Theater News Base: Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the late Elvis Presley, praised the acting of “Elvis”.
Lisa Marie praises Austin Butler as the singer before the world premiere of Lormann’s “Elvis” at the Cannes Film Festival. In this film, Tom Hanks also plays the role of Elvis’s infamous director, Colonel Tom Parker.
The daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley has seen Lorman twice and written on social media that she is very happy with what she saw.
“It’s just spectacular,” he said. Completely original. Austin Butler beautifully embodies my father’s heart and soul. What he has done is unprecedented and has been done with the utmost care and respect. He should be given an Oscar for this.

He added: “I want to show the audience that Elvis is not just a singer but he was a rebel; The first real youth uprising with pop culture at the grassroots level.
He jokingly refers to the film as “Apocalypse Now,” a musical film presented in the 1970s; Extensive, beautiful and powerful.
Lorman said Presley’s life is included in three scenes. An Elvis punk rock, an insurgent and then an Elvis of the 1970s who is an epic figure.
“Elvis” will have its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival and will hit theaters in the United States on June 24.
