Baz Luhrmann announced that his latest film, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, showcases a never-before-seen side of Elvis Presley through 59 hours of unseen footage and recordings. During a special preview screening, Luhrmann shared that this film represents a significant and unexpected experience in his career. The team’s rigorous search for unseen materials was initially aimed at sourcing footage for the 2022 biopic, Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks.

The project took a deep dive into the archival vaults, specifically addressing rumors about undiscovered footage from Elvis's Las Vegas concerts in the 1970s. Researchers ventured into the vast Warner Bros film vaults, which are stored in underground salt mines in Kansas, uncovering a treasure trove comprising 69 boxes of film negatives. Not only did they find visual materials, but they also discovered audio recordings of Presley discussing his creative process, which further adds depth to the documentary imagery.

As excitement builds for the film's release on February 19, audiences are eagerly anticipating a more intimate portrayal of Elvis Presley than has been previously available. This documentary aims to connect viewers with the artist on a deeper level, exploring the personal narratives behind his iconic performances, and promising a fresh perspective on the cultural icon that continues to captivate audiences today.
