The movie will explore the life and music of Elvis through his complicated relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Dead Don’t Die) is starring in the lead role as Elvis alongside Oscar winner Tom Hanks (A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, The Post), who is playing Presley’s manager Colonel Tom Parker, and Olivia DeJonge (The Visit), who will play Presley’s only wife Priscilla.
The Hollywood Reporter has brought word that The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming biopic surrounding iconic rock star Elvis Presley has found another addition in the form of Oscar nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal, who has signed on to star as the musician’s mother Gladys Presley.
Parker discovered Presley when he was just an unknown and quickly moved in as his lone representation.
