On Wednesday, February 18th, fans can be among the first to see EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert in IMAX by attending EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert early access screenings. The release will allow audiences around the world to immerse themselves into a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience, hearing Elvis perform and tell his story like never before, with the unmatched power of IMAX. The film will have a 1-week exclusive IMAX run starting on Friday, February 20.
From Sony Music Vision, Bazmark, and Authentic Studios, the film debuted to critical acclaim and a standing ovation at the Toronto International Film Festival, people even danced in the aisles. Vogue hailed the movie as “a burst of concert-film adrenaline,” while Variety described it as “One of the Most Exciting Concert Films You’ve Ever Seen.” EPiC features long-lost footage from Presley’s legendary Vegas residency in the 1970s, woven together with rare 16mm footage from Elvis on Tour and treasured 8mm film from the Graceland archive, along with rediscovered recordings of Elvis telling ‘his side of the story,’.
EPiC marks Luhrmann’s second major project centered around Elvis Presley, following Elvis in 2022, which earned eight Academy Award® nominations, won multiple BAFTA’s® and Golden Globes®, and grossed nearly $300 million worldwide. With EPiC, Luhrmann transforms unearthed archival material into an electrifying cinematic odyssey that captures Elvis at his best; raw, human, eccentrically humorous, intimate and electric.
