“I’d like to talk to you a little bit, ladies and gentlemen, about how I got in this business. There’s been a lot written and a lot said but never from my side of the story…” Neon has revealed the first look teaser for the acclaimed new concert documentary called EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, from Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann as his follow-up to his own movie Elvis a few years ago. This premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival a few months ago – and opens in theaters worldwide starting in late February 2026 coming soon. EPiC features long-lost footage from Elvis Presley’s legendary Vegas residency in the 1970s, woven together with rare 16mm footage from Elvis on Tour and treasured 8mm film from the Graceland archive, along with rediscovered recordings of Elvis telling “his side of the story.” This is not just a concert doc, this is not just another musician biopic, it’s so much more! A whole new look at the life & times & music of Elvis and his final years on stage in Vegas. It’ll also play for one week in IMAX before showing in regular theaters.

Here’s the first look teaser trailer for Baz Luhrmann’s doc EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, on YouTube:

From TIFF: “Baz Luhrmann returns to the subject of his most audacious film — 2022’s Elvis — with the extraordinary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Free of contemporary interviews with experts, critics, other stakeholders, the film is propelled by recently discovered archival footage shot at the beginning of the famed performer’s Las Vegas residency. Originally intended to last a few weeks at the hotel, the 1969 engagement was shockingly lucrative, and stretched on for over seven years. Brilliantly compiled with an aficionado’s enthusiasm & sensitivity, it shifts skilfully between rehearsals, where Presley is cheerful, hard-working, even goofy, and live performances that vary from powerful and grandiose to rushed.” EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, director of the movies Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia (+ “Faraway Downs”), The Great Gatsby, and the big Elvis movie previously. It’s produced by Baz Luhrmann, Jeremy Castro, Schuyler Weiss, Matthew Gross, Colin Smeeton. Neon will release Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert doc in IMAX for one week on February 20th, 2026 – then in theaters worldwide starting on February 27th next year.
