"If you feel it, you can't hep but move to it." Neon has debuted the magnificent full trailer for the acclaimed concert documentary called EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, from Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann as his follow-up to his own movie Elvis a few years back. This premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last fall – and it opens in theaters worldwide starting in late February 2026 coming up soon. Including in IMAX! Rock on! EPiC features long-lost footage from Elvis 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." This is not just a concert doc, this is not just another musician biopic, it's so much more! A whole new look at the life & times & music of Elvis and his final years on stage in Vegas. This looks like a truly fascinating and exciting big screen event – going back in time to experience what it would've been like to see Elvis live in Las Vegas. Very cool.
Here's the main trailer (+ poster) for Baz Luhrmann's doc EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert,
From TIFF: "Baz Luhrmann returns to the subject of his most audacious film — 2022’s Elvis — with the extraordinary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Free of contemporary interviews with experts, critics, other stakeholders, the film is propelled by recently discovered archival footage shot at the beginning of the famed performer's Las Vegas residency. Originally intended to last a few weeks at the hotel, the 1969 engagement was shockingly lucrative, and stretched on for over seven years. Brilliantly compiled with an aficionado's enthusiasm & sensitivity, it shifts skilfully between rehearsals, where Presley is cheerful, hard-working, even goofy, and live performances that vary from powerful and grandiose to rushed." EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, director of the movies Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia (+ "Faraway Downs"), The Great Gatsby, and the big Elvis movie previously. It's produced by Baz Luhrmann, Jeremy Castro, Schuyler Weiss, Matthew Gross, Colin Smeeton. Neon will release Luhrmann's EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert doc in IMAX for one week on February 20th, 2026 - then in theaters worldwide starting on February 27th this year.
