Tom Hanks & Austin Butler costar in the movie about the life and times of Elvis

From YouTube/WarnerBros:

The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley, seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley.

Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann made it clear that the film features Butler’s voice singing as young Elvis and a blend of Butler and tapes of Presley for middle age Elvis.

The movie is set to release in theaters in North America on June 24, 2022.
