this really shows Austin’s hard work. cant wait to see this, I booked tickets to see it for the day it comes out 🥳
I ‘M P R O U D O F Y O U !!!
I hope you love it Alana. I can't wait to see it soon and hopefully on opening day as I think it's going to be amazing.
This movie was EPIC --- lost in Austin's portrayal --- literally felt like we were watching Elvis himself especially in the later scenes. Also loved how they merged Austin's elvis with real elvis at the very end. Spotless!
AMEN. You really felt he was Elvis.
I’m a HUGE Elvis fan and I was extremely nervous to see the movie- I put it off for several days- it took us driving to three different theaters here in Vegas to find one that wasn’t sold out! Needless to say, whatever they got factually incorrect in the movie just melted away with Austin’s performance - dear Lord that boy had the power of E! I was absolutely blown away! I was a HARD SALE and he sold me 100% and then some! There had better be an Oscar for him! His mom was amazing as well- And I also liked the way Elvis is portrayed- he was a hero and we need one now- thank you for reviving him appropriately 🙏 The movie is visually stunning 🤩 and fades from one era to the next creatively and seamlessly- just such an amazing and spectacular tribute to the King!
I don’t understand people that say Austin doesn’t look like Elvis. He literally got Elvis’s hair, eyes, lips, gaze, deep voice, mannerism, and vibe. With the make-up and black hair, he does look quite like Elvis. Acting is about embodying a person & capturing their essence & spirit. It’s not always just about “looking” like that person on the surface. At the end of the of the day, an actor is still an artist & a different person, they can’t just morph & turn their face into a completely a different person.
He, like many, can remind you of Elvis, but he doesn't look like him. Elvis' smile was a huge little boy smile that as they say, lit up a room. He was also much more mature looking in his face even at 21 than Austin is at 30. Even more Austin looks way younger than a 33 year old Elvis on the 68 special
He doesn't look like Elvis, but his performance can make you think that Austin IS Elvis and makes you forgot the real Elvis' look
Unbelievable how hard he worked and became immersed in the part. At one interview he said “ I marinated in everything Elvis “. Now, that’s dedication! 🎸🎸🕺🏻🕺🏻🎤🎤🍿🍿❤️
Apparently he didn't see his family for two years because he was so busy preparing for this role. I hope Butler receives a ton of praise for his performance since he takes his job so seriously.
I would be stunned if he isn't at least nominated for an Oscar.
Give me a break. He doesn’t even look like him
@@stevescontriano860 it doesn't matter. All that matters is his performance
@@OAKLAND-dt8nx Agreed same with the one who played Freddie mercury
He'll win the Oscar
Elvis fans are canning the movie.
I went to one of his first concerts in the ‘50’s. Hound Dog, Love me Tender!! The girls were screaming - prehistoric sound and visual, but the place was packed and it was great! He was THE BEST of all time. Glad the kids today will get a chance to absorb his fantastic talent.
What a awesome story vicki!
Just came home from watching it. Austin Butler deserves that Oscar! Mind blowingly good!
This movie can't get here quick enough already got my ticket! Elvis ROCKS!! Austin Butler you are the man!
1:43 oh man, what a similarity! The smile is like The King himself!
1:16 I have to say, here I can see Elvis easily, by Austin's characterization and expression.
Yes I agree him playing elvis is legendary
@@jalenbrewster6777 Yes!! :D
Exactly the moment that convinced me aswell.
@@marcelwegner6122 Nice! :D
GOLD STAR MOVIE!! This is best movie I ever see in a very very long time!! WOW!! This movie will answer ever question you have about Elvis!!! It will knock your socks off!! It even had me crying
Same here.
I went to watch the movie last Sat and it was frecking amazing. I was left with that empty feeling at the end like this wasn't enough. I wanna watch it again probably go in again this Sat.
Literally same! I watched it yesterday and I want moreeee
Man I hope they made a documentary on the journey of making this film and Austin’s hard work!♥️🙏🏻✨
Baz Luhrmann has said it will be several years before he puts out a directors cut. He said it could have been a 6 hour movie!
Austin was Amazing doing Elvis it brought all the memories back when my husband and I lived in the era. It made me tingle it was brilliant. X
I’m super excited to see him in this I can tell he’s so into the part
As a huge Elvis fan I really appreciate the respect and work that Austin poured into this project. Even if historically some things weren’t true or the truth was altered , just knowing that Austin really cared about this makes me support this film. I’m sure Elvis would love ❤️ it too.
