At Graceland, Elvis begins storyboarding the karate movie project, now entitled “The New Gladiators”. Envisioning the project as a metaphor for mankind defending the defenseless, the proposed final scene is described thusly: “On a remote hill the camera is on a close-up of Elvis as he stands in fighting stance. The camera zooms back… and we see what looks like (an army of fellow martial artists) doing the moves with him.
