You know itโs going to be a good day when you wake up to find the first trailer for the Elvis biopic has dropped. Yes, Baz Luhrmannโs highly-anticipated new project, starring Austin Butler finally has a full length, and letโs just say, being the King of rock โnโ roll looks good on him.
The film, simply titled Elvis, now has a release date, and will be gracing our screens on June 24, 2022. Luhrmann, who will be directing the project, took to Twitter to reveal the trailer, referencing Elvisโ personal motto, โTaking Care Of Businessโ: โWithout further ado, itโs time to TCBโก๏ธ so hereโs the trailer made with TLC.โ
In the three-minute clip, Butlerโs transformation into the King himself is revealed for the first time, and letโs just say itโs nothing short of impressive. We also get our first glimpse of Priscilla Presley (played by Olivia DeJong) and Elvisโ famed agent, Colonel Tom Parker (played by the formidable Tom Hanks). Watch the whole thing in full below.
Going by the trailer, it looks as though the biopic will focus on Elvisโ rise to fame, and the challenges that posed, as well as his budding relationship with Priscilla. Weโll also get plenty of unique insight into his dynamic with Colonel Tom, of whom Elvis shared a turbulent relationship with at times.
According to the official synopsis:
โIt is a musical drama about the life and music of Elvis Presley, seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presleyโs rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvisโs life, Priscilla Presley.โ
We also know that Tom Hanks will star alongside Butler as Colonel Tom Parker, Elvisโs complicated manager, so we canโt wait to watch that dynamic play out on-screen.

Itโs said that during the course of his career, Presley reached a level of stardom matched only by that of The Beatles (so basically, he was a pretty huge deal).
Safe to say we canโt wait for this one to drop, and weโll be standing by for more photos of Austin Butler to swoon over in the meantime.
