The first trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film, EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert, premiered on Tuesday (December 9). The movie will offer rare, long-lost footage from Elvis’s legendary 1969 Las Vegas residency, along with archival 16mm and 8mm film from Elvis on Tour and Graceland, synced with restored audio including a 45-minute recording of Presley reflecting on his life. Luhrmann says of the project: “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.” The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, and will have advanced screenings at Graceland on January 8, before releasing exclusively in IMAX on February 20 and widely on February 27. This project follows Luhrmann’s critically acclaimed 2022 Elvis biopic starring Austin Butler, which garnered eight Oscar nominations and grossed over $288 million worldwide. (NME)
