Elvis (2022) [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Sony Music will release a 50th Anniversary 2 Blu-ray 5 CD Boxset of the '68 Comeback Special' in November. With Elvis’ upcoming concert activities increasing, future studio time would be limited and so the goal of these sessions was to generate perhaps a year’s worth of new songs.

The slight softening of the image around the edges of the frame and within it as a result of the anamorphic process employed and those custom lenses seems perfectly apt for the period and isn’t as obtrusive at all as one might suspect. Disc 3 was recorded live on April 14, 1972, at Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, North Carolina, and contains all previously unreleased material.

For a slightly warmer take on Elvis and a more detailed synopsis of the story, please refer to Brian Orndorf's theatrical review.

We've entered the 70s now and Elvis has gained quite a bit of weight and just doesn't dance like he did in 'Jailhouse Rock. Special features include Bigger Than Life: The Story of Elvis, Rock ‘n’ Roll: Royalty: The Music and Artists Behind Elvis, Fit for a King: The Style of Elvis, Viva Australia: Recreating Iconic Locations for Elvis and a lyric video for Presley’s song, “Trouble.

Baz Luhrmann has crafted a stylistic dream of a cinematic experience, bringing together all his experience of Moulin Rouge’s musical explosion and The Great Gatsby’s peak into the soul of a larger-than-life character and produced a sensorial feast that offers a tantalising look behind the curtain of the battle for one of music’s most legendary souls. The 42-year-old singer was found unresponsive on the bathroom floor of his Graceland mansion on Aug. The double-disc release contains the 2001 Special Edition on Blu-ray and the 1970 theatrical version on DVD. And rare Elvis Presley live versions and outtakes were handpicked to find the best matching songs for the scenes.
