We spoke to Kelvin Harrison Jr. about Elvis, playing B.B. King, and Austin Butler’s fantastic performance.
With writer-director Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis opening in theaters this weekend around the world, I recently got to speak with Kelvin Harrison Jr. about playing B.B. King in the biopic. During the interview, Butler talked about what he was surprised to learn about B.B.
As you can see in the trailers, Elvis is about the complicated relationship between Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley. The film tells Elvis’ story from Parker’s point of view, and it spans over two decades and includes Presley’s rise to fame against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Butler is superb in the role and actually sings Presley’s early songs in the film. His performance alone is reason to see the film. Elvis also stars Helen Thomson as Elvis’s mother, Gladys, Richard Roxburgh as Elvis’s father, Vernon, Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley, Luke Bracey as Jerry Schilling, Natasha Bassett as Dixie Locke, David Wenham as Hank Snow, Xavier Samuel as Scotty Moore, and Kodi Smit-McPhee as Jimmie Rodgers Snow.
