Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis To Premiere At The Cannes Film Festival

A day after confirming that Top Gun: Maverick will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, another anticipated summer release will premiere at the festival. Deadline confirmed that while no specific date for the Cannes premiere has been set, the film will indeed screen for the first time at the festival.

Baz Luhrmann wrote the film with Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce and Jeremy Doner, and he produced with Gail Berman, Catherine Martin, Patrick McCormick and Schuyler Weiss. Elvis will star Austin Butler in the title role.

No comment from Warner Bros., but expect Elvis to be part of the lineup when the festival announces shortly.
