That is true , He doesn't looks like Elvis but His doing Elvis is excellent . Rami Malek looks like Mercury and his doing Mercury is also excellent that's why I think He got an Oscar .
This movie was meant for Austin he comes into his own seen it twice the second time insane parts that I had missed first time, absolutely brilliant thanks Baz.
I wish I could say the same for Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker. One view of the Nightline interview with the real Tom Parker shows he missed Parker by a mile in having an accent in the first place and then some.
Austin made an extraordinary effort in impersonating Elvis. He started to behave, talk and move just like him but the thing that really had a massive impression on n me was the fact that he didn’t just imitate, he legit became Elvis. This is the role of a life time and he deserves all the praise he’s getting. He’s a brilliant actor
Dude did his homework. If this isn't the definition of a 'breakthrough' or 'star-making' performance, than I don't know what is. No wonder Denzel Washington and now Tom Hanks are both mentoring him. He'll be a household name soon.
At first I didn't think he looked enough like Elvis, but with clips like this it's really easy to see why the director chose him. I've heard the actor can really play piano as well.
@michael leitch you are a special kind of stupid aren't you? My tolerance level for those of you going full retard in the comments is about tapped out. I don't expect everyone to have the same opinion as me, but I do expect if you have a differing opinion that it is shared in a respectful manner. However, over and over again you toolboxes seem like you get off on tearing others down.
@michael leitch THATS WHAT I SAID!! Lol He has Travolta’s lips when he was in "GREASE"!!! But Everything else of Austin’s is PERFECT!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻
I’m going to be 60 years old this year. I was 14 when Elvis died. I was a fan even before his death… And I’ve been waiting for this movie my whole life. My three grown beautiful daughters are taking me to see this this movie opening night June 24. What a gift. I can tell you in advance it’s going to be emotional.
@@terrilindsay1125 All I know is, Priscilla and Lisa Marie and Riley loved this movie. It brought them to tears actually. To see Lisa Marie hug Austin Butler in the jungle room at Graceland was very moving. That says a lot right there. The director of this movie is very eccentric and I don’t expect a normal movie. I do expect great cinematography… Great picture… And great sound with a lot of history to learn. Some embellished, while some accurate.
Absolutely phenomenal… playing Elvis is a make or break movie in someone’s career but he absolutely NAILED it. Absolutely fantastic !!!!!! He deserves all the praise in the world.
I was skeptical AF going into this movie and the first 15-20 minutes in I was still like "oh no, this is a fever dream", but it quickly settled and I was captivated. I thought it would be distracting that Austin doesn't look much like Elvis, but then there were these scenes, particularly the comeback special, where I actually started staring intently at the screen because I was CONVINCED that they were using stock video of Elvis but nope, that was just Austin looking like his actual bloody doppelganger. It was in the moments of action when he was singing and moving that he absolutely transformed. It was delightful and he deserves so much praise for his commitment and the talent
I am 99% sure some scenes used a deepfake of elvis onto austin’s face! it’s very noticeable when you know what to look for. It wasn’t in every scene, but some of the more iconic scenes towards the middle and end definitely used some kind of deepfake tech
I’ve said it before I’d like to think Austin knew he didn’t look identical to him so his mindset was all about getting the personality down and the charisma and I ain’t gonna lie he did really well
@@ajsmith5295 You can tell that Austin has studied the style. He's done Elvis proud on this one considering it was Elvis's first recorded hit in his part of the deep South! Not forgetting Austin had to take voice lessons and was not a singer!
He is not perfectly a look-alike of Elvis but he captured his charisma and persona... His actions and personality are becoming alive in Austin. Of course, the King is unique and nobody could equal him but Austin gave justice to the role. Great job Austin.
Austin Butler deserves a clean sweep for this movie during awards season. People's Choice, Golden Globe, and Oscar...and anything else they give out. Bravo🙌👏🙏💞
Capturing the look, presence, sense or humor of a man as dynamic as Elvis Presley is an impossible job I think. He was truly one Of a kind. But Austin did a really good job. I can't wait for the movie
At first when I saw the trailer I wasn’t sure about it. I went the other night to see the movie…WOW. The voice, singing and the moving of his lower part of his body was incredible. It felt I was seeing the real Elvis. What a performance. Can’t imagine how Pricilla and Lisa Marie felt as they sat down to watch the movie. A lot of memories must have flooded Pricilla. Austin Butler made Elvis alive even if it was for a moment.
