Hoy les enseñaré cómo es el verdadero… “Elvis”
La película explora la vida de Elvis Presley, vista a través del prisma de la complicada relación que mantuvo con su manager, Tom Parker.
La historia profundiza en la compleja dinámica entre Presley y Parker, que se extendió durante más de 20 años, desde el ascenso a la fama de Presley hasta la consolidación de su estrellato sin precedentes, con un paisaje cultural en evolución y la pérdida de la inocencia de Estados Unidos como trasfondo. Como parte clave de ese viaje se alza una de las personas más significativas e influyentes en la vida de Elvis: Priscilla Presley.
Estreno: 14 de julio de 2022 en Cines.
La película está dirigida por Baz Luhrmann y cuenta con las actuaciones de Austin Butler, Tom Hanks, Helen Thomson, Richard Roxburgh, Olivia DeJonge, Luke Bracey, Natasha Bassett, David Wenham, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Kate Mulvany, Gareth Davies, Charles Grounds, Kodi Smit McPhee, Josh McConville, Shonka Dukureh, Adam Dunn, Yola, Gary Clark Jr., Leon Ford, Alton Mason, Xavier Samuel y Dacre Montgomery.

Sitting here thinking about how—given where we sit technologically and the ethics of our age—we faced n alternate reality wherein Disney could have decided to do Wakanda Forever with a CGI Chadwick Boseman as its leading man, AI voice and all, taking the repugnant choices they made in Rogue One and pushing it to its next logical step.
I will not say we dodged a bullet so much as were granted a reprieve before it was fired. It’s only a matter of time before something like this is done: all it takes is one grieving relative pushed to a noxious agreement and a big media company amoral enough to consider it a good idea.
Which is, to be clear, all of them. If they thought Wakanda Forever would make one dollar more with a puppet-Boseman than without, they’d have done it, and churned through whatever creative staff they needed-to until they found creatures willing to make it happen.
Perhaps next year. I would not be shocked to see something like it in the next five.
(Jon Favreau and Gareth Edwards proudly present Disney’s Wakanda Forever, starring Chadwick Boseman, Shonka Dukureh, and Sidney Poitier.
It’s got a great post-credits scene where we see that Shuri has teamed up with the Walt Disney and Wernher von Braun, who are building a rocket ship to set up the Captain Marvel/Guardians 4 crossover, where Alan Rickman will play M.O.D.O.K.
You’re welcome.)
(As always, go read Connie Willis novel Remake, which predicted this in 1994.)
