SHades of the Godfather, which was disqualified from competing in the original score department, because Nino Rota, used, breifly,one piece of music from one of his scores for a Fellini movie. All of the themes from his score that have become iconic were original, but that did not matter to the Acedemy, maybe they have changed.

 

It did change which is why Howard Shore was able to win for both FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING and RETURN OF THE KING. It's now a certain percentage of the score has to be original.

RIP. Too young.

 

Austin Butler needs to release a statement offering his condolences to Priscilla and the Presley family ASAP.

[filmlover]

The suddenness is what makes this so shocking considering she seemed to be in good spirits at the Golden Globes not even 48 hours earlier. Sad. RIP.

I feel for Priscilla. It must be brutal to lose a grown child.

[Krissykins]

A troubled family for sure.

She's lost a grandchild too. This isn't the way it's supposed to be.

I would love to it; I am sure he filmed a lot that was left on the cutting room floor..like the first Ed Sullivan appreance, which was crucial in making Elvis into a major star.

Lisa Marie's death also creates problems for that upcoming Michael Jackson biopic which I don't have much faith in since it is being directly produced by the Jackson estate, which is not the case here.

After 2nd viewing, despite being too long and Butler giving a far too serious, somber performance (seriously, guy never seems at ease once in the entire film, the opposite of Elvis's energy. Butler acts like he is playing Bruce Wayne in Batman Begins) this is a well-made film and enjoyable overall. Actress who plays Priscilla is great too.

Butler is teetering on overexposure. Did he ever finalize the role in Dune?

Hell no. Baz sucks. I don't think he ever made a truly great movie. All his movies are chaotic messes

We've all seen stars use dubious temporary accents in real life before (Madonna, Ryan Gosling), it's just better if they don't address it at all vs providing long-winded excuses.

 

"Talkies" have been around for 95+ years, actors have put on/sung with high or deep voices for roles before, then went back to talking like themselves when the job was done. That's...acting? The alternative is not good technique or normal-like, Bradley Cooper didn't walk around sounding like Rocket Raccoon or Jackson Maine until the end of time. Pretty sure we're going to get at least one Brutally Honest Ballot Guy saying, "Oh, come on!" about the Elvis voice.