If Hollywood want to regain their reputation, especially after this last award ceremony, Austin would be the perfect example to win an Oscar. Baz too! They are both respectful of others, and, This may be America's last chance to honour the culture that Elvis brought to his country and the World. This, in my mind, would be the definitive Elvis Biopic movie!
I just saw it today for the 2nd time. Enjoyed every minute both times. I’m 76 so I remember all the songs & him preforming. The day he died I was at work, so many of us cried. Austin should get an Oscar!!!
This guy is phenomenal, what an excellent casting this was!! I enjoyed the movie immensely and look forward to seeing it again!! KUDOS to all involved with this project and thanks so much for sharing this clip!
Wow! I am amazed that Austin can sing like Elvis!!! He really catched Elvis Style of Singing! I'm a fan of Elvis since I was a kid and I can say that this is the Guy who can really sing like Elvis the King of Rock 'n Roll so closely well!!! Congrats Austin!!! 🙏👍You're doing Great!!! Keep up the Good Work! Cheers!!! All for the Glory and Pride and Honor as well as Great Tribute to Elvis!!! 😄😀😀
I openly admit thinking I would hate the film, simply due to the clips, and being a hardcore Elvis purist, I was convinced Austin Butler was going to make it impossible to enjoy the film. Boy, oh boy was I ever wrong!! I F*CKING LOVED IT!!!!... The entire movie was a slam dunk! They nailed it on the head so well, and Austin Butler was amazing.. I really owe him a giant apology, because he did an excellent excellent job participating in the Elvis Bible on film I've waited for my entire life, well ever since I was 12... But that's 46 years I've been waiting, and I'm tickled pink right now
Haven’t seen it yet but from the previews I have thought he looked very good. My only issue is just how annoying Tom Hanks appeared in the trailer. Like the accent is awful and the acting just does not seem like a human being. But this guy that plays Elvis, to me pulls off the look pretty well for a young Elvis. I was thinking, why does Tom Hanks have to talk so much. Just show Elvis.
@@gutenbird actually Tom Hanks was just as good as Austin Butler, and you have to remember that Colonel Tom was an illegal Dutch immigrant, and he talked with a Dutch accent, although he would often try to hide it.. but Colonel Tom never actually pronounced the name Elvis correctly... He always called him "ELWIS"
@@gutenbird and perhaps it's important you approach the film with the understanding there are literally thousands of multifaceted different elements and angles and perspectives about Elvis and his career and personal life... You could make a movie about his relationship with Ann-Margret, and you could also make an entire movie about his relationship with Dr Nick, and another movie about each of the bodyguards, and another individual movie about the relationship with his mother, and another entire movie about the relationship with Muhammad Ali.. You could literally make 300 movies, and you still wouldn't be able to scratch the surface of the full story... So to prevent disappointment, eliminate expectations And approach this film understanding it focuses on the 100% true and accurate disgusting horrifying manipulation and exploitation of Elvis by the illegal Dutch immigrant who called himself Colonel Tom Parker. That's what the movie is about It's just as much about Colonel Tom as it is about Elvis, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised exactly how well Tom Hanks handles the role, and it may very well be his biggest role yet, and I'm well aware of the impact of Forrest Gump.. I'm simply saying years from now, in retrospect, you salute Tom Hanks in his performance of Colonel Tom My problem was Austin butler. You saw the commercials and thought Austin was a good choice, but I was the complete opposite. I thought I would hate Austin Butler in the role, and I've actually been worried sick about this for over a year now. It turns out you and I were both wrong Because Austin Butler is perfect (there will never be another human being who looks like Elvis presley, no matter how long it takes us to self-destruct) And Tom Hanks is perfect (we are all still very much in love with elvis, and so we defend him and we want to protect him like his mother did.. we all worried they might fumble the ball regarding our boy, but all of your fears will be allayed... The movie is exquisite, it's a real masterpiece of art... You'll know when metaphor is being used, and when it's actually the true sequence of events.. but as a die hard, 100% hardcore Elvis loyalist and Puritan, I can assure you even the metaphoric areas are accurate, because how can you possibly fit his entire life into 2 hours 40 minutes? But baz luhrmann did the best job anybody could have possibly done And he has a 4 hour 10 minute version that's going to be released in a year or so, which will focus even more on the final four years and the suicide. Did you notice I said suicide? Because that's exactly what happened, and it wasn't on the toilet seat. It was in a barber chair next to the toilet seat. It was very much intentional, and not in any way shape or form an accident
@@StinkFinger2023 You've got to be kidding. Colonel Tom didn't sound anything like what Hanks is doing. Nobody sounds like what Hanks is doing. I'm not the only one complaining about his poor performance. It almost destroys what is a wonderful Trailer.
