Product Information

Months of rehearsals led to the start of production in Australia in January 2020. Butler worked with voice and movement coaches to organically channel Presley whenever Luhrmann wanted to “unleash” Butler to improvise in character. That March, Hanks and wife Rita Wilson became the first Hollywood stars to announce they’d tested positive for COVID-19, and the “Elvis” production was shut down. The Daily Mail obtained photos of Kaia and Austin jet-setting together in Paris. The couple was snapped leaving a hotel together.

People even shared a clip of the couple kissing on the red carpet.

News that the reason was "a matter of distance" and due to conflicting work schedules. Hudgens was working on The Princess Switch: Switched Again and Butler was filming for Elvis. With ‘Elvis,’ I definitely had an existential crisis when I finished. I didn’t do anything that was grounded in Austin for that time. I didn’t talk to my family or my friends or anybody,” Butler told IndieWire. “I would talk to them every couple months or something, but I really did lose touch with me. But I also learned things about myself — that’s a beautiful gift. It’s a confusing part about being an actor.” I was sort of embarrassed about some of the things that I had to do,” Butler admitted in 2022. “But I had to cut my teeth somewhere, so I decided to treat each one of these jobs as a way to grow.” Vanessa and Austin are officially broken up, and Vanessa has been telling those close to her about their breakup," a source told US Weekly.

Butler starred in 10 episodes of the beloved series, all while making guest appearances in fellow teen shows “iCarly,”“Wizards of Waverly Place,” and Out of Jimmy’s Head.” For Butler, understanding Elvis’ influences and inspirations helped inform how he portrayed the artist’s evolution and signatures. Everyone has some notion of who Elvis was, “but what gets lost is that the guy is just a guy — it’s the humanity of him,” Luhrmann said. “My number one mission was to humanize him. And that might have been my mission, but Austin Butler was the one that flew the plane. ... It was probably the hardest thing. This is the most impersonated man on the planet. But the humanity, Austin had from the get-go.”

Adapted from Danny Lyon’s book, “The Bikeriders” follows the rise and fall of a fictional 1960s motorcycle club in the Midwest. Michael Shannon, Mike Faist and Norman Reedus round out the ensemble. Butler appeared in two episodes of “Hannah Montana,” with his second appearance playing Derek Hanson, Hannah’s blind date in Season 2 Episode 7, titled “My Best Friend’s Boyfriend.” By July, after undergoing months of Elvis workshops — and an unsolicited call from Broadway co-star Washington, who told Luhrmann, “You’re in for a surprise when you see the work ethic of this young man,” said the director — Butler had beaten out the likes of Miles Teller and Harry Styles for the role. Then the work of finding and translating Presley’s heart and soul began. He summed up, “I was doing these TV shows that were really fun, and some people really dug them. But I didn’t feel fulfilled as an artist. I just wasn’t being challenged in the way that I wanted to.”Callum Turner, Anthony Boyle, Ben Radcliffe, Edward Ashley, and James Murray are among the ensemble cast for the WWII-set series which is being produced in part with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television banner, along with Hanks’ Playtone. Consider it the third part of a trilogy with “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” Ocean’s 8” screenwriter Olivia Milch directed Netflix film “Dude” about a group of teenage girls who grapple with graduating high school. Lucy Hale, Alexandra Shipp, Kathryn Prescott, and Awkwafina star, along with Alex Wolff, Austin Abrams, and of course, Butler.
