. She did the right thing in my opinion leaving as he was not a healthy person in the end … it was not healthy for her of her child to be his codependent. . and yet she still stayed friends with him and speaks highly of him and never expects anyone to ask about her even though she’s amazing. Look at that hotel she built and all she’s done. She herself had amazing taste and he chose her for a reason. I don’t think anyone could have done it better on his behalf after he was gone.
I believe if Elvis wasnt famous, they would have been perfectly in love and marriage. However, he had all the money in the world, resulting in all the bad
her and Austin butler went to the met gala together this year !!
@@micahsalas8963 I don’t think this is good to say tbh considering Priscilla was 14 when they met and had a relationship while she was a minor
@@audramcdonaldapologist3676 i heard her parents forced him to marry her is that true?
ya in a documentry she even said though they where divorced he would stil always call her and she appreciated that,even though after her he was about to marry another woman he didnt realy want that,in the endstages of his life he was more lived then alive but my god that man lived his life mostly his way.
“I’m gonna be 40 soon and nobody’s gonna remember me “ painfully beautiful written line
Now 86 and he’s still the biggest selling solo artist of all time

I said that every day!
Austin Butler deserves an Oscar
" Going to be 40 soon and nobody is going to remember me"...If only he knew.
Always my thought. Toward the end he did not think he would be remembered, that's a fact. He has now been gone longer than he lived, and nobody can forget him!
Unchained Melody is going to be a massive hit from this movie
It already is and was a massive hit
I mean it's already... QUITE big. :D
This movie is a masterpiece. Straight up. I believed Austin Butler was Elvis. I believed Tom Hanks was the world's greatest snowman. The whole cast was perfect. But even more, I never paid much attention to Elvis growing up. This movie she'd a whole huge new light on who he was. It made me happy, it broke my heart...the man behind the legend really was that sweet, sensitive southern boy trying to make his way. I need to see this again because it's really that good!!!
Snowman?!?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Mom kept thinking that Austin Butler was Elvis, too, saying he did such a good job at it. And Mom was born in 1951, and she watched this movie twice in one week... Once was with me and Father watching, too.
Great film. A rare outstanding biopic
I think it is safe to say that Elvis Presley did indeed reach eternity! All these years later and his music is still played somewhere in the world every single day and people still speak of him and watch his movies! He is and always will be a true legend and icon! I cannot wait to see this film! Austin Butler looks and sounds incredible!
Making like a memory of my favorite music movies like bohemian rhapsody and Rocketman
For sure he did!

My dad was a huge Elvis fan and because of that I have the privilege of understanding how amazing of a talent he was. I’m 33. My dad lost his fight with ALS last year but he would’ve been so excited to see this movie and I’m so excited for him! This looks incredible.
I’m sorry for your loss 🙏🏽. I hope this movie lives up to what your father thought of Elvis 💯
I’m sure your dad will be watching this movie in heaven with Elvis himself!
Sorry about your loss I’m 33 too and I don’t want to imagine losing my father yet. Much respect to you and your father.
I thought of my grandma when I saw this trailer. She was from Memphis so was always a huge Elvis fan, so as someone in my mid-thirties as well, I am too. I wish she could go see this with me, but I'll go and see it for the both of us :)
May they rest in peice.
I'm a black guy myself and I love Elvis songs, I love how he was with the sweet inspirations and how he treated them, lets give this guy the credit for what he did.
I love how he combined like white ppls music and black ppls music into one and really United everyone through his music. Can't wait
@@lacygray524 that's every black only church we've ever been to. The love is there. 🥰

Elvis grew up in the black culture, he lived in the black area, the black neighborhoods of Tupelo on ol’ Saltillo road.
The home that Vernon built, they briefly lived in and it certainly didn’t look like the way the home is presented today. The Presley family was dirt poor. Gladys had also worked in the fields with her young son who was exposed to the soulful singing in those fields.
Elvis & the Presley family was regarded as being ‘from the other side of the tracks!’
