🎬 The King Reclaims the Spotlight: Baz Luhrmann’s “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert” Premieres at Graceland

On January 8 — a date forever cherished by music fans around the world as Elvis Presley’s birthday — Graceland was the setting for a truly historic cinematic moment. Director Baz Luhrmann, the creative force behind the acclaimed 2022 biopic Elvis, returned to Memphis to unveil his newest film: EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. The U.S. premiere was far more than a typical red-carpet affair — it was a pilgrimage for the King’s devotees. Fans adorned in leather, rhinestones, and Presley memorabilia flocked to Elvis’s iconic estate to be among the first to experience this fresh and immersive look at his live performance legacy.

Unlike Luhrmann’s earlier narrative film, EPiC dives deeply into the electrifying force of Presley’s live showmanship during his legendary 1970s concert era. Crafted from restored never-before-seen footage — including rare 16 mm and 8 mm film unearthed from archives — the documentary strives to capture not just the sound, but the visceral energy of Elvis onstage like never before.

The atmosphere at Graceland was electric. For longtime fans, the screening was a chance to relive the thrill of Elvis live in concert; for a new generation of attendees, including invited content creators and journalists, it served as an introduction to the roots of modern superstardom. By choosing Elvis’s own home for the debut and aligning the event with his birthday celebrations, Luhrmann and the Presley estate honored the King’s enduring legacy while bridging the gap between nostalgia and contemporary cultural storytelling.

As Luhrmann puts it, “Elvis wasn’t just a singer — he was a force of nature whose music and presence reshaped popular culture.” With EPiC, audiences are invited to stand front and center in that remarkable spectacle.
