Fuck. Can’t help but laugh everytime I see Tom Hanks in these trailers. I just can’t take him seriously looking like this. The rest of the film looks pretty entertaining.
I have this really incovenient, hyper-specific problem where I never feel confident saying “Baz Luhrmann” in conversation. I say it and my brain immediately tells me, “you idiot, it’s *Laz Buhrmann*,” which is obviously incorrect, but I can’t convince my brain otherwise.
Oh thank god I don’t have to see that other Elvis trailer every time I go to an AMC anymore and now actually using songs that are familiar as Elvis songs and not (and I know it’s a standard but it’s undoubtably most known as a) Righteous Brothers songs (minus that inexplicable hip hop song).
This movie looks so bad. Like they found some dude that looks like Elvis so they decided to make a movie about it…then randomly put Tom Hanks in a fat suit.
I’ve made up my mind after seeing the 2nd trailer. This is gonna flop. Quote me on this.
2h40m movie released in August, and this trailer *already* felt too long and biopic cliched, and Baz’ movies sometimes being too much Baz, and Tom Hanks in this dangerously close to being a bad meme = this movie will struggle mightily.
And there are the themes prevalent in Baz Luhrmann’s films: the artist making a stand against the world in the name of his art and the love of it. It was seen in Strictly Ballroom and Moulin Rouge.
I would have liked this film to be a bit more true to real life, because Elvis had one epic rollercoaster of it. But I don’t think Luhrmann’s take on it will be too fictional.
The first trailer seemed a lot more epic. This one is good, but feels less epic TBH.
Does this movie really need more then one trailer? You know what the plot is from the first trailer Tom hanks bad Elvis good
I want an Elvis movie but I don’t want a Baz Luhrmann Elvis movie.
If this movie doesn’t show him eating one of those bacon peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that killed him I’m going to fucking riot.
The lead’s Elvis voice accent is sooooo bad wtf
Aimed for: Elvis Pressley biopic
Achieved: Danny Zuko biopic

Show Fat Elvis or we riot
No sinks torn from the walls for emotional effect 0/10

This looks amazing!
I’m skeptical of the directors ability to direct.
This movie is going to fucking suck. I can’t wait to see it.
I’m extremely excited for this but I don’t think the ending line of “we’re going to do something different” bodes well….
I hope its great though. Even though Butler doesn’t really look like Elvis to me, he definitely sounds like him.
Baz Luhrmann is a perfect example of how auteur theory also applies to crap film directors. Wonder what Truffaut would say about this.
I don’t think Tom Hanks was the right choice for this. He looks like a caricature.
I just don’t see Feyd.
THIS IS CAMP BITCH
5 Star letterboxd review incoming
I just need to know if this kid is any good since he’s going to be Feyd-Rautha.

Dewey Cox really messed things up for me when it comes to movies like this.
Ending will be him taking the last dump of his life
this looks like Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox story but without the self-awareness.
Reddit and Twitter are gonna hate this and it’s gonna gross $500m+ for sure
Priscilla and Lisa Marie both loved this movie. Pretty good endorsement.
Has fat-suit science finally gone too far?
