Introduction
Fans of Elvis Presley have a new reason to celebrate. After months of speculation, acclaimed filmmaker Baz Luhrmann has finally unveiled details about his long-rumored project, and it promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. Titled “Epic: Elvis Presley in Concert,” this ambitious production is set for release at the end of 2025 and will bring the King of Rock and Roll back to life in a way fans have never experienced before.
According to Luhrmann, the project is neither a traditional documentary nor a simple concert film. Instead, it will combine rare and unreleased footage, newly restored performances, unheard interviews, and unseen recordings to create a unique journey where Elvis himself narrates his life story. For decades, this priceless material sat untouched in storage, including an astonishing discovery of 68 boxes of film negatives and unreleased 70mm footage hidden in Warner Bros.’ vaults. After painstaking restoration work that took over two years, the results are finally ready to be revealed.
What makes Epic so groundbreaking is its promise to let Elvis speak directly to his fans. Through newly uncovered audio, audiences will hear him reflect on his career, his music, and the struggles behind the spotlight. The film will span highlights from his iconic 1970 Las Vegas performances, his 1972 tour, and even rare moments from his 1957 “Golden Jacket” show in Hawaii. For the first time, Elvis’s own words and voice will guide viewers through his journey, creating a deeply personal and emotional experience.
Luhrmann, who reignited global fascination with Elvis through his 2022 biopic starring Austin Butler, has made it clear that his passion for the singer’s legacy runs deep. He worked closely with award-nominated editor Jonathan Redmond to ensure every frame and sound was restored with care and authenticity. Early previews at Sony Music’s showcase left audiences stunned, with many describing the presentation as “supernatural” and “unlike anything ever seen before.”
For lifelong fans, Epic is more than just another release—it is the chance to rediscover Elvis in his own words and music. For new generations, it offers the opportunity to connect with the King in the most authentic way possible. Whether screened in theaters or released on streaming platforms, this project is already shaping up to be one of the most important Elvis events in decades.
As the countdown to 2025 begins, one thing is certain: Elvis Presley’s story is about to be retold—by Elvis himself.