Just saw the movie- I’m a huge fan too- so I was really nervous and what ever they didn’t get right factually in the movie just melted away with Austin’s performance- dear lord that boy had the power of E!
Just curious - I don’t know much about Elvis..what parts weren’t true?
@@StarrySoakedSky first off it wasn’t not true but rather truth altered and some parts of his life just brushed over. I get you can’t make one movie on Elvis’s entire life. The film would be 10 hours long.
1.Elvis first house in Memphis wasn’t Graceland. He bought Graceland since he no privacy at his first house at Audubon Drive. It was a west Memphis suburb.
2. The Russwood park concert in Memphis in 1956 Elvis was not arrested. This was created into the film but he did a concert in Jacksonville Florida in 1956 where he was told to not do much wiggle a finger. There was somewhere in 56 as well where he was taken away into a police car to escape a frenzy riot.
3. The 68 comeback special wasn’t done behind colonel Parker’s back as portrayed. The colonel wanted it to be a Christmas special but Elvis along with Steve Binder convinced him it would be better to do the special their way. There were no two sets and production being hidden. That’s a farce. However the colonel made Elvis promise to sing at least one Christmas song. He sang one in the informal sit down with the original band.
4. Lastly Elvis didn’t fire Colonel Parker as portrayed. Many close to Elvis said he did fire him in 1973 for a day over An employee that was fired at the International. Elvis went on stage the next night and told the audience of the situation and asked the international hotel to do better and give the employee his job back. The colonel then told Elvis that he needed to take back what he said and Elvis fired him. Many books I have read by Elvis confidants over the years mostly agree that yes The colonel asked Vernon for back money they didn’t have and Elvis took the colonel back. Elvis was known to fire many people around him when he was mad and upset but never really serious about it changing his mind usually the next day.
Went to see elvis yesterday OMG .My heart was literally pounding out of my chest .Absolutely outstanding.Austin deserves a Oscar no doubt
I hope this young man is ACADEMY AWARD BOUND. Incredibly gifted actor & superb acting. Unbelievable!
It's a movie about Elvis man , that alone is reason enough to go see it.
Yeah. Justin Bieber definitely owes the king some props
Justin Bieber. What a joke 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Elvis also influenced and revolutionized the way of performing and then he also had sensual movements. John Lennon said "Without Elvis there would have been no Beatles" Elvis is the forerunner. The principle was Elvis 🔝👑
John Lennon also said “Before Elvis, there was nothing.”
@@kevinsaint20 John Lennon ALSO said "Without Elvis there would have been no Beatles"
@@egonenedit9444 ummm…. You already said that….
@@kevinsaint20 yes said John Lennon
@@egonenedit9444 what was the purpose of repeating yourself on something you already said in your original comment? I gave another thing John Lennon said about Elvis and then you repeat the same thing you already said and put emphasis on “also” like I disagreed with it. Strange.
Just saw this movie on Friday!! it was amazing. I 10/10 highly recommended to go see it. Wonderful job Austin butler and the director and other cast members!! Great job
Surreal, he WAS ELVIS.
All the best to you, Austin, in playing this iconic figure!
I have been to see the film Elvis the king of rock and roll and the Man who played Elvis is a great man ',,,,
Absolutely enjoyed the movie. Cried my eyes out. Great performances 👏
Everyone will now see how great Elvis was
@@franksanz1044 some ppl does I know how great Elves was so did my mom and dad
Yes but does the younger generation know about Elvis
I think not ! They just see him as an object surely you must want them to see how he really made it
@@franksanz1044 people are belivers
The best performance ever!
I'm defiantly getting a ticket and I'm a really big fan of elvis presley
It cones down to respect...he did his thing...amazing in every way ♥️
Austin. You are so genuine & sincere about ELVIS. BRAVO
He did an amazing job outstanding
Wow just wow
Elvis' earlier 1950's dress sense marks him as a true style icon. And it feels particularly relevant today - Cuban collar shirts, wide-legged, pleated trousers, blousons - these are all garments making the rounds on the menswear circuit, but they were also integral to Elvis’ 1950s style wardrobe. He did it all first.
Elvis designed his clothes too? wow what a guy!