The white conservatives did not like Elvis. They were against everything about Elvis, from his long hair and sideburns to his loud clothes, his gyrations onstage that they thought were sexual and especially hated his music. They blamed Elvis for juvenile delinquency. They called him despicable names from the devil to the ‘n’ word lover! Elvis’ father, Vernon had also done time in prison when Elvis was a child & their home was foreclosed, so to the ‘white Christian’ conservatives and other religious groups, Elvis was not liked at all!
A judge in Florida banned Elvis from moving onstage and the judge attended his concert while the police filmed him. Elvis only moved his pinky finger and the crowd went wild! Elvis and his parents did attend their Pentecostal church and was heavily influenced by the Gospel music. Elvis did attend black churches. Elvis had black friends as a child and had black friends as an adult. Gladys stomped danced, sang and played harmonica. Music was an integral part of their family, their life and Elvis truly loved being in the black churches because music to him was his life! Elvis even said so later in life! Elvis loved R&B music, country and Gospel which is what rock n roll was formed from. Listen to Elvis in the recording studio, between songs he’s to record, you’ll hear Elvis belt out some of the best rhythm and blues. He loved playing bass guitar too. Now, with all the negative stuff and criticism Elvis went thru, and also attended the WDIA benefit in Memphis with black friends (‘56 & ‘57) who were singers, and then breaking racial segregation laws by attending ‘colored night’ at the Memphis fairgrounds, where he was photographed winning at games and giving the prizes to the children (the black kids) Well soon enough, the only child, the only son to carry on the family name who was also the bread winner for the family was drafted! The military branches had lots on who was going to ‘win’ Elvis. This was during the time that Elvis Presley was regarded as a national threat to the United States! (Yes, this is true!)
It was a big deal to shave Elvis Presley’s head!
This was Elvis Presley’s time of stardom! The government thought otherwise. They could control Elvis plus use his stardom to advertise the military and they did just that! Elvis could have fought being drafted but it would look worse for his character, his career. Elvis served humbly and refused any special treatment or lighter duty. They wanted him to be in the entertainment section to entertain the troops but he served as any other soldier. Now, with all that, Gladys, who we all know worried about her son when he was on tour singing & hated when the fans tore his clothes off, scratched him awfully etc. Gladys couldn’t be with her son, or talk to him during basic training and that was hard on her. When Elvis was at Ft. Hood, Texas, after basic training, his parents visited him at Eddie Fadal’s home. There are home videos of Elvis & Anita & wonderful home recordings of Elvis & Anita singing.
The toll though on Gladys was severe and Elvis told his parents to go back to Memphis & for his Mama to see her doctor. Well, soon enough, an ambulance took Gladys from Graceland to Methodist Hospital where she was admitted and was in grave condition. Elvis requested many times to see his Mother but the Army refused his requests. Elvis was upset and threatened to go AWOL if he couldn’t see her, so the Army finally allowed him to see his Mother. Elvis and Lamar quickly flew to Memphis where Elvis visited his Mama all day long. Vernon told Elvis to go home and get some rest. Elvis went back home to Graceland while Vernon stayed at Gladys’ bedside when she died on August 14, 1958 at age 46.
Elvis was devastated and in my opinion, he knew that it was him being in the Army, soon to be stationed in Germany that truly tore apart his Mama.
Later on, in 1970, while onstage, Elvis said he was drafted and he was shafted.
In my opinion, Elvis never forgave the way his Mama died. Had Elvis never been drafted, perhaps Gladys would have lived longer.
Only Elvis knew why he said that and we will never know what was really deep down in his heart. It’s been said that Elvis was never the same after his Mother’s death but I think it’s more than that, I think it was about why she died. Gladys died mostly of a broken heart...

What does being black have to do with anything?
@@galaxyshark8994 you mean he stole music from black people?
I've known Austin ever since he played in The Carrie Diaries and seeing that he took such a very challenging role (I've been an avid Elvis fan ever since I was born, I come from 3 generations of fans) i was absolutely amazed by his performance even from the trailer. I've already seen the movie 2 times now and I can only say that I cannot imagine anyone to ever portray Elvis to the core as earnest, passionate and on point as Austin. He got all of Elvis's mannerisms on point, he had 2 years to study him, and god knows he did it to the very little detail. I'm so proud of the fact that he won the Golden Globes, I'm waiting for the Academy to make their announcement, because oh lord, there's so so so much talent that Austin can bring to the table, and working on a character so difficult and nailing it is his passport to so many achievements in the Hollywood industry.