As I was watching the movie, I swear there were times I wasn't sure if I was watching Elvis or Austin! This was truly an amazing performance that must be seen!
Everything happens for a reason and this young man did Elvis justice. It’s like Elvis being reincarnation. I hear everyone has mention his voice, well I don’t see nothing wrong with it. 2 years of sounding like someone else will change your voice. Why not sound like Elvis. He deserves a Oscar for this performance 🎭👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for sharing this. It's rare and special to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the creative process. Austin is a very special man and actor. Thank you again....
It's so uncannily close to the Elvis original from 1953 that even die-hard fans would be hard pressed to know which track is Austin and which one is Elvis. Check it out. Here's the original.... ruclips.net/video/NmopYuF4BzY/видео.html
So awesome to see this. As a seriously devoted, lifelong Elvis fan, for the most part being disappointed by any prior attempt at re-creating what Elvis brought to the stage and a performance, it is so refreshing to see someone, without trying to look exactly like Elvis with prosthetics and makeup (impossible), without over embellishing every stereotypical Elvis move (again impossible) and instead someone just trying to tap into the moment... being committed and being real. I can't wait to see this movie. i hope i feel the same afterwards as I am feeling watching this and the two released trailers. More than anyone that has ever stepped on the big stage, ELVIS deserves a proper characterization.
@michael leitch You are not getting it. We OBVIOUSLY see the things that are not exactly like Elvis, but we are not watching a damn tribute act here. This is an actor and this is NOT simply an impersonation.
@michael leitch Yeah…you are missing the point completely. I don’t want to see a”tribute artist” try to BE Elvis. There aren’t ANY close. The fact that YOU are looking for that in this movie tells me you are satisfied with inferior attempts, sometimes laughable over exaggerations of moves and mannerisms, to the point of making Elvis’s memory a characterization of his superior self. This ISn’t that!! It’s a movie. With an actor, that is more about feel and respect than impersonation. Did you not read my full comment? We, as true fans, are so tired of the tribute artist garbage out there. BTW, this is an outtake from the movie, so being as critical as you are about “mistakes” makes me think you really do not understand what’s going on here. Have you seen the movie? Save judgement until then. I know every little movement that Elvis has during every video performance out there. I don’t want to see anyone try to replicate that. I want to see a sincere original attempt at capturing the essence of Elvis’s impact that inspired the world and set a musical trend in motion that to this day has not been properly portrayed.
@@KNGELVIS I feel like that guy could be played an unseen film of the real Elvis in 1954-1955 with the face blurred out (if such a thing were found), and because the phrasing or his movements weren't exactly like every other film he has ever seen that he would tell us that the guy singing and playing wasn't anything like the real Elvis lol. I got into it last night with some dude who said Austin was too short to play Elvis. Nevermind that they are essentially the same exact height.....SMDH
I went to the movies kinda pissed I was expecting them to make a mockery of Elvis and my lord Austin did a phenomenal job. Great job to everyone who made this movie y’all definitely put respect on The Kings name!
