(Photo by Archive Photos/Getty Images) Getty Images Several weeks ago, Elvis Presley debuted a new album on a number of Billboard charts. The set, titled Epic: Elvis Presley In Concert, accompanied a movie of the same name directed by Baz Luhrmann. The Australian filmmaker spent years working with Presley’s estate to finally bring his life story to the big screen in what turned out to be the Oscar-nominated, Austin Butler-starring Elvis. Several years later, Luhrmann utilized never-before-seen performance footage to create something of a documentary and something of a performance film, Epic, which was paired with the soundtrack of