I'm so happy that Lisa Marie got to see this movie and watch her father in this way... In a way she was holding out to make sure his legacy was handled correctly and it was and she left to handle her broken heart...
“Elvis had an influence on everybody with his musical approach. He broke the ice for all of us.” - The Great Al Green
You know who broke the ice for Elvis? Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
Yep, his white skin allow him to take the culture of black Americans to the mainstream.
@@mr12aT Yes you are right. There is no need to feel bitter about this. Elvis TOOK THE RISK to do that. If he had not, the music business would have foundered for years longer. No value in tat. When Elvis put his touch on black music, the walls of racism and $$ inequality changed for the better. Black musicians could walkthrough the FRONT DOOR, they could PLAY and they can MAKE MORE MONEY. There is NO SHAME in this. As a fellow musician and lover of art, THANK YOU.
@@depper wait… who’s bitter?
‘Elvis took a risk in so that he could pursue is dream of being a famous musician’. My dude, that is not risky, like at all. Lol.
It’s also not a risk because white people have always wanted be black; be black not in the colour of their skin (obviously), but more in the sense of culture. Why? Maybe because white people don’t actually have a fun culture, if a culture at all, and white people have been envious of black culture, probably since day 1.
@@mr12aT But maybe because Elvis was on a different level. There's nobody Black or White, that could sing Rock And Roll,Country,Gospel,Pop, R&B each style as good as anyone, and all together forget it.
This looks amazing, I think a lot of people have forgotten just how big of a deal, and a revolutionary in the music industry that Elvis was.
Not me. I have studied him for 20 years.
Same here, he is my idol. He died just months before I was born, my mother used to listen to him all the time
Finally got to see Graceland for the first time last April and it was amazing
He didn’t change the music industry, he was just famous. That’s it.
@@chrisburbanksr3177 That sounds amazing
Just watched this on HBO. Absolutely fantastic film. Laughed, cried, and was hugely entertained. Baz & Austin have presented Elvis as the complicated human being and incredible talent we knew he was. I love this movie so much.
Never was a fan of Elvis, just didn’t really care. Watched the movie yesterday. It’s a must watch in the cinemas, it’s just different.
That was one of the things I really loved about it - that it presented Elvis as a complete person. So many - if not all - of the other Elvis movies I've seen in the past, he's always portrayed in a very one dimesional, cardboard cutout, way.
It was such a beautiful movie. Love the creative camerawork, Austin Butler is amazing, the whole movie is just so beautifully-crafted, and emotional.
My only one issue is that Tom Hanks playing the Colonel ruins that whole suspension-of-disbelief thing. You can't get totally lost in the movie because your brain is like 'look it's Tom Hanks'. Part of the reason you can believe that Austin Butler is Elivs is that Austin is not uber-famous. Tom Hanks is, and that actually often ruins movies he is in because it's like 'oh there's Tom Hanks'....
...same with any super-famous actor. And Tom hanks is the only super famous person in this movie, so he stands out like a sore thumb. If it had been someone less well known, it would have been so so so much better. On top of that, the accent he's doing is weird. I assumed the Colonol actually talked like that, but when I listened to his actual voice, I did not hear that.
@@Julia-nl3gq I know what you mean. Tom's performance was fine but there were points where it was Tom in makeup (the prosthetics were excellent) but like you said it was still Tom Hanks, which must be terrible for him as an actor. He's been able to do so many different roles. I guess when Spencer Tracy or Fred Astaire were great it was always a Tracy or Astaire film -- weird Merle Streep can morph into different characters. Thanks for bringing that up, Julia🌼
Just proves that gullible woke suckers are easily entertained by a lame outrageously ridiculous make believe fairytale dramas like this bogus biographical epic. An androgynous Elvis? Seriously?
