Watch ‘Elvis’ Director Baz Luhrmann Talk About Working With Austin Butler & How The Film Was Like Making Shakespeare – DeadlineContenders + LA3Cofficial
For Luhrmann, taking on the Presley story went beyond the historical and more into the personal.
“I grew up in a very tiny country town; [my family] ran a cinema,” Luhrmann said. “So we had [an] Elvis matinee; he was in my life early. [Making] it wasn’t so much I said ‘I had to do a biopic,’ it was more in the same way like Shakespeare will take a historical figure into a larger idea. But it’s really a film about jealousy.
Luhrmann also explained how Presley was such a disruptive force in prudish culture, especially with the wiggling and gyrating onstage. “It took us a lot of science to get that right.” Luhrmann said. “There was an atomic reaction in the audience — that audience wanted to eat Elvis, you know? And women just wanted to tear him to pieces. There was something about that almost spiritual existence onstage that is a gift beyond dance or choreography.”
