… and heats up the atmosphere of anticipation for the premiere with a new clip!
If there’s anything that’s been setting the imagination of millions of Elvis Presley fans around the world on fire in recent weeks, it’s definitely Australian director Baz Luhrman’s latest project dedicated to the legendary King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
After several previous posts by the director on social media and short trailers he posted (which showed that there really IS something to wait for), yesterday evening we finally learned the title of the announced film.
“EPiC”, or “Elvis Presley In Concert”. This is the title of Baz Luhrman’s latest film, which will most likely hit theaters later this year. “I’ve already given you a little hint and I’m sure you’ve seen the clues. Now it’s time to say it out loud… #’EPiC’, ‘ELVIS PRESLEY in CONCERT’ “, Baz Luhrman wrote yesterday. “Watch and listen as Elvis tells his story. In a way that’s never been done before! I’ll be going into all the details about ‘EPiC’ later today during a presentation for Sony Music Vision. And don’t worry! I’ll try to download a few frames to share with you on my channel .”
As promised, a few hours later, Luhrman presented another trailer for his new work. “ I just jumped off the stage at the SMV screening and here are some of the frames I mentioned to you, ” he wrote. “ Snippets of never-before-seen footage of existing footage that we’ve restored to a quality never seen before .”
Unlike the previous announcement, this time, the published footage, which was a few seconds long, featured mostly footage shot for the film “That’s The Way It Is”. See for yourself:
The aforementioned materials (especially those previously unpublished), as well as those recorded for the 1972 film “On Tour”, are to form the basis of the announced film. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing that despite the large amount of information already disclosed, it is difficult to say unequivocally what kind of cinema the Australian director is preparing for viewers.
It is known that “EPiC” is to be a film unlike any other so far. It will not be a classic documentary or a traditional concert film. It is not even known for sure whether the years 1970 and 1972 are the only period the director focuses on. Especially since just a few days ago he posted a photo on his social media – a frame from a video recording of Presley’s concert in Hawaii in 1957. ” I stare at this screen day and night. I can’t wait to share this with you ,” he wrote at the time.
Everything indicates that the title revealed yesterday may have a double meaning. “EPiC” – “Elvis Presley In Concert”. And “EPiC” as in the EPIC work that we are all eagerly awaiting!