Garbage movie
The trailer alone already deserves an Oscar, what more the movie itself. I hope that this film gets nominated and wins Best Picture, Best Director and most especially Best Actor.
Austin Butler is killing it! Won't be surprised if he got nominated for or won an Oscar for his brilliant performance!
So you’ve already seen this “brilliant performance” in a movie that isn’t out for 5 months.
It's releasing in June, which isn't a great sign that they're hopeful.
@@AdamSnape woah! Ladies and gentlemen we have a box office insider over here
@@connorstory6978 Learn a thing or two about statistics, then come back to me.
Bro the movie isn't out yet don't jump the gun
This movie was so good!!! Austin Butler seamlessly blended into Elvis the further I got into the film. He killed it as did Tom Hanks
Yes!!!
Man it was so good. I get emotional every time I think about it
Hanks is all washed up - his performance was an embarrassment
@@BlookbugIV Based on the trailers I thought he’d be pretty bad but he actually did a great job. And the guy he plays was a washed up old man lmfao
@@wake9513 a good performance should seem effortless, kindled with a spark of authenticity. Putting on a fat suit and coming on with the ludicrous accent while playing scenes that scream *ACTING* - that kinda stuff is only fit for SNL sketches. I suppose he’s going back to his roots in a way.
One of the greatest movies and perfomence's of all time
Thank you Baz Lurhman and Austin Butler rise and Shine
,,The greatest show on Earth "
Austin deserves an Oscar for this movie. It was awesome.
He was robbed at the oscars this year, how dare the academy
Man I watched this trailer like 10 times now.
I see Oscar nominations for him!!
I think Elvis would be so surprised with how much he is remembered and how his popularity probably increased after his death
Austin was amazing!!!
I have read reaction comments on this trailer of people saying he doesn't look like Elvis... There's nobody in this whole world that can look identical to Elvis but I think this guy Austin Butler did a damn good job.. I cannot wait to this movie comes out I am there with bells on.. so excited..
Facts.
It’s like they expect him to be his identical twin. People are never happy💀
Just like how Michael Fassbender doesn’t look like Steve Jobs. The acting matters more than the appearance
Isaac Carew is damn near identical to Elvis.
@@alieaston6474 He could play him too but Austin Butler has a MUCH better voice for the role and is a better actor
"I'm going to be 40 soon. And no one is going to remember me." That killed me.
Best movie ever the movie was crazy and very cool
You know how there are some movies that is not the same when watching it at home like it NEEDS to be seen at the theater? This is the movie
@@AriannaWhitacreyesssss!!. This movie was absolutely amazing in theaters!!
Rest in Peace Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley 🙏👼
My grandfather and Elvis used to drive to school together. He likes to talk about him. I’m excited to see this.
Awesome story my friend 👍
@@Nen600 really? you’re really going to believe that? are you serious right now? Didn’t your momma teach you not to believe everything you read online?
@@dragonfruit8830 nope, but just imagine it could be true 😉
As a lifelong Elvis fan and a man who inspired my life, career and the way I treat others.. finally Elvis has gone VIRAL again ⚡️
Do you know which song plays in the first few seconds?
@@kunaalpramod2965 Suspicious Minds.
@Chandra Ciptaa NO SPAM ON AN ELVIS MOVIE
Elvis was a big "AGE IS JUST A NUMBER" guy
This gonna be political with MLK lmao
Can't stop watching this trailer and the film. Almost two years obssesed with Elvis and with Austin.
BEST film of the year! Watched it alot of times and Im still watching it and this trailer. Perfection.
I'm 35 years old and my parents are big fans so I was brought up listening and watching elvis and I still listen to The King of rock n roll because he's the greatest of all time.
Best movie of the year?
@@carlasilva8098 definitely! Nothing comes close.
@@dannyniland2927 LMAO. How many fingers in your hand? I can name at least 5 movies better than Elvis in 2022: Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Banshees of Inisherin, The Fabelmans, TÁR, Top Gun: Maverick.
