The film itself utilized restored footage discovered in the Warner Bros. archives. Luhrmann’s team unearthed 68 boxes of 35mm and 8mm film in salt mines in Kansas, which lacked accompanying sound. The team then meticulously restored the footage and synchronized it with existing audio recordings.

Luhrmann described the project as aiming to create something new within the Elvis Presley canon,intending to offer both a spectacle befitting Presley’s performance legacy and a deeper exploration of his personal life.

Starring Austin Butler as Elvis Presley and Tom Hanks as his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis was a notable critical and commercial success, earning over $288 million worldwide and receiving eight Academy Award nominations. Luhrmann has also confirmed plans to develop a stage adaptation of the film.

NME awarded the film a four-star review, praising it as “a big-screen epic we can’t help falling in love with.” The review highlighted Presley’s dedication to his fans and lamented the perhaps detrimental influence of Colonel Parker on his career.