That is how Austin singing all of the 50s Elvis made me feel. It wasn't that it was exactly like Elvis if put under the microscope but it worked because it was done in the proper spirit, and the cadence of his voice is typically consistent with the real Elvis. I had a feeling if it was edited correctly that unless you are a super fan who has a serious critical ear I knew this would work. It actually worked far greater than I had anticipated. What I wasn't able to necessarily tell until I watched the film last Tuesday in Nashville was that Austin Butler is such a great actor he even had me (an Elvis super fan) along for the ride accepting that he WAS Elvis. That is how convincing he is on an emotional level. I don't know how else to say this other than to say it felt like Elvis himself had possessed Austin, and even though you know you aren't looking at Elvis physically it was as if his spirit made you not see Austin anymore. The look Austin gets in his eyes is sometimes 90% of it.
Wow, Awesome cover of a great Elvis song! I can tell this will be an awesome movie and found the best actor today to nail the role of Elvis! This cover I think almost sounds identical to Elvis’ version!!
@michael leitchdon't go see the movie. It's going to do well regardless of what you think or what you continue to say online. I'm a huge Elvis fan and sure I hear the difference between Austin & Elvis but I know he is a great actor who is capturing the spirit of the man which has never happened before. As much as I love Kurt Russell, this is on a completely different level and I can't wait to see it.
@michael leitch hey instead of complaining, why can't you appreciate the humongous effort that these guys have put in? God has created each one of us unique. God created Elvis. Do you think man can replicate that?
When I first heard of this movie, I thought, "Oh, HECK NO" because I can't stand to see/hear ppl imitate him. Then, I started reading comments from many clips of the movie, and thought, "Okay, well MAYBE". Today, my daughter called and said she saw it. Told me it was well worth the 2 1/2 hours, and that this kid should absolutely win an Oscar for his performance. She said she'd love to see it again if I want to go. Now, I'M GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Caro Austin, sei particolarmente bravo ed il " tuo" Elvis mi commuove, ma soprattutto voglio ringraziarti per avere fatto " rivivere" questo amatissimo personaggio dopo 45 anni dalla sua morte!!!
Only videos that's on my list these days are from this movie.And that's all because of Austin Butler who was phenomenal as Elvis.Oscar must be in has hands!
I saw the movie last week, it was absolutely amazing. Austin sounds so much like Elvis, i would definitely watch it again. Elvis was way before my time, but i listen to his music and i love him so much, Elvis will definitely be remembered for many years.
Got tickets for the film....as an Elvis fan i wasn,t sure Austin would be any good with his portrayal of Elvis. But how wrong could i be!! He,s very talented!
STORY OF A GREAT MUCH LOVED AMERICAN LEGEND! LOOKS AND SOUNDS AMERICAN FILMED IN AUSTRALIA AMAZINGLY WELL DONE! OSCORS GALLORE FOR ELVIS THE MOVIE IS SENSATIONAL! 🙏💙
He put his real life on hold for 2 years to become this part of Elvis. That boy done did Elvis Presley proud!!!! That was amazing and over the top!!!
I KNOW ELVIS WOULD BE SO PROUD OF AUSTIN'S PORTRAYAL OF HIM.
No he worked at a job for two years that paid him millions . He didn’t put anything on hold
@Sound Logic source: trust me bro🤣
Well he did put things on hold, as we all did, no one heard of covid, he did mention that in his interviews, so it gave him time to research.
@@bonusgrooves He already put a year and a half into research before Covid. Covid only gave him 6 extra months
It's not how much he looks like Elvis. It's that he gets so much into the character, he's a great actor! What a voice as a young Elvis!
That is true , He doesn't looks like Elvis but His doing Elvis is excellent . Rami Malek looks like Mercury and his doing Mercury is also excellent that's why I think He got an Oscar .
To me he looked more like Elvis when he got the tan and sideburns.
i don't know...but i truly think he look like elvis at some scene...or if he make some facial expressions
@@asryaffendi I saw the movie, last night. You're right! He looked like Elvis because he captured him so well, especially at his last scene.
Baz was considering Harry Styles....it wouldn't have worked.
Just saw the film last night. He NAILS Elvis without being a caricature. Great job and raw talent. Wishing him the best!
This movie was meant for Austin he comes into his own seen it twice the second time insane parts that I had missed first time, absolutely brilliant thanks Baz.

