The story, as we all know, does not have a happy ending. There was two sides to Colonel, Jerry and I witnessed both. He was extremely nervous playing this part. Halfway through the film Jerry and I looked at each other and said WOW!!! Bravo to him…he knew he had big shoes to fill.
Austin Butler, who played Elvis is outstanding. It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. This story is about Elvis and Colonel Parker’s relationship. “For those curious about the new film ELVIS, Baz Luhrmann, the director, provided a private screening for me and Jerry Schilling at Warner studios recently.

Elvis’ ex-wife Priscilla Presley recently watched the movie and she had nothing but praise for Butler. I wondered if they actually saw Elvis in Butler, and now we know. The director was waiting for the right actor to come along to play The King, and Butler is it.Īs I was watching the footage from the film, I wondered what those who knew Elvis best thought of it. He is absolutely perfect for the role and it wasn’t until he came along that Luhrman finally decided to pull the trigger on making this movie that he had been developing for years. Director Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming film Elvis looks like an incredible movie! I recently got to see about 10 minutes of the film at CinemaCon and was completely blown away by Austin Butler’s performance as Elvis.
