A new image from Baz Luhrmann's upcoming Elvis biopic offers an exciting glimpse at Austin Butler's uncanny portrayal of the iconic rock-n-roll star.
An exclusive image from Baz Luhrmann's upcoming biopic Elvis offers an exciting new glimpse at the film's titular character. Luhrmann's hotly anticipated project will officially hit screens next month and will see Austin Butler take on the role of rock-n-roll superstar, Elvis Presley.
Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner have teamed up with Luhrmann to write the biopic, which is set to have its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival later this month, before its theatrical release on June 24. Many of the details surrounding Elvis have been somewhat shrouded in mystery since the film first began production back in 2020, with this likely to continue until its official debut.
In the accompanying interview, Butler discussed how he felt personally connected to the role, as both he and Presley sadly lost their mothers when they were just 23-years-old. The actor went on to share how this ultimately played a part in him securing the role of Elvis, as his audition saw him sing one of Presley's hits"Unchained Melody," revealing that he was singing it for his mother.
If this new Elvis image, as well as previous teasers for the film, are anything to go by, Butler's portrayal of this beloved icon could certainly be one for the history books. While his physical appearance is certainly uncanny, from what's been teased so far, Butler also appears to have put a lot of time and effort into emulating Presley's iconic moves and mannerisms.