Absolutely phenomenal… playing Elvis is a make or break movie in someone’s career but he absolutely NAILED it. Absolutely fantastic !!!!!! He deserves all the praise in the world.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's rare and special to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the creative process. Austin is a very special man and actor. Thank you again....
Wonder why this version wasn’t on the Elvis movie soundtrack, really digging his rendition of it.
It's so uncannily close to the Elvis original from 1953 that even die-hard fans would be hard pressed to know which track is Austin and which one is Elvis. Check it out. Here's the original.... ruclips.net/video/NmopYuF4BzY/видео.html
So awesome to see this. As a seriously devoted, lifelong Elvis fan, for the most part being disappointed by any prior attempt at re-creating what Elvis brought to the stage and a performance, it is so refreshing to see someone, without trying to look exactly like Elvis with prosthetics and makeup (impossible), without over embellishing every stereotypical Elvis move (again impossible) and instead someone just trying to tap into the moment... being committed and being real. I can't wait to see this movie. i hope i feel the same afterwards as I am feeling watching this and the two released trailers. More than anyone that has ever stepped on the big stage, ELVIS deserves a proper characterization.
@michael leitch You are not getting it. We OBVIOUSLY see the things that are not exactly like Elvis, but we are not watching a damn tribute act here. This is an actor and this is NOT simply an impersonation.
@@waylonvids thank you! Exactly! Well stated.
@michael leitch Yeah…you are missing the point completely. I don’t want to see a”tribute artist” try to BE Elvis. There aren’t ANY close. The fact that YOU are looking for that in this movie tells me you are satisfied with inferior attempts, sometimes laughable over exaggerations of moves and mannerisms, to the point of making Elvis’s memory a characterization of his superior self. This ISn’t that!! It’s a movie. With an actor, that is more about feel and respect than impersonation. Did you not read my full comment? We, as true fans, are so tired of the tribute artist garbage out there. BTW, this is an outtake from the movie, so being as critical as you are about “mistakes” makes me think you really do not understand what’s going on here. Have you seen the movie? Save judgement until then. I know every little movement that Elvis has during every video performance out there. I don’t want to see anyone try to replicate that. I want to see a sincere original attempt at capturing the essence of Elvis’s impact that inspired the world and set a musical trend in motion that to this day has not been properly portrayed.
@michael leitch Please stop. The idea of this film is to introduce Elvis to NEW fans and not old farts like you.
@@KNGELVIS I feel like that guy could be played an unseen film of the real Elvis in 1954-1955 with the face blurred out (if such a thing were found), and because the phrasing or his movements weren't exactly like every other film he has ever seen that he would tell us that the guy singing and playing wasn't anything like the real Elvis lol.
I got into it last night with some dude who said Austin was too short to play Elvis. Nevermind that they are essentially the same exact height.....SMDH
I went to the movies kinda pissed I was expecting them to make a mockery of Elvis and my lord Austin did a phenomenal job. Great job to everyone who made this movie y’all definitely put respect on The Kings name!
If you close your eyes, this SOUNDS like it could be an outtake from the original Sun session.
That is how Austin singing all of the 50s Elvis made me feel. It wasn't that it was exactly like Elvis if put under the microscope but it worked because it was done in the proper spirit, and the cadence of his voice is typically consistent with the real Elvis. I had a feeling if it was edited correctly that unless you are a super fan who has a serious critical ear I knew this would work. It actually worked far greater than I had anticipated. What I wasn't able to necessarily tell until I watched the film last Tuesday in Nashville was that Austin Butler is such a great actor he even had me (an Elvis super fan) along for the ride accepting that he WAS Elvis. That is how convincing he is on an emotional level. I don't know how else to say this other than to say it felt like Elvis himself had possessed Austin, and even though you know you aren't looking at Elvis physically it was as if his spirit made you not see Austin anymore. The look Austin gets in his eyes is sometimes 90% of it.
A ghost, he nailed it. EXCELLENT
Wow! He sounded just like Elvis!💗
AMAZINGLY GREAT! 💕💙💜❣🙏🙏
This is the difference between doing an impersonation of Elvis and becoming Elvis.
