Finally, the much-awaited trailer for Elvis is out. The Warner Bros. Pictures drama Elvis, starring Austin Butler in the titular role and Oscar winner Tom Hanks, is directed by Oscar-nominated creative filmmaker Baz Luhrmann.

The film examines Elvis Presley's (Butler) life and music through the lens of his tumultuous relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). It explores the complicated relationship between Presley and Parker over the course of 20 years, from Presley's ascent to prominence to his extraordinary stardom, all set against the backdrop of America's changing cultural environment and loss of innocence. At the heart of that trip is Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge), one of Elvis' most significant and influential people.