He is a great actor!
I am so hyped for this movie
Heard there's another biopic movie yet to come about Elvis, called, Last Train To MEMPHIS. It will have to be very good to beat this one. Austin Butler is outstanding and could have a music career in his own right.
Estou contando os dias as horas e os segundos para assistir Elvis Presley meu eterno amor inesquecível , o vejo todos os dias no UA-cam
Can't wait to see it next week
For all the people focused on him not looking exactly like Elvis, in the movie he does so well portraying Elvis you forget that you’re even watching a movie.
I don’t know what the right words are, When I watch what he entered into, his voice was magical but for the time he was in the popular culture said unbelievable comments and the same from other famous blues artists when I see Elvis saying he can’t criticize any other artists “There’s room for all of us” what a gifted person he was not just in his voice but compassion to touch so many it’s still being felt in 2022😎 There is only one King and he said that too. Thank you God for letting us all lose ourselves in the gift of music That’s made for EVERYONE!….
👍 👍 GO GO ELVIS ❤ GO
Can't wait!
It's going to be greattttt
Superbo....😘😘😘❤❤❤👏👏👏👏
If you want the truth than this film is the ultimate truth telling story! I saw an early fan viewing last night. I cried!
Good work. A film made for a true king.
burger king!
You're right you can't take your eyes off Austin!!!!! 👍
once you start watching the movie, there is no "Austin" to be found, only Elvis
I went to this and i swear at first i wasn't seeing Elvis until the sixties Elvis come back part of movie there was a moment when i completely forgot it wasn't really Elvis .. the way it just came from imside of this actor i swear his face transformed at times in the film i thought they were putting subliminal quick shots in every now and then .
Vanessa Hudgens punching air rn
Lookin forward to it!🕺

We need a Danzig Bio pic next, for those that don’t know Glenn Danzig was known as Evil Elvis because of his striking vocal ( which was a mix of Jim Morrison, Roy Orbison and of course Elvis). Was an underground legend with bands like Misfits and Samhain but reached bigger fame with his solo album and the hit Mother.
Stunning and exact performance from Warren Butler. I know the Elvis performances very well and Warren has every move just perfect. Incredible.
I think autoINCORRECT has botched your post. It's reading Warren instead of Austin.
@@pattyrech4471 lol thanks for pointing that out. I won't correct it as that will make your reply seem out of place.
Good

Brilliant. NOBODY looks identical to Elvis Presley. God made ONLY 1. So casting for Elvis' part must have seemed nearly impossible. Any hiring of an Elvis imitator would have stigmatized the entire movie as a meme. Have enough of those floating around. But THIS HIRE... AUSTIN BUTLER ... is making a NEW GENERATION of Elvis fans. ... by the MILLIONS already. This was a VERY GOOD IDEA and the Elvis fanbase benefits greatly and Elvis' legacy marches on. WINNER.
That film has got Oscar written all over it. It will win 3 Oscars minimum and be nominated for dozens of awards all over the world. This real story will make millions of new young fans. Elvis was a YOUTH MOVEMENT more than anything. And that energy turned right into the civil rights movement and changed the world. Austin Butler will nab one of those Oscars for sure. This movie "Elvis" just made him the newest top shelf Superstar in the movie industry.
Sweet dreams god love you too
Wow
Peace wow love god love you wow

you praise drug users do you?
nice to know, thanks.
Ok fans, these interviews and the stars are what Hollywood was all about and it somehow got lost….now in a unique way it’s back….I was lucky to experience the Elvis world he created back in the 50’s ….black & white television appearances, buying his 45’s for 39 cents, going to see Love Me Tender in a movie palace, that’s right a movie palace in Washington Heights, New York….years later Elvis live in Madison Square Garden…fast forward 3 1/2 years ago I began writing my book, never knowing that this monumental movie was in the works…Of course I haven’t seen the movie yet, only the trailers but the new book Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar gives an accurate account of why Elvis deserves an Oscar for not only his 31 movies but for his unequaled contributions to the movie industry. On another note everyone who had the opportunity to see Elvis movies in the theaters when they were originally released always came away with a unique and gratifying movie experience. Elvis was not only a movie star but a great actor also. Austin Butler will absolutely win the Oscar for his performance in “Elvis”. This is the movie you must see, Elvis: The Quest for an Oscar is the book you must read, 536 pages with a great cover. It’s time Hollywood recognized Elvis for his contributions to the movie industry…when Austin Butler gets his Oscar next year and he will, Hollywood needs to right the ship and give one to Elvis. For those who say I’m wrong, for those who want to criticize these feelings, remember what you are witnessing is coming from the greatness that Elvis possessed……Elvis never really left the building, he is forever right there in our minds and hearts….as Ed Sullivan would say “tonight this is going to be a really really big show right here on our stage, Elvis……Presley………
I have always believed there was a unjust snobbery towards Elvis in Hollywood. How did you not hear about the movie before you did Baz announced it in 2014 ,obviously took a lot of work behind the scenes to get it up and running. I will definitely be seeing the Movie I hope Austin does get a Oscar for his performance. Personally I can't see them doing that for Elvis himself but it would be a great honour.
