Austin Butler will play the iconic pop star starting from when he was discovered as a teenager until his death. (Actor Chaydon Jay will play child-aged Elvis). Butler is perhaps most well known to Gen Z audiences as a regular on Hannah Montana and Zooey 101, while older film buffs might recognize him as Tex Watson, one of the Manson cult members wh...
Tom Hanks will play Elvis Presley’s notorious manager “Colonel” Tom Parker. A Dutch con-man and carnival barker, Parker came to the United States as a young man before becoming interested in the music industry. He was given the honorary “Colonel” after serving in an informal Louisiana militia (and going AWOL after an actual stint in the military). ...
Hank Snow was one of the leading country music artists of the 1950s and gave a young Elvis Presley one of his first big breaks when he invited Presley to open for him at the Grand Ol’ Opry. He also became Presley’s manager, alongside Tom Parker, for a short time. The partnership did not end amicably, and forty years later, Snow said, “I have worked...
Frequent Baz Luhrmann collaborator Richard Roxburgh (the weasely and villainous Duke in Moulin Rouge) and Helen Thomson will play Vernon and Gladys Presley, the parents of Elvis. Elvis had a famously close bond with his mother and was forever altered by her death (when she was only 46 years old). Meanwhile, Vernon reportedly worked closely with Col...
Olivia DeJonge will play Elvis Presley’s wife Priscilla. Priscilla and Elvis met and began their relationship when he was stationed in Berlin and she was only 14 years old. (Very yikes!) With her family’s reluctant permission, she moved onto the Graceland estate and lived with Elvis for several years. They did not become public with their relations...
Bassett will play Dixie Locke, Elvis Prestley’s first girlfriend. They dated from 1953 to 1955, when he first began recording music, but before he became a popular music phenomenon.
Xavier Samuel is Scotty Moore
Scotty Moore was a guitarist and recording engineer who formed the backing band The Blue Moon Boys for Elvis’ early career. Some critics credit Moore with inventing power chords on the Elvis hit “Jailhouse Rock.” Even after The Blue Moon Boys disbanded in 1957 (over rising pay disputes—Presley was a millionaire and the rest of the band was only receiving $100-200 a week), Moore stayed as one of Elvis Presley’s lead guitarists until 1968.
Adam Dunn is Bill Black
Adam will play Bill Black, the bassist that rounded out the trio of The Blue Moon Boys. He later formed his own group, “Bill Black’s Combo.”
Growing up in Mississippi, Presley was heavily influenced by country, gospel, and most importantly, rhythm and blues.
Presley ended up with a notorious entourage of friends, employees, and hangers-on known as the “Memphis Mafia” who lived with him at Graceland. While some were friends with Presley since childhood, most were considered to be parasitic lackeys and were blamed, indirectly, for his drug addiction and eventual death.
An important subset of the “Memphis Mafia” was Presley’s trio of bodyguards. After being fired, they released a tell-all memoir Elvis: What Happened?describing their time with Elvis Presley and detailing his drug abuse. The memoir was released only two weeks before Presley’s death.
- Austin Butler is Elvis Presley, aka The King. Austin Butler takes on the title role of Elvis Presley and according to most critics (including our own What to Watch film reviewer), he's done an outstanding job.
- Tom Hanks is Colonel Tom Parker. Colonel Tom Parker (not his real name) was Elvis' manager and business partner — and all-round bad egg. Colonel Tom — actually a Dutch national called Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk — was a carnival con-man who changed his name, faked his military background and then moved into music promotion where we worked with various acts, including Hank Snow.
- Helen Thomson is Gladys Presley. Elvis was close to his mother, Gladys. She adored him and he worshipped her. When she died young — aged just 46, while he was serving in the Army — he was devastated.
- Richard Roxburgh is Vernon Presley. Vernon Presley had a huge influence on his son Elvis after Elvis' mum Gladys died. He managed his Graceland estate, looked after Elvis' finances and even went with him on tour.
