The film stars Austin and Tom Hanks, who plays his infamous manager Colonel Tom Parker.

There’s a lot of excitement around the Elvis Presley biopic from Australia’s Baz Luhrmann, who is hoping to recreate the buzz he generated when he brought the can-can to Cannes with Moulin Rouge! 20 years ago.

The film chronicles the life and career of Elvis from his early days as a child growing up in Mississippi to his ascent as a rock and roll icon and movie star, along with his complex relationship with his manager.Ā 

Luhrmann served as the film’s director and co-screenwriter, along with Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce and Jeremy Donner, from a story he conceived with Donner.

The King: Austin (pictured) looked strikingly different as he transformed into the rock singer Elvis Presley

The King: Austin (left) looked strikingly different as he transformed into the rock singer Elvis Presley (right)Ā 

Elvis – who sold over 1B records – received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018 and he’s been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

Elvis died, age 42, in 1977 from cardiac arrhythmia due to a toxic reaction to codeine.

Austin recently noted that he ‘lost touch’ with his own personality while playing the eponymous character.

He told GQĀ Magazine:Ā ‘You can lose touch with who you actually are, and I definitely had that when I finished Elvis ā€“ not knowing who I was.’Ā 

Star: Watching from the wings is Colonel Tom Parker - played by Tom Hanks - whom Elvis signed a contract with in January 1955 and he went on to manage him for over two decades

As well as the mental impact of playing Elvis, Austin also revealed he was bedridden for a week after falling unwell one day after wrapping up the filming in March 2021.

Austin said he was diagnosed with a virus that simulates appendicitis and said it was like his body shut down straight after filming.

He said: ‘I woke up at four in the morning with excruciating pain, and I was rushed to hospital.’

The actor also revealed he ‘got chills’ when he found out that Elvis lost his mom at the same age he did.

He said: ‘His mother passed away when he was 23, and my mom passed away when I was 23, so when I learned that, it was one of those things where I got chills, and I just thought, Okay, I can connect to that.’

To get into character, Austin thought about the animals that Elvis reminded him of, saying: ‘He has catlike things, sort of like when a lion looks out at the prairie.

‘Thereā€™s this quality of an alligator, when it comes up from underneath the water.’

Austin compared Priscilla Presley – Elvis’ first wife, whose marriage lasted from 1967 to 1973 and produced their daughter Lisa Marie Presley, now 54 – to ‘an angel’ when he met her in preparation for the role at Graceland.Ā 

On seeing the 77-year-old actress for the first time, he said: ‘She looked like an angel. I walked down the hall with Baz afterwards with tears in my eyes.’

Much-anticipated: On Monday, Warner Bros. Pictures unveiled the second trailer for Elvis - which will hit theatres on June 24
