    • Trivia
      For his audition tape, Austin Butler originally recorded himself singing "Love Me Tender." When he watched it, he felt like it was an Elvis impersonation, and refused to submit it. A few days later, he had a nightmare that his deceased mother was dying again. Overwhelmed with grief and with the Elvis audition still on his mind, he decided to pour his emotion into music. Thinking of the lyrics to "Unchained Melody," he remembered, "I always take it for granted that that's to a romantic partner, [but] what if I sing that to my mom?" He sat down at the piano in his bathrobe and filmed it. "And that way of channeling those emotions just felt true," the actor said. The video immediately caught director Baz Luhrmann's attention, as he was both confused and intrigued. Luhrmann stated, "Was it an audition? Or was he having a breakdown?" The director expressed that the audition felt like a spycam. Luhrmann asked to meet with Butler and eventually gave him the part.

    Beautiful Piece of Art
    What a gorgeous, exhilarating, heart breaking film. Austin Butler must be channeling the spirit of The King - his dancing, his voice, his singing, it's all such a beautiful tribute to a legendary performer. The pace of the movie is frantic, in Baz Luhrman's typical style. I got a bit tired of the Colonel's narration, but in a way it adds to the feel of the awful control the man had over Elvis and his career. It's a stunning achievement that could not have been made if Butler didn't perfect his performance. Loved it.
