Did Elvis ever really leave the building?
In the nearly 50 years since his death at 42, Elvis Presley’s legacy has evolved into a uniquely American iconography. That combination of twang, rhinestones, and hip gyrations that screams “Elvis!!” continues to fuel a zeitgeist of impersonators and pop-culture references. But as Elvis the brand echoes on, the man himself can feel increasingly distant.
EPiC, 2026Few have worked harder to close that gap than director Baz Luhrmann, who has spent the better part of the last decade bringing a fully fleshed-out Elvis into the 21st century — first with his 2022 biopic Elvis, and now with the documentary EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, which opens at The Triplex this Friday. Built from newly rediscovered and restored concert footage, along with an in-depth interview with Presley reflecting on his life, Luhrmann crafts a concert film–documentary hybrid that pairs Presley’s trademark spectacle with moments of surprising introspection.
EPiC, 2026The result is a welcome blast from the past that puts you in the room with Elvis, revealing the thought, nerves, and buckets of sweat that went into creating the King of Rock and Roll. EPiC reminds us that there is a human being at the center of this swaggering icon — and that art powerful enough to endure always begins with a beating heart.
