Kurt Russell, Don Johnson, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and heck even Bruce Campbell & Steve Martin have played the legendary Elvis Presley in movies. But pair Baz Luhrmann with Tom Hanks and Austin Butler (who does his own singing in the movie and he's so good!) Tom Hanks takes on the role of Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis's manager. And in typical Baz Luhrmann fashion, it's an artistic, exciting and in depth look at the life of Elvis Presley, starting with his childhood and following him through his life, career and death. Even Elvis's ex wife Priscilla Presley loved it. "It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. I relived every moment in this film. It took me a few days to overcome the emotions as it did with Lisa." Elvis and Priscilla only had 1 child from their marriage and that was daughter Lisa Marie Presley.
