Overview

• Luhrmann unveiled EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert at the Toronto International Film Festival, drawing an enthusiastic standing ovation.
• The film is constructed from nearly 60 hours of Warner Bros. negatives found in Kansas salt-mine vaults and material from the Graceland archive.
• It blends concert performances, rehearsals and studio moments from the early 1970s, centered on Las Vegas 1970 shows and a 1972 tour.
• Presley narrates through archival audio, including press appearances and a previously unreleased, long-form interview, to let him tell his own story.
• Restoration involved collaboration with Peter Jackson’s team, lip-readers to sync silent footage, and selective re-recording, and the film currently has no distributor or release date.
