Elvis (12A) USA, 2hr 39min Director: Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, The Great Gatsby) Stars: Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kodi Smit-McPhee Starring Austin Butler as Elvis Presley, you’re invited to witness the upbringing, influences and rise to fame of ‘The King’ of rock ‘n’ roll. Baz Luhrmann’s outlandish visual style is the perfect match for the outlandish performative nature of Elvis and his tumultuous relationship with his agent Colonel Tom Parker.

“Sure, Butler has the looks, the voice, the stance and the wiggle nailed down, but what’s truly impressive is that indescribable, undistillable essence of Elvis-ness.”
