Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” Received A 12-Minute Standing Ovation At Cannes
I’ve never been to the Cannes Film Festival, but I imagine there’s a lot of preparation and planning involved if you want to attend, even if it’s just as an audience member. Because The Cannes Clap is no joke and I’m not talking about the one that will have you dipping out to the nearest pharmacie for some antibiotiques. I’m talking about the standing ovations, like the 12-minute palm-punisher Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis received after its screening on Tuesday. As everybody knows, you don’t go to a Cannes screening without having done everything in your power to build up the thickest, gnarliest callouses required to endure the gauntlet of The Cannes Clap. And it’s no walk in the park for those on the receiving end either.
Lisa Marie Presley Says She’ll Eat Her Own Foot If Austin Butler Doesn’t Win An Oscar For “Elvis”
Some of us might have watched the first official trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s biopic, Elvis, and thought Elvis was a weird name for a movie that looks like it’s about Grease-era John Travolta. Maybe some of us shady types who think Austin Butler wouldn’t even place 5th runner up in an Elvis Presley look-a-like contest at a Florida state fair should wait until the movie comes out and stop judging a book based on its trailer. Because Lisa Marie Presley, someone who could be considered an expert on all things Elvis, believes that Austin Butler’s performance as The King is so good, he may as well start practicing his Best Actor acceptance speech for the 2023 Academy Awards in the mirror right now.
Here’s The First Trailer For Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” Starring Austin Butler
It’s been almost three years since relative newcomer Austin Butler was announced to star in Elvis, Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic. At the time he won the role it was down to him, Ansel Elgort, and Miles Teller. Ansel went on to jinx West Side Story at the box office while ducking accusations of sexual misconduct, and Miles went on to star in Top Gun 2: Never Gonna Happen and get punched by a wedding planner while partying with Aaron Rodgers in Hawaii. So it looks like they made the right choice. But after seeing the trailer, I’m not so sure they made the right choice in casting Tom Hanks as Elvis’ manager Colonel Tom Parker, a role that clearly should have gone to Jared Leto based on the sheer amount of prosthetics they plastered on him to play a man nobody even knows or cares what he looked like anymore.
Kaia Gerber Was Seen With Vanessa Hudgen’s Ex Austin Butler And Olivia Jade Was Seen With Kaia’s Ex Jacob Elordi
Minor tremors were felt throughout the LA basin this week as a 2.5 love-quake rocked the very shallow dating pool of 19-25(ish) year-old IT(ish) boys and girls. The Daily Mail reports that a light sloshing occurred when Kaia Gerber’s recently ex-boyfriend Jacob Elordi and noodle-armed ex-collage rower Olivia Jade were “spotted enjoying an afternoon pick-me-up with several friends before exploring the neighborhood with Jacob’s dog leading the way.” Not to be out-splashed by a failed aquatic sportsperson, Kaia and Vanessa Hudgens ex-boyfriend Austin Butler were spotted “attending a yoga class together on Sunday morning before heading off in Kaia’s car.” I’ve studied the photographs of the damage supplied by The Daily Mail carefully and can report that of these two seismic shifts, the pairing of Kaia and Austin is the more significant of the two. You know, from a geological perspective. Honestly, I don’t even know who let Olivia in the pool in the first place, considering she probably can’t even swim or book an audition for The CW.
Vanessa Hudgens And Austin Butler Are Reportedly Over After Nine Years Together
For some Millennials, Vanessa Hudgens was and will always be Gabriella Montez, and her true love is either Zac Efron or Troy Bolton (depending on your level of delusion). So for those people, this news will no doubt have them dreaming up a fantasy in which Vanessa returns to East High for her 10-year reunion and hooks up with Zac/Troy in the back of a 2009 Chevy Malibu after too many vodka-spiked imported English iced teas. But for the rest of us, we’re sitting here with the knowledge that Vanessa has called it quits with her boyfriend of nearly a decade, the soon-to-be-Elvis Austin Butler.
Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Biopic Has Found Its Priscilla Presley
And as you can see, it’s not Lana Del Rey. Thoughts and prayers to Lana Del Rey today, as she’s been training for this her whole life (or at least her post-Lizzy Grant life), only to be knocked out in the final round. If you need Lana, she’ll sadly sipping a Pepsi from the back of a 1968 Firebird while wearing a faded vintage pastel blue pleated chiffon prom dress. She was going to do that anyway, but today she has a reason for it.
