Austin Butler’s Elvis Presley becomes a god in the new Elvis biopic trailer.
The trailer opens with a contextualization from a voiceover — “Our country itself is sick, and it’s lost its sense of direction – even its common decency” — about the reaction to Presley and his dance moves.
Butler as Presley is then seen wiggling his pinky as the camera pans to Tom Hanks’ character Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager. “In that moment Elvis the man was sacrificed and Elvis the God was born.” Trouble” — laces clips of Presley performing before a scene sees the King of Rock & Roll being taken away in a police car.
The trailer gives a look at the rise of Presley’s career and the conflicts he faced throughout his life, especially the impact of his mother Gladys. Oh, and how to forget the Priscilla + Elvis love story? “I’ve never met anyone like you,” says Presley. “I hope not,” she responds. The trailer ends with a clip of Presley saying, “A reverend once told me, ‘When things are too dangerous to say… sing.’ “
