Austin Butler’s full performances as Elvis Presley will be released, Baz Luhrmann promises.
, Luhrmann staged full concerts with Butler as the King, with only a portion making the final cut. The much-rumored “director’s cut” of the film would restore the entire performance, which also featured Butler-as-Presley’s repartee with the crowd between takes.. “There’s a whole lot of material that adds up to four hours… Austin did his concerts full out. He did all the numbers.
However, Luhrmann caveated that he won’t start work on that until 2025, at the earliest, and that the edit alone would take four to six months from there.
