While I don't think any of the five names being bandied about are right on I think you can guess my preference of the five, given the above image and my well-documented predilections, for which one I'd choose to play Elvis in Baz Luhrmann's forthcoming biopic. The five actors are Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Miles Teller, Harry Styles (I hesitate to call him an actor -- and don't yell "Dunkirk" at me, nobody had to act in that movie), Ansel Elgort, and Austin Butler.
The only one of them I don't know is the latter, although I've seen his name around; the other three are either a firm no thank you (Teller and Elgort) or an "I suppose, if you must" (Styles). But I'm not nuts about any of them to be honest, even Aaron who feels a little old at this point? (Which is probably crazy cuz dude is only 29.) Anyway...

ReplyDeletei don’t know if he can act but i’m sure baz can over direct him
I agree. Baz Luhrmann will over direct. His Great Gatsby was dreadful. Way to ruin images like the light at the end of Daisy's dock and the beautiful shirts, Baz. Furthermore, A butler stands there next to a telephone and doesn't call anyone after at the end? He's alone at the end! But I digress. There's a marvelous TV movie with Kurt Russell as Elvis and Shelley Winters as his mother. It was beautifully directed by Daniel Mann. We don't need a new bio made by such an over the top director.
ReplyDeleteI wish they would reissue movies to theaters. There are hundreds of movies I would like to see and see on the big screen!
I love Harry Styles, but he is completely wrong for Elvis. Agreed that Ansel and Miles are also wrong (neither of them have the dangerous sex appeal that made Elvis a star). I guess Aaron is the best of the choices, but I'm not enthusiastic about it. There must be someone else who can do this!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Elvis will always be Luke Bilyk on Legends of Tomorrow 'cause the guy did an amazing job and that's just that
ReplyDeletewhile scrolling down your page, i thought "maybe Joe Keery?"
ReplyDeleteOr,or...if Joe Keery and Dacre Montgomery could have a baby...shoot, forget about Elvis, I'd rather watch that.
