The King of Rock and Roll is back on the charts, but this time it is in the world of streaming. Baz Luhrmann, the visionary director behind the 2022 “Elvis” biopic, has released a brand-new documentary titled “EPiC”, which has quickly become a global sensation.
The documentary offers an unprecedented look into Elvis Presley’s legendary 1970s Las Vegas residency. What sets “EPiC” apart from previous documentaries is the inclusion of never-before-seen 16mm footage captured by fans and crew members, digitally restored to stunning 4K quality. Viewers are treated to intimate backstage moments and electrifying stage performances that showcase Elvis at the height of his “jumpsuit era.”
Luhrmann’s signature style is evident throughout the documentary, blending historical context with high-energy editing. The film also features interviews with Priscilla Presley, Jerry Schilling, and modern musical icons who discuss the lasting impact of Elvis’s Vegas years on contemporary pop culture.
In conjunction with the documentary’s release, Graceland has announced a new exhibition titled “The Vegas Years,” featuring several of the iconic jumpsuits seen in the film. The exhibition includes the famous “Aloha from Hawaii” suit and the “Peacock” jumpsuit, both of which have been meticulously preserved.
“EPiC” is currently streaming on all major platforms and is a must-watch for both lifelong fans and a new generation of Elvis enthusiasts.
