“Before Elvis, there was nothing.” – John Lennon.

Watch the brand new trailer below:
Here’s the official synopsis:
The film chronicles the life and career of singer and actor Elvis Presley, from his early days as a child to becoming a rock and roll and movie star, as well as his complex relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Building off the excitement generated by this year’s MET Gala appearance, along with the original trailer, Elvis is hoping up to be one hell of an event movie and with this film we’ll see the entire breadth of The King’s career as he changes the very nature of what music could be.
Star Austin Bustler utterly transforms into The King, and his presence and swagger as Elvis Presley is incredible to watch, as is the magnetism of Hollywood legend, Tom Hanks, as Presley’s manager, confidante and sometimes antagonist Colonel Tom Parker. Together the two of them, under Luhrmann’s vision tell an incredible, awe-inspiring story, and Elvis has the making of a cinematic experience that will be utterly mesmerizing to look upon.
Told with Luhrmann’s unique craft for storytelling and showmanship, Elvis blends together, art and sound for a full-on rollercoaster of a ride and audiences will feel their groove in this new trailer.
With an all-star cast that includes Austin Butler as Elvis Presley, Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis’ manager, Helen Thomson as Gladys Presley, Elvis’ mother, Richard Roxburgh as Vernon Presley, Elvis’ father, Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ wife, Luke Bracey as Jerry Schilling, David Wenham as Hank Snow and Josh McConville as Sam Phillips, and which is powered by the incredible vision of Baz Luhrmann, Elvis is shaping up to be an incredible and unmissable cinematic event.
Get ready to rock n’roll and feel the rhythm when Elvis arrives in cinemas on June 23.
