Yesterday Deadline‘s Michael Fleming reported that there are just four contenders vying, and to be screen-tested, for the Elvis Presley role in Baz Luhrmann‘s upcoming biopic. Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver, West Side Story); Miles Teller (Whiplash), Harry Styles (Dunkirk) and Austin Butler (The Dead Don’t Die) are the four possibilities. The film has already cast Tom Hanks as Presley’s manager Colonel Tom Parker.
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
