The Ankler’s Jeff Sneider briefly posted about an anonymous source who has seen “Elvis”:
“Reps have equated this role to the female version of the Elvis biopic, which saw Hollywood's up-and-coming leading men jostle to curry favor with Baz Luhrmann, only for Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) to beat out bigger names such as Harry Styles and Miles Teller. Speaking of which, a source who has seen Elvis believes that Butler will receive an Oscar nomination for his performance, which they insist is going to surprise a lot of people, but they were less enthusiastic about Tom Hanks' turn as Colonel Tom Parker, or his uneven accent. Overall, they seemed to like the movie, but only to a point, which recalls the general consensus on Bohemian Rhapsody. Elvis should be so lucky, both at the box office and next year's Oscars.”