@@kingofpopbts2080 really?? Not even close. Sorry 😊
@@kingofpopbts2080 yeah as if i am going to take a guy named
king of pop BTS seriously
I’m in tears. As soon as Elvis’ unchained melody plays the tears start to come. This looks amazing!
Haley, I got tears also flowing just waching all of everything here with this trailer. So many memories just seeing and waching Elvis again. Many ask, when is it going to end all of this with Elvis...........................NEVER ! TCB.
Agreed 🥺😭
Same! Wooooooeeee
It's crazy this dude that was famous since the 50's has still videos that have millions of views. This dude is a legend.
This movie is with me. Watched in on HBO twice in the same day. What a performance and what a story! ❤️🔥
Same here, how long have you been listening to Elvis songs?
I’m 22 and Elvis has always been there since I remember. He’s always been mentioned and his songs have always been played, I never really took notice of him until this movie came out. It’s ironic when he said ‘I’m going to be 40 soon and no one will remember me’. Well Sir, you are still remembered to this day.
This film certainly turned me into an Elvis fan and I know it’s turned a lot of other people into Elvis fans. It’s like Austin recreated Elvis and brought him back to life. Thank you for keeping his legacy alive 😊
Elvis never had MTV. He never had the internet or SOCIAL MEDIA to promote himself. Elvis didn't even have DIGITAL MUSIC studios or digital media. Yet he became the greatest selling music artist in recorded history. No modern promotion, no AUTOTUNE, no digital apps that can make anyone sound good after digital editing. ELVIS was a RAW NATURAL super talent of the likes never seen before or after him. Rest in Power EP.
I’m going to go out on a limb and disagree with you and say ELVIS had a TON of promotion, he was promoted on radio airwaves all across America as well as upcoming concert posters, fan magazines newspapers local & national, The Associated press, talk show performances & appearances, jukeboxes all across the country, vinyl records, 8- track tapes, cassette tapes, reel-to-real tapes, motion pictures, VHS tapes & Laserdisc, all of these things promoted & were a huge part of the King’s career.
I will agree with you that ELVIS, like any artist who came along during that period in history had no access to AUTOTUNE why? because it wasn’t invented yet so naturally they relied on their regular voices when they recorded songs.
@@djd.a.v.e.4836 Radio promotion was limited to the few black DJs that would play him down south. Elvis was facing backlash right from the beginning from many white middle aged and older adults who did not want Elvis or rock music played on the radio because they felt it would boost juvenile delinquency and because they thought Elvis sounded too "black" to their ears. Then you had the dancing which they correlated to black performers of the day.Elvis would get death threats, and cops would threaten to arrest him and sometimes did. There were protests. Elvis fought a very uphill battle and was NOT getting airtime on the radio or benefiting from much print advertising. In fact -- White community groups, school groups, and even gangs would go around to any restaurant or bar to get the owners to remove Elvis' music from them. It would be shows like the Louisiana Heyride, emerging tv shows, and eventually Hollywood that would finally help Elvis break though. Elvis didnt get big time advertising until later in his career, and by then he earned it.
@@depper some of what you said seems to be in the trailer.
Well maybe if he used autotune his music wouldn’t be dogshit
@@depper He sounded too black because he took his performance/style away from Black artists.
“I wasn’t just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him … I love him and hope to see him in heaven. There’ll never be another like that soul brother”. --- James Brown ----- During Elvis' wake, James was the last to leave, and was so distraught they needed multiple people to help him out of the room.
It's a matter of fact, James was the only person, besides family, who was allowed to be alone with Elvis. He spent an hour and a half besides the coffin..
@@See-what-is ~ Ann-Margret was also alone at the wake with Elvis in the casket for several hours.
🌹
And Larry Gellar was the last to touch him before the casket was sealed closed.
Lisa Marie & the funeral director put her bracelet on his wrist & Priscilla said to make sure it’s covered by his outfit so no one has the urge to perhaps take it.
🌹
Many celebrities wanted to attend, however, due to the amount of fans outside Graceland, they were told not to come & it was media frenzy. Some celebrities still came, like Ann-Margret & Roger Smith, George Hamilton, James Brown, Chet Akins, Sammy Davis Jr. & Carolyn Kennedy.
