There was strong competition at the box office This weekend was like Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis came face to face Top Gun: Maverick, who was still acting ridiculous in his fifth week. When the dust has settled, Elvis ended up dating best gun, but both films would have been pleased with the results, especially since Luhrmann’s musical emerged with an A-CinemaScore from the audience and a 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Very, very impressive.
Part of the fun of watching Elvis on the screen, the incredible performance of the protagonist Austin Butler, who watch and role play so much that the film has received praise from the Presley family . And it might have something to do with the incredible attention to detail that Baz Luhrmann has apparently brought to the production, including the scene where Elvis performs his Christmas TV special in front of a live audience.
In the film, he is the bone of contention. Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks) wants the singer to offer a Christmas special that will make the networks happy. Elvis, however, wants to regain his advantage and be the lead singer of old, so there’s a pushback. But Elvis Co-star Olivia DeJonge, who plays Priscilla Presley in the film, also noted how far Luhrmann went to replicate this story, telling Gossipify in a recent interview :
The thing about the 1968 special, I don’t know how many people know, is that they also matched all the extras with the looks of real people on that stage. Up to the locker room, the hair, the way they were sitting … it’s crazy. When you love image by image, it’s crazy. So sitting down and looking at it from the perspective I was looking at it was crazy.
Elvis star Austin Butler said he was nervous when it came time to sing in front of a live audience, as required to film the concert scenes for the film Baz Luhrmann, and the advice he received from Rami Malek from Bohemian Rhapsody celebrity. But since most eyes would always be on Butler during the concert, you might see how Luhrmann could relax and not painfully recreate every beat of real moments. If you’ve seen the Elvis movie take a look real pictures from the 1968 return special with Elvis Presley, when he chose to sing his classics to friendly Christmas tunes:
Even before people knew the attention to detail Elvisthe crowd thronged. Why not? Notice for Elvis they were positive and the anticipation for the film began to grow the moment the first trailer arrived , so we can see how it translated into tickets being sold. Now it will be Elvis continue to act? You can stand up like you Top Gun: Maverick managed to do? Or it will all be crushed Thor: love and thunder? Time will tell.
