EPIC - Elvis Presley in Concert (Film)
Experience Elvis as you've never seen him before with Baz Luhrmann's documentary/concert film "EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert".
While working on his 2022 film "Elvis," Baz Luhrmann and his team uncovered a true treasure trove of long-forgotten film negatives and footage in Warner Brothers' archives. The material originally comes from the documentaries "Elvis: The Way It Is" (depicting his Las Vegas residency in August 1970) and "Elvis On Tour" (filmed during his US tour in 1972), as well as never-before-seen 8mm footage and previously unheard audio, where Elvis Presley himself talks about his life. Luhrmann and his team spent several years restoring this material in collaboration with Oscar-nominated Jonathan Redmond, Peter Jackson's Park Road Post Production, and a host of other contributors. What emerged – in addition to Presley's iconic and unparalleled live energy – was the man behind the myth: “completely relaxed on stage, able to feel the genuine love of his fans and communicate with an intimacy and humanity like no other artist,” as Luhrmann describes it.
The finished film stands as a testament to Elvis' 1970s performances, which were astonishingly ahead of their time. A tribute to an era and an artist who forever changed popular music. With restored visual and audio material, every detail appears sharper than ever before, allowing both dedicated fans and new generations to experience Elvis as if they were there themselves.
