Presley's fans responded to the Instagram post by sharing their own commentary about the exciting new poster. Many were thrilled by the idea of a new movie that captured the King’s legendary stage presence.
"Thank you again Baz, for another great Elvis movie!" wrote one follower. "Elvis is still so influential and interesting, his legacy is bigger than life," penned a second. "Can't wait for this!" exclaimed a third Instagram user.
A fourth comment was posted by the Westgate Las Vegas, formerly the International Hotel, where Presley held a seven-year residency from 1969 through 1976. "A legend revisited. Proud to be the place where Elvis called Las Vegas home," it read.
In the film's official trailer, Presley is heard speaking about how he is portrayed in the press. He explains, "There’s been a lot written and a lot said, but never from my side of the story.”
The trailer teases, “In 1969, Elvis returned to the stage to begin a legendary residency in Las Vegas. For 40 years, there have been rumors of lost footage.”
It concludes, “During the production of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, it was found. This is more than a documentary. This is more than a concert film. This is Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC."
The filmmaker told Deadline that he wouldn't call EPiC either a "documentary or a concert film. Our aim here is to make something new in the Elvis canon.”
"We were astonished by the sheer volume of unused footage from Elvis: That’s the Way It Is, the film of Elvis’s legendary 1970 Summer Festival in Las Vegas, all shot on anamorphic 35mm, and also from Elvis’s road concert film from two years later, Elvis on Tour." These films serve as the basis for the documentary.
PiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT will be released in IMAX on Feb. 20 and in theaters on Feb. 27.
