The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann is making an Elvis Presley biopic, and given the Oscar designated director being joined and the suffering notoriety of Elvis, it is an exceptionally looked for after role. The names of the actors who have tested for the role have now been uncovered.
As indicated by The Hollywood Reporter and different sources, Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), and Miles Teller (Whiplash) have all tried as of now.
Furthermore, singer Harry Styles of One Direction and Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). It’s not clear whether some other actors have tried up until now or if studio WarnerBros. is supporting any actor specifically at this juncture. Whatever the case, THR says WarnerBros. is hoping to cast its Elvis in the “coming weeks.”
What is as of now affirmed is that Tom Hanks will play Colonel Tom Parker, who was Elvis’ manager. The film will supposedly cover Elvis’ life, and explicitly his relationship with Parker.
While Styles may be viewed as the most striking singer of the reported contenders, the majority of the Elvis candidates referenced in the reports can sing.
Luhrmann earned the Best Picture Oscar nomination for 2001’s Moulin Rouge. He additionally directed the movies Romeo + Juliet, Australia, and The Great Gatsby, which were all widely praised.
