Elvis + Baz = EPiC: Everything we know about Baz Luhrmann's upcoming Elvis Presley film
"EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert." That's the title of director Baz Luhrmann's upcoming movie — a title both obvious and brilliant, with an acronym so inevitable it's a shock nobody thought of it before. Here's what we know so far about the project, which if nothing else offers more evidence that Elvis — who died almost 50 years ago — has never really "left the building." (You can find him and his music in movie houses right now, referenced throughout Disney's new live-action "Lilo & Stitch," which in just two weeks of release has become the second biggest box-office hit of 2025, behind "A Minecraft Movie.") We'll use Elvis song titles for this story's "chapters." In 2022, Australian director Baz Luhrmann released his sixth feature film, "Elvis," an inventive and, yes, epic biopic about the King of Rock 'n' Roll. The movie was a hip-shaking runaway hit, grossing close to $290 million at the worldwide box office and earning eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Austin Butler, who was propelled to stardom). Shot over the course of a year in Australia, the film's production was grueling, and had been preceded by years of research that included multiple trips by Luhrmann and his staff to the Graceland archives and other Elvis sites. Nevertheless, Luhrmann, after the release of "Elvis," almost immediately began teasing plans for an Elvis documentary, to make use of the extensive footage and audio he uncovered that had not previously been seen or heard by the public. Elvis Presley Enterprises managing partner Joel Weinshanker confirmed that Luhrmann was working on a second Elvis film during an Elvis Week panel discussion at the Graceland Soundstage in 2024. 'I probably really shouldn't say that,' Weinshanker cracked, after letting the cat — or "Hillbilly Cat," to cite one of Elvis' 1950s nicknames — out of the bag. 'Oops — sorry, Baz." Later, it was revealed that the documentary would be a project of Sony Music Vision; Bazmark, the company founded by Luhrmann and his wife, designer/producer Catherine Martin; and a new production company, Authentic Studios, an offshoot of Weinshanker's Authentic Brands Group, which licenses "likeness" rights for such celebrities as Marilyn Monroe and Muhammad Ali. ELVIS AT 90: Decade-by-decade milestones in the life — and afterlife — of the King Luhrmann announced that his new Elvis film will be titled "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert" on May 29 — first on his Instagram account, then onstage at the Sony Music Vision "content showcase" in Los Angeles, an event that also touted such upcoming projects as a Barbra Streisand documentary and a concert tour film about the rock band Oasis. Also on Instagram, Luhrmann shared a brief montage of Elvis-in-concert footage. "During the making of ELVIS, we went on a search for rumored unseen footage from the iconic 1970s concert films Elvis: That's The Way It Is and Elvis on Tour," he wrote, in a May 30 Instagram letter to fans. "I had researchers go into the Warners Bros. film vaults buried in underground salt mines and, to the astonishment of all, we uncovered 68 boxes of film negative, as well as unseen 8mm footage. It has taken two years to restore the footage to a quality that it has never been projected at previously, while the team had to meticulously claw back sound from the many, unconventional sources that were also unearthed. One of the great finds has been unheard recordings of Elvis talking about his life and his music." Luhrmann said the film will weave "never-before-seen footage" with "iconic performances that have never been presented in this way, from the 1970 Vegas show, on tour in 1972 and even precious moments of the 1957 'gold jacket' performance in Hawaii. Most importantly, Elvis will sing and tell you about his life in first person, through both classic and contemporary musical prisms.' So, Luhrmann is crafting the definitive Elvis-in-concert documentary, eh? Not so fast. On Instagram, the director wrote that "EPiC" is "not specifically a documentary, nor a concert film." In an interview with the entertainment website, Deadline, he added: "Our aim is to make something new in the Elvis canon." "EPiC" will "bring something to the screen that befits the magnitude of Elvis as a performer but also offers deeper revelations of his humanity and inner life," Luhrmann told Deadline. Sonically speaking, the director's reference to "classic and contemporary musical prisms" on his Instagram post suggests the film could contain radically remixed Elvis recordings and diverse covers of Elvis songs, much as the biopic "Elvis" incorporated hip-hop and other post-Elvis forms into the soundtrack, to suggest the timeless nature and continuing influence of Presley's music. Wrestling those 68 boxes of footage and all the rest of the tape into feature film form will be a formidable if fascinating challenge for Luhrmann and editor Jonathan Redmond (who was Oscar-nominated for his editing of "Elvis," and also edited Luhrmann's 2013 version of "The Great Gatsby"). It seems certain that Luhrmann — an advocate of the big-screen, big-sound experience — will insist that the movie receive a theatrical run before it becomes available for home viewing, but no release date has been announced. Our bet would be late 2026 or 2027, to tie the movie in with the hoopla that will accompany Graceland's recognition of the 50th anniversary of Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977, at the age of 42.

‘Something Beautiful' Trailer: Miley Cyrus Makes Her Directorial Debut with Pop Opera Feature
Miley Cyrus has been a mega-star for more than a decade but now the multihyphenate is adding another talent to her resume: director. Cyrus helms her pop opera feature 'Something Beautiful,' making her directorial debut with the 'one of a kind' cinematic experience that is 'fueled by fantasy,' as the logline teases. Cyrus co-directs with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. 'Something Beautiful' will feature 13 original songs from Cyrus' ninth studio album of the same name. The film is mixed by Alan Meyerson ('Dune Part One,' 'The Dark Knight') for a theatrical release. 'Mandy' breakout filmmaker Panos Cosmatos produces along with Cyrus and XYZ Films, in collaboration with Sony Music Vision, Columbia Records, and Live Nation. Benoît Debie is the cinematographer. More from IndieWire Documentarian Sacha Jenkins Has Died: 'Louis Armstrong's Black & Blues' Filmmaker Started as a Journalist 'It Was Just an Accident' Wins the Palme d'Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival (Complete Winners List) ''Something Beautiful' is my dream project come true — fashion, film, and original music coexisting in harmony,' Cyrus said in a press statement. 'My co-creators are all geniuses in their own right: from the masters of sound, Shawn Everett and Alan Meyerson, to one of cinema's most unique directors, Panos Cosmatos serving as a producer. Each collaborator has used their expertise to make this fantasy a reality.' 'Something Beautiful' will have its world premiere June 6 at the Tribeca Festival. The film follows the trend of visual albums with feature accompaniments: The Weeknd recently debuted 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' starring Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan to coincide with his album as well. As for the 'Something Beautiful' team, producer Cosmatos has his own feature in the works starring another first-time female director, Kristen Stewart, whose 'The Chronology of Water' wowed at Cannes. Stewart will star alongside Oscar Isaac in Cosmatos' '80s-set vampire rave drama 'Flesh of the Gods,' written by 'Se7en' screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker. The film centers on married couple Raoul (Isaac) and Alex (Stewart) who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm of '80s Los Angeles, per the official synopsis. When they cross paths with a mysterious and enigmatic woman and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence. 'Flesh of the Gods' will be the fourth collaboration between Cosmatos and XYZ, including 'Something Beautiful.' 'Something Beautiful' will be released in theaters for one night only on June 12 from Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision. Check out the trailer below.
