Overview
- Neon released the first teaser confirming a one‑week IMAX engagement starting February 20, 2026, followed by a wide theatrical rollout on February 27.
- The feature assembles long‑lost footage from Elvis Presley’s 1970s Las Vegas residency with rare 16mm and 8mm material from Elvis on Tour and the Graceland archive.
- Luhrmann accessed Warner Bros. vaults in Kansas during his 2022 Elvis research, uncovering 68 boxes of film and a previously unknown 45‑minute recording of Presley discussing his life.
- Much of the material was silent and has been restored and synced to archival audio, with the teaser featuring Presley saying, “There’s been a lot written and a lot said, but never from my side of the story.”
- The film premiered at TIFF and will host advance screenings at Graceland on January 8, with distribution handled by Neon and Universal Pictures Content Group.