@@johanley229 Thanks for your reply, the reason I didn’t hear about it sooner was, I have no Facebook , Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media platforms. I focus on sports, namely football another thing me and Elvis were always passionate about. My book was written with the hope that his fans of the past and the new ones that will become ones due to the movie will start a movement to get the Academy aware of the total worth of Elvis’s contributions as I have already reintegrated. Last year they gave several Humanitarian Oscars and without a doubt Elvis is as deserving without question compared to the ones they have given in the last two or three decades. Once again thanks.
@@jimturiello8467 that's fair enough I can understand why you hadn't heard about it , don't get me wrong I would love nothing more than Elvis to receive one like I said I just think there's an unjust snobbery towards him especially when you look at joy those movies gave people and still do to be honest I love Elvis movies !!
@Jim Turiello: thank you for your nice words. you are 100% right.
uhm u need to live a better meaningful life than idolizing child groomers and pedophiles from Hollywood...
Oscar all day long…
I wonder if there are any of his movie career scenes in this movie. Like Viva Las Vegas with Ann Margret or other movies
I haven't seen any clue yet
IMO after all the interviews and trailers Baz spent very little time on his movie career . Except for a few good early movies, Elvis went down hill career wise especially in the mid to later 1960’s. Baz is concentrating on Presley achievements and importance in the Rock n Roll world.
@@MikeyJMJ No.

Tom Hanks is right .... it's impossible to take your eyes off Austin!!
Was there from his beginning, I saw Elvis and he was real. This movie won't do him justice!
♥️🇺🇾👑
Cilla told you what to do
Is Mckenna Grace playing Priscilla?
Olivia Dejonge is playing Priscilla not Mckenna Grace
Tom Hanks might be right. I know I can't take my eyes off Austin Butler while watching all these promo clips!
I need energy like that I feel lazy
Elvis started using drugs in the army back in 1957.
Check this out
In 1970 Elvis writes to President Nixon (the I am not a crook guy) and offers his services to help combat illicit drug use in the USA.
Elvis mentioned that he knew a lot about drugs and was accepted by the hippies.
He said he could go right into a group of young people or hippies and be accepted which he felt could be helpful to him in his drug drive.
Nixon and Elvis exchanged pleasantries and agreed that “those who use drugs are in the vanguard of American protest.”
In 1977 Elvis dies of drug overdose and drug abuse.
Putting Elvis in charge of speaking on narcotic abuse is like leaving Dracula in charge of the blood bank.
Hypocrisy: What is an example of hypocrisy?
People who tell you not to eat candy while they chomp away on candy all day.
don't sgree Elvis only ever used perscription drugs not street drugs niave i know but he thought that was ok because they were perscibed by a doctor like people who smoke and drink , drink coffee and say i 'm terrified of drugs makes us all guilty of hypocrisy
Austin Butler looks like a young Val Kilmer
Why were his post Priscilla serious relationships not included in this movie? He was divorced from Priscilla and had moved on with Linda Thompson first, then Ginger Alden, to whom he was engaged! It makes the movie historically inaccurate to omit these important details of his life!
Because in the end of the day, Priscilla was his true love. Do not get me wrong, Ginger is my second favorite after Priscilla, but I Elvis lived I am very sure that he and Priscilla would have gone back to each other. Ginger was a look a like and I am very sure that the deepest part of his heart was Priscillas only.
