Cannes hosts the world premiere of Elvis Presley’s movie

Australian director Baz Luhrmann’s new biography of Elvis Presley will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, organizers announced Tuesday.
Tom Hanks, who plays legendary singer Colonel Tom Parker’s agent, will be among the stars attending the world premiere of the Elvis movie ahead of its worldwide release from June 22-24.

Relatively obscure artist Austin Pastler stars in the new review film of the Australian director and writer, who was the first person to open the Cannes Film Festival twice, with “Moulin Rouge” in 2001 and “Gatsby” in 2013.

Elvis will not be shown at the festival’s opening this year due to a new rule on opening night films that release globally on the same day.

The huge movie “Top Gun: Maverick”, starring Tom Cruise, will also be shown during the Cannes Festival, which takes place this year from May 17 to 28.

The films participating in the upcoming edition of the 75th edition of the festival are scheduled to be revealed later this month.
