Tom Hanks är klar för rollen som "Överste" Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager i Baz Luhrmann's kommande biografiska film om Elvis. Det är tidningen Variety som idag rapporterar detta. Kan bli en intressant film, Hanks filmer som baseras på verkligheten brukar vara riktiga höjdare, med Rädda meninge Ryan som höjdpunkt.

Citat från Appen Showbox:
Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks has been cast as Elvis Presley's manager Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann and Warner Bros' as yet untitled biopic about the iconic rock and roll star. Way back in 2014, it was reported that an Elvis biopic was in the works with Luhrmann in talks to direct. Since then there's been little in the way of news, but it now seems that the project is finally moving forward somewhat.

Luhrmann's biopic is by no means the first time Elvis Presley's life has been adapted for the screen. In 2005 Jonathan Rhys Myers portrayed the rock legend in a CBS mini-series titled Elvis and more recently he was played by Michael Shannon in the 2016 comedy-drama Elvis & Nixon, which were both received well by critics. Luhrmann's film, however, will be the first definitive biopic about Presley.