@@erikalulea3608 With all due respect that’s just speculative nonsense! I choose to believe facts, and fact is, Elvis was engaged to Ginger Alden, and even had her engagement ring custom made from a diamond out of his own ring. The ring being the evidence which corroborates this. I’m not against Priscilla, don’t get me wrong, I get that she is the person who probably knew Elvis the best and she quite rightly should be at the forefront of anything relating to him. But that’s as far as it should go. They were divorced and Elvis was planning to marry someone else, so this fairytale concoction of an undying love between him and Priscilla is just that, a fairytale, it’s not based on any reality. Not including his relationship with Ginger (or Linda) in this movie is like rewriting history and creating a false narrative that those events were not important parts of his life, when clearly they were! That’s a distortion of the truth and makes the movie lose all credibility for me!
why does this amazing outstanding actor look a bit like bill Skarsgard
The only way to play this kind of role right is by method acting. Otherwise, you're just doing a caricature or impression. I don't get that sense here and that's why Austin Butler has maintained the southern accent since the film. He's basically been Elvis for 2 years. It's similar to Johnny Depp moving to France and picking up an "accent" to Americans. If the guy immersed himself in that life, it's not surprising he'd sound like that. It will wear off with the next movie - unless he plays another southern guy. Just cast him in the next Bill and Ted movie and it'll be like he never left Anaheim, dude.
The casting director wasn't told that Priscilla was amazingly beautiful in the 50s and 60s. The actress is so basic.
To bad they didnt really speak to everyone still alive who actually lived with elvis like billy smith and his family who are elvis's actual family for this film. baz decided to put billy in the movie then didn't actually talk to the real billy smith who is still alive june 2022. Baz literally interviewed sam elvis's friend from tupelo extensively but couldnt be bothered to drive an hour up the road to talk with the smith family who were there elvis's whole life till the day he died. Never contacted billy once even to ask permission to use his name in the movie. Shameful. I bet baz didnt even interview any of Elviss girlfriends who are still alive especially june juanico about the jacksonville concert in the movie. baz claims to have done all this research as well as austin and yet they still get the facts wrong multiple times even in the dang trailers. Elvis had to stand still during the jacksonville fl concert or he would have been arrested. In june jaunicos book she states he only moved pinky and shook his leg a little then cursed the cops at the end of the concert in the microphone under his breath. He didnt rebel and dance anway like the movie leads you to believe. If they actual read every book out there they would know that. Just tell the freakin truth of events. Elvis doesnt need you movie producers to embellish his amazing story. Another movie getting the facts wrong.
If the entire Presley family were in tears due to Austin’s representation along with Jerry Schilling one of his closest inner circle then everyone of us has mere opinions and perceptions; Austin said his main objective was to honor the legacy and the family, and he did that in spades.👍👍
Well it's called artistic licence to show the effect Elvis had!! Asfor not speaking or asking permission Baz doesn't need to ask permission for him to be featured in the movie ,I'd take it a positive he is as not all of them are featured because its not just a biopic like Baz has said so many times it's about youth culture in the 50s 60s and 70s and its based on the relationship between Parker and Elvis.

@@user-rr3yw9dn1l well apparently he is portraying the man. Surely all aspects of his life came up in all the research for the role
Austin is far more interesting to look at than the real Elvis lol
I said what I said..
Nah you tweakin
I've watched a lot of Elvis movies and other things when growing up and this guy does not fit right with me. Not sure what it is, too skinny, to pale, he just doesn't look right for the part to me. This maybe the first movie I've been disappointed with Tom Hanks too. I'll have to watch the movie but my hopes are not high
I'd say to you. keep an open mind, watch the movie, and THEN see how you feel!
I think your problem is that your standards are too high. You gotta give it a chance, the movie will hit different than the trailers as Baz tries to soften people's hearts at beginning
According to Elvis’ family and probably closest confidant, Jerry Schilling, Austin has been the first one to capture the person of Elvis, and that is what mattered most to him. Jerry and Priscilla looked at each other in Canne and said, “WOW”, and Lisa Marie said that was her dad. The details mean nothing if the essence of the person is all wrong; according to those who knew him best, Austin provided that in spades. I hope you find an aspect of this movie tribute to appreciate just as his family and one of his best friends has found; for them, Austin’s portrayal meant the world to them, according to them.😊
Austin captures the aura , the essence. I know it when I see it. He's got it.
Doesn 't look like Elvis...sorry
