Elvis Movie Director's Cut Is 4-Hours Long Says Baz Luhrmann
Baz Luhrmann says that a four-hour-long director's cut exists for Elvis. Director auteur Luhrmann, who has previously delivered flamboyant theatrical pieces like Romeo + Juliet (1996), Moulin Rouge! (2001), and The Great Gatsby (2013), helmed the upcoming musical biopic about the King of rock 'n roll Elvis Presley off a script he wrote himself with several notable screenwriters. Elvis stars Switched at Birth actor Austin Butler as the titular music icon. It charts the legendary artist's remarkable life journey from his humble Mississippi beginnings to his rise to far-reaching stardom in the 1950s. Tom Hanks, Richard Roxburgh, Olivia DeJonge, Luke Bracey, Natasha Bassett, and David Wenham round out the cast for Elvis.
