Elvis got a new trailer today as well, and it is looking quite exceptional. Thrilled that Baz has this coming out, and it’s only a month away.
Really? I liked Australia and would definitely check out an extended mini series. Do you have any more info?Having Baz Luhrmann as the director is enough to put me off seeing it. I have never been a fan of Baz as a director. His woeful, tedious and overlong flop AUSTRALIA will be re - issued as a mini series with unseen material added to it. Heaven forbid.
The trailer doesn't lure me in. The skinny kid does not resemble Presley in the least. And I'm not interested in a film that features the evil Tom Parker.I am not a fan of Baz Luhmann. He almost always camps up his films and stage shows.. I am a great fan of Elvis however so maybe he will finally have a film that will engage me? One can't tell by watching the trailer as they are made to lure you into the cinema and generally on false pretences. Few people know that Baz also directed Joan Sutherland's last opera on stage at the Sydney Opera House.
HmmThe Australian made film has been getting the thumbs down from critics in Australia where it opened to-day.
Will it be another Baz's flop?
Both ROCKETMAN and BOHEMIAN RHAPOSDY were suburb movies?I can't believe this will do much business in theaters. Then again, I've been surprised by the success of other recent rock biopics like Rocketman and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Budget seems very high for this type of film at $85 million. Both films above were in the $40-50 million range for production.
I don’t think they were set in the suburbs. Mostly in major cities I would say.Both ROCKETMAN and BOHEMIAN RHAPOSDY were suburb movies?
OR HAS HE??????The king has been dead 45 years, unfortunately.
Respectfully, why would you want to pay to go see something that you expect to be boring?I’m not expecting much from this film and kind of expect it to be three hours of boring but I hope I’m wrong and maybe it’ll actually be good.
Date night. Because my wife wants to go see it. Same reason I suffered through the entire Twilight saga.Respectfully, why would you want to pay to go see something that you expect to be boring?
