Oscar winner Tom Hanks (Cast Away, Forrest Gump, Philadelphia) has already signed on to play Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis Presley’s manager.
According to Deadline, Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver), Miles Teller (Top Gun: Maverick), Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and Harry Styles (Dunkirk) are in contention for the lead role of Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic.
The currently untitled Elvis biopic will be co-written by Luhrmann, who will direct, and BAFTA winner Craig Pearce (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!).
Parker discovered Presley when he was just an unknown and quickly moved in as his lone representation.