Austin absolutely perfect wonderful actor beautiful man....Deserved the oscar👏👏👏🔝❤️❤️
Wow, Awesome cover of a great Elvis song! I can tell this will be an awesome movie and found the best actor today to nail the role of Elvis! This cover I think almost sounds identical to Elvis’ version!!
It's very close for sure.
@michael leitchdon't go see the movie. It's going to do well regardless of what you think or what you continue to say online. I'm a huge Elvis fan and sure I hear the difference between Austin & Elvis but I know he is a great actor who is capturing the spirit of the man which has never happened before. As much as I love Kurt Russell, this is on a completely different level and I can't wait to see it.
@michael leitch this isn’t an impersonation contest. You are missing the point of the movie.
@michael leitch hey instead of complaining, why can't you appreciate the humongous effort that these guys have put in? God has created each one of us unique. God created Elvis. Do you think man can replicate that?
@@waylonvids true.
He may get an Oscar nom for this. Of all actors who played Elvis, he is by far the most believable
Bravo à l'artiste Austin Butler !!
I saw the movie Thurs and now I'm obsessed. It was fantastic.
Wow! How great is this actor. Cat has got Elvis down! 🎵⚡👌
Oh wow just wow . This guy is something else!
Aside from that fact he sounded more like an 70's Elvis when he spoke. The kid did pretty good work.
Terrific this is one of the reasons we as W people will NEVER b replaced. It's impossible.
Yep, he does seem to have that easy going quality that Elvis was famous for!
Nailed it
One of my very favorite Elvis songs! Simple, catchy and soulful.
That was way more than alright, mama.
wonderful excellent job I can't wait to see the movie this month
He is FN amazing. Absolutely incredible
Austin is 'pure gold' as Elvis
Oh my he sounds just like Elvis. Absolutely awesome.
Yes a job well done bear in mind some of this is a combination of Austin voise and Elvis's throughout the movie
No way
This was just him tho.. the young elvis bits were all austin。 they combined for the later years.
I can't wait to see the whole thing. Time for the King to shine again.
Wow just absolutely astounding and amazing😘
Isn't it awesome that we have what people seen and heard along time ago
I have been trying to get Elvis Strum down for 30 years, then Austin nails it beautiful!
When I first heard of this movie, I thought, "Oh, HECK NO" because I can't stand to see/hear ppl imitate him. Then, I started reading comments from many clips of the movie, and thought, "Okay, well MAYBE". Today, my daughter called and said she saw it. Told me it was well worth the 2 1/2 hours, and that this kid should absolutely win an Oscar for his performance. She said she'd love to see it again if I want to go. Now, I'M GOING TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
At first I was like oh no they've picked the wrong guy but after seeing clips I think he's maybe the perfect choice
He’s an interesting choice to play the King. He has the look of older Elvis but the singing voice of young Elvis
Hey you cannot make a person completely become another person. God creates each one of us uniquely and broke the mold every time.
Love how You did the picture in screen!
WOW!!!! AWESOME!!! Unbelievable!!!! ELVIS BACK IN THE HOUSE 💝💕😃🤩🤩
I’m in love with him full stop!
Caro Austin, sei particolarmente bravo ed il " tuo" Elvis mi commuove, ma soprattutto voglio ringraziarti per avere fatto " rivivere" questo amatissimo personaggio dopo 45 anni dalla sua morte!!!
Elvis Presley Reincarnated!!!!👏❤
He is amazing for this role. WoW!
Only videos that's on my list these days are from this movie.And that's all because of Austin Butler who was phenomenal as Elvis.Oscar must be in has hands!
I saw the movie last week, it was absolutely amazing. Austin sounds so much like Elvis, i would definitely watch it again.
Elvis was way before my time, but i listen to his music and i love him so much, Elvis will definitely be remembered for many years.
Got tickets for the film....as an Elvis fan i wasn,t sure Austin would be any good with his portrayal of Elvis. But how wrong could i be!! He,s very talented!
Do you think they will show the colonel for the sob he was ?.
Wow...I am impressed with Austin's authetication of Elvis...He really researched a lot about EP
Amazing performance- I believe he channeled Elvis
Damn, he does a great job
