Visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann told the story of Elvis Presley in his 2022 Austin Butler-starring biopic. Now the King of Rock and Roll tells (and sings) his story like never before, in Luhrmann's follow-up to <i>Elvis</i>, <i>EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert</i>.
<i>EPiC</i> began when Luhrmann sought out unseen footage of Elvis to use in his biopic. When a grand total of sixty-eight boxes of 35mm and 8mm footage of outtakes from <i>Elvis: That's the Way It Is</i> and <i>Elvis on Tour</i> were found in the Warner Bros. archives in the salt mines of Kansas, something more had to be done with it. After two years of painstaking restoration and syncing of audio to the footage which originally came without sound, and the uncovering of Elvis' "gold jacket" performance in Hawaii and a 45-minute recording of him talking through his life story, the brand new cinematic experience of <i>EPiC</i> was born - not quite documentary, not quite concert film, but something that explores both the grandiosity of the man on stage and the inner workings of the man off it.MusicPT1H37M12A2026-02-27
