Rare footage of Elvis coming to big screen

The man who made the last Elvis movie is releasing a movie next year with rare footage of the King of Rock ‘n Roll.

Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann is behind “EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert,” which will be released in IMAX theaters February 20 before moving to other theaters one week later. A teaser of the film came out this week.

“EPiC features long-lost footage from Presley’s legendary Vegas residency in the 1970s, woven together with rare 16mm footage from Elvis on Tour and treasured 8mm film from the Graceland archive, along with rediscovered recordings of Elvis telling ‘his side of the story,” Sony Music said in a news release about the film.

The new Elvis movie made its debut in September at the Toronto International Film Festival.

What’s worth watching

The last thing I do is make recommendations, but I will do that with a couple of things out this weekend:

F1 The Movie was a blast and did not feel like a flick that runs more than two-and-a-half hours. If you can, watch it in IMAX.

My Mom Jayne, A Film by Mariska Hargitay includes a secret that comes to light and an ending that made me cry (in a good way, I might add.) The documentary is out now on HBO Max.
