Elvis Presley remains one the most popular rock and roll performers since the inception of rock and roll – his music dominated the pop music landscape in the 1950’s and he remained a rock & roll icon through his unfortunate death in 1977.  His life has been dissected, discussed, and of course has been portrayed in several movies going back decades.  

Acclaimed Australian filmmaker Buz Luhrmann (Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge) directs this latest version, an epic biopic about the rise and fall of the man known to many as “The King” who is played by up-and-coming young actor Austin Butler.  Tom Hanks also co-stars as “Colonel” Tom Parker who would become Elvis manager throughout most of his career.  And what results is 160 minutes of high energy insanity featuring tons of memorable music – Elvis has ENTERED the building!
