What is Elvis Presley's 'EPiC' about?
View this post on InstagramIn May 2025, Baz Luhrmann revealed on Instagram that the idea for the project came to him while he was directing the feature film Elvis. He explained that the project, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, sparked a desire to explore Presley’s world even further.
"During the making of Elvis, we went on a search for rumored unseen footage from the iconic 1970s concert films Elvis: That’s The Way It Is and Elvis on Tour. My initial thought was that we may be able to restore the unused footage (if we could find it) and use it in our Elvis feature, starring Austin Butler," he explained.
"I had researchers go into the Warner Bros. film vaults buried in underground salt mines and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 68 boxes of film negative, as well as unseen 8mm footage. It has taken two years to restore the footage to a quality that it has never been projected at previously." Luhrmann added that one of his "great finds" was "unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and his music."
The Commercial Appeal reports Elvis grossed close to $290 million worldwide. The film earned eight Academy Award nominations.
