The Australian director, screenwriter and producer Baz Luhrmann will present the world premiere of his film along with Tom Hanks, Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonge. 
 
According to the Cannes festival, the film "explores the life and music of `The King` Elvis Presley (Austin Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks).
