“Elvis,” A New Four-Hour Mini-Series About The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, To Be Produced With The Cooperation Of The Presley Estate

 

ELVIS (four hours) is a fact-based drama about the life of Elvis Presley, one of the most famous stars the world has ever known. With the full cooperation and participation of the Elvis Presley estate, his electrifying yet tumultuous story will be told. Elvis’s rise to fame was meteoric. He was born into poverty in Tupelo, Miss., honed his musical sensibilities as a teenager in Memphis, and was universally proclaimed the King of Rock 'n' Roll by age 21. He also provided the catalyst for a revolution in music and popular culture. His life -- both public and private -- his music, his movies, his personal and professional relationships, his style and his impact will be explored. For the first time, actual master recordings of Elvis’ most famous hits will be heard in a dramatic film about him. Robert Greenblatt and David Janollari (“Six Feet Under”), Howard Braunstein and Michael Jaffe (“It Must Be Love”) are the executive producers for Jaffe/Braunstein Films, Ltd.
