Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, & More Premiere ELVIS at Cannes

The cast of ELVIS premiered their new film at the 75th annual Cannes film festival in France last night, May 25. Held at the Palais des Festivals, Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Olivia DeJonge, director Baz Luhrmann, Alton Mason, and Priscilla Presley were all on hand to walk the carpet at the premiere.

A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s (Austin Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). As told by Parker, the film delves into the complex dynamic between the two spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

The film will be released to theaters on June 24.
