I remember him best as the boyfriend in the final season of the Nickelodeon series Zoey 101. When I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and thought the name was familiar, my jaw was on the floor when I discovered he was in half the kid sitcoms I watched growing up.

Now that my TG2 rating went down, this is back to being movie of the summer contender.

there's not a movie i've seen this year that wouldn't be better if Baz directed it. Top Gun, the batman, the northman etc.

The trailer played before Top Gun and Jurassic World here so awareness is sky high. 
 

Can’t wait to see this

There's a very strong chance Elvis will open at number 1 next week.

Would be surprised if it didn't 

[JohnnyGossamer]

Yeah. I think it should. I think 40M+ OW is happening which should definitely be enough... Even high 30s or mid 30s would probably do it. Mid 30s would make it a toss up with TGM though.

Ngl, I may go higher. I remember seeing someone here throw out 60m based off pre sales.

The four-hour “Elvis” cut also included a greater exploration of Elvis’ relationship with “first girlfriend, Dixie,” Luhrmann said. “And later on how… once he’s caught in a trap, and he’s discombobulated and doesn’t understand… someone who’s got such a hole in his heart like Elvis constantly looking and searching for love and finding it on stage but nowhere else.”

 

 

 

Luhrmann also shot scenes that tackled Elvis’ “addiction to barbiturates and all of that.” The filmmaker added, “What happens is he starts doing wackadoo things – like going down to see Nixon. I had it in there for a while but there just comes a point where you can’t have everything in, so I just tried to track the spirit of the character.”

So pleased this was green lit and fully funded, hoping its a big success.

I tried to tell everyone in this thread Elvis was going to do well and likely take off.  

 

Here we go....

I have no use for Smith as a filmmaker anymore, but the dude is quite likeable regardless.

WB just posted a final and perfect trailer to sell this to anyone sitting on the sidelines.

Hollywood needs more films like this. Pure creativity with proper funding.
