Cinematographer Mandy Walker reportedly shot the entire film using a combination of ARRI ALEXA 65, LF, and Panaflex System 65 cameras with custom As mentioned, Baz Luhrmann co-wrote the story itself here (with Jeremy Doner) and then collaborated with a few other writers on the screenplay. Doner is known for working as a writer on some episodes of TV shows such as “The Killing” (2001) and “Damages” (2007). Both of the other co-writers on the screenplay [Sam Bromell and Craig Pearce] have worked with Baz on past projects. Namely, Craig Pearce also co-wrote the screenplays for “Strictly Ballroom”, “Romeo + Juliet”, “Moulin Rouge!”, and “The Great Gatsby”. And Sam Bromwell had co-written numerous short films that Baz Luhrmann directed over the years. In terms of video quality, this comes from a digital 4.5K and 6.5K source and then received a 4K master. The 4K presentation is downright stunning all throughout and really has a lot of “pop” to it. It also features all three of the current high dynamic range types: HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HDR10+. It’s on a BD-100 and that was a wise choice for a film with a runtime of 2 hours and 39 minutes, as it never misses a beat. This looks quite wonderful in 4K here on 4K UHD Blu-ray.

The movie was shot digitally in 4.5K and 6.5K resolutions using the Arri Alexa 65 and Arri Alexa LF cameras with special Panavision Primo, Sphero 65, T-Series “Elvis” and Petzval Lenses. Essentially, what Baz Luhrmann describes is that they used different lenses for the three different decades that are primarily focused on Elvis Presley’s life here. The director actually said the following (below) in one of the extras included with this release.

The film was made with a variety of cameras that included a customized lens specifically for the film that gave certain sequences their unique style. The color palette is a brilliant rainbow of colors and tones. One thing that really sets this film apart from any other biographies about Elvis is the fact that the actor here (Austin Butler) actually performed the songs himself for the most part mixed in with some of the real-life Elvis. As much as I love the 1979 TV Movie “Elvis” directed by John Carpenter, I can’t say that Kurt Russell performed those songs himself like in this 2022 film with Butler. That really sets it apart more than anything, aside from telling things from the narrative perspective of “Colonel Tom Parker” which is genius. It plays out a bit like some sort of “Sympathy for the Devil” of sorts, and again Hanks delivers one unforgettable performance here as what most would consider an unlikeable person or conceivably even villain. That all being said, I won’t tell you the whole story here in my review of Elvis Presley’s life, in fact, the film doesn’t entirely do so 100% accurately, but I will say that this film manages to do one fantastic job of telling the story [as best as possible] and is an absolute must-see film for any fan of Elvis or those curious about the man, his life, and the music he performed. The story here is told from a very unique perspective with narrative all throughout from the view of Elvis’s infamous manager “Colonel Tom Parker” (portrayed here by Tom Hanks). We see Elvis’s childhood upbringing, growing up in poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi, and then eventually moving to Memphis, Tennessee. Also, you’ll see Elvis really did have love at an early age for attending and sometimes even sneaking into gospel tents to hear the music, which influenced him dearly. As a teenager and throughout Elvis is portrayed by actor Austin Butler. During his later teenage years, you’ll get to see some of Elvis’s struggle to work a job as an electrician (appropriately enough for a company called “Crown”), and see that when he’s not working he is listening to music around the historic Beale Street in Memphis, where the Blues was born.