🌹
Elvis’ cousin, Bobby Mann (Elvis had fired him many years before) took the photograph for $18,000 of Elvis in the casket for the National Enquirer. (September 6, 1977 National Enquirer sold 6.5 million copies of that issue. At a 1000% profit. It is still the most famous cover picture ever)
🌹
And the huge crowd (hundreds of thousands) of fans waited outside of Graceland in the extreme hot Memphis weather (many passed out from the heat & from the heartbreaking emotional turmoil of his death) also to try to pay their respects to Elvis lying in state.
Flowers were sold out throughout states because of the orders sent to Elvis Presley’s funeral.
Elvis Presley’s funeral was considered that of a State Funeral.
🌹
Richard Nixon asked Americans fly their flags at half-mast.
Tupelo Mayor declared August 16th an official day of mourning.
🌹
RCA sold over 400 million Elvis Presley records to distraught fans.
🌹
Part of President Jimmy Carter’s message to the nation was;
“With Elvis Presley a part of our country died as well.”
(Elvis & President Jimmy Carter were sixth cousins)
Others said the American Dream died with Elvis.

@@melvis1 I didn't know that Ann Marget was alone with Elvis. I looked it up and James Burton revealed this fact a couple of years ago. Larry Geller was the last person who saw Elvis before they closed the gasket
@@See-what-is Ann was indeed given time a very long time, (hours) alone with Elvis during the wake at Graceland. ~ Elvis & Ann remained very close friends until his death. Elvis liked & respected her husband Roger also, but the two visited each other’s shows, he always sent her flowers at her opening show & he even told Lamar to put the stage light on Ann (she was in the audience) as he sang to her from the stage. They had a deep love & respect for each other. Larry not only was the last to see Elvis but he also touched him before the casket was finally closed. ~
I remember this heartbreaking day. I was told to sit down & I knew something terrible happened. I refused to sit down since I knew it was bad news & then those heartbreaking words were told to me, Elvis died.
No one could fathom including me, that Elvis had died. Fans were passed out all across the Graceland lawn inside the gates, it looked like a war zone. Before he was well known, even comedian Bill Murray was in the mass amount of fans outside the wall at Graceland.
The WORLD was literally in SHOCK. I know I was. ~
Fans were climbing over the wall on the side of Graceland & were met with a line of police officers telling them to go back. The sheer amount of heartbreaking shock was indeed overwhelming.
No other human being has had this effect on the world like Elvis Presley.
Elvis loved the world with his humble sweet spirit. He was like family. His generosity was pure love from his heart.
Elvis loved to give to make others happy & he loved to sing & he sang to make us happy. This is what made Elvis happy, giving of himself to others.
Elvis truly was a Gift from God.
And people have their own special loving relationship with Elvis, even though most never seen or met him.

@@melvis1 Elvis was a great enjoyable guy with a lot of guts. Nobody had ever been an "Elvis" and we are still waiting for the next one if he will ever come. I don't think so.
It must have been awesome to be in his presence and to look him in the eye. Elvis was loving and caring but he had his shadow sides as well just as any other human being.
Magnetism and charisma are elusive phenomena but Elvis had it in abundance. That's what stands out the most in my opinion, together with his unmeasurable importance in the history of populair music.
This movie is on the list for an academy award 2023 ❤️
That's very true, how long have you been listening to Elvis songs?
It's about time we had a big budget epic Elvis film. Congratulations to Baz Luhrmann for directing an exceptional movie. The camera angles and movement throughout give the film a dynamic breathtaking feel about it.
Austin Butler as Elvis puts in an incredible performance. His voice, his look, his presence is a very convincing Elvis.
For me, Tom Hanks steals the movie as Elvis's slimy and flawed manager Colonel Tom Parker. He puts in another exceptional performance demonstrating traits where his character is quirky, selfish and often very humorous. Its another performance that deserved an oscar. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest actors of all time.
UNMISSABLE.
The musical movies are getting better and better
I wasn’t excited for this movie but this looks absolutely incredible
