Elvis with Austin Butler: Actors Tried Reverse Blind Test on King Hits

They are currently starring in Buzz Lurman’s new film, Will Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonji Recognize Elvis Songs … Backwards? Answer the pictures with our reverse blind test.

“A little less talk”, “I love you very much”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “If I could dream”… It takes more than two fingers to count the hits of Elvis Presley, a rock legend whose songs we know for sure, even if the titles sometimes miss us. Currently starring Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonji in Buzz Lurman’s new film, it must be logically difficult to pass the blind test around the King as they have been immersed in his world for almost two years.

But what if we play their songs … backwards? Whether or not they will achieve victory despite everything when we do “Sounds like another song in itself” As Olivia DeJonge points out? Respond to pictures with relevant translators Elvis and Priscilla Presley who met at the last Cannes Film Festival where the feature film was presented, without competition and with success.

Nine years after the Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann returned to the movies with Elvis. Or even evidence of the importance of music in his filmography. But this time he goes even further, with his first biography. And not just one because he attacks the Rock legend, the king, to better explore his significance in the history of the United States and in the world of entertainment.

Thus, Elvis emerges from the remnants of a classic biography to merge portraits of the star and America at the time through the eyes of his ambiguous manager, Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). Opportunity for the film director to once again show his visual and sound talents. Especially in concert scenes. And expose the general public to Austin Butler, who presents a play that highlights. At the Oscars? Answer next March.
