Elvis: The Mini-Series
Jonathan Rhys Meyers of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III and BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM delivers a definitive performance in the acclaimed mini series event that depicts Elvis from 50s teen outcast to worldwide sensation, through his grim decline to spectacular 68 comeback. Experience the triumphs and tragedies, excesses and affairs, madness and music of The King Of Rock & Roll, featuring a stellar cast that includes Emmy® and Golden Globe® winner Camryn Manheim as his beloved mother Gladys, Oscar® nominee Randy Quaid as the notorious Colonel Parker, Robert Patrick as Vernon Presley, and Rose McGowan as Ann-Margret.Elvis: The Miniseries was produced with the cooperation of the Presley empire, and it shows: this 173-minute opus uses Elvis’s original recordings and real Graceland locations. The official imprimatur might also account for the movie’s emphasis on the good years: what we get here is the early rise to fame, the Army interlude, then a run through the increasingly dispiriting movie car

I hate biopics…the stars are never as interesting or charismatic as the artists they portray and they just come across as second class…TV!
well…I passed on this when it ran on the tube…and I WAS WRONG! This is off the hook good…the star gets Elvis…the shyness, the enthusiasm, the desire for fame….the naive little boy in the ever evolving sex symbol package, Randy Quaid is dead on perfect as the Colonel..and the rest of the cast does not dissapoint.
I am telling you…the recreations are breathtakingly cool.. these producers GOT IT…and GOT IT RIGHT…
this is from a very very hard to please skeptic…
Elvis fans will love it…casual fans who may be interested because of all the press on Elvis this week (30th anniversary of his passing)..this would be a great place to learn about The King!

As a life long Elvis fan this was one of the better movies about the ‘King’! Of course there is nothing like the original…but this movie covered alot of territory that has not been touched upon before. I was glad to finally see a portrayal of Colonel Tom Parker as he really was suppose to be..a real CREEP! This film finally shows just how deep Elvis got in with Parker, and in the end did stand up for himself. Having been to Graceland, the realism of the filming being done in Memphis(for certain scenes) was the best. The supporting actors are also great! Besides getting to the truth on Parker we get to see that Elvis and Ann-Margret were involved as she attests to in her bio, and now we get to see what really happened. I have seen this movie several times thanks to ‘Showtime Channel’ and am so glad that it will be out on DVD this summer- With all the garbage being released daily, I only wish the studios wouldn’t make us wait forever for quality shows/movies! To the movie studios..Keep Up The Good Work!!

I saw this movie about two months ago on Showtime. Hadn’t heard of it before then. I have been to Graceland, Sun Studio, Beale Street, and various areas around Memphis. It is pretty cool that all the locations used in the movie are historically accurate. I am also a fan of the early Sun Records rockabilly stuff (mainly 1954-1957) and was delighted to see his connection with Sun portrayed accurately. Great movie, great acting, JRM portrays Elvis as the shy, gawky teenager to the later 60’s Elvis depressed by how far he had become distanced from his musical roots, and the reality that he was no longer the public figure his entourage was conning him (whether knowingly or unknowingly) into believing he was. I think this is the truest portrayal of who Elvis really was, and even though it it was sad in it’s reality at times, it gave me a more “human” view and insight into the “King of Rock and Roll”. I can’t wait to get the DVD!

I watched this on the television premier. I thought it was very good, with great acting. Meyers did as best as one could acting as Elvis, better than most. Some of the later scenes, primarily for the ‘68 Comeback special leave something to be desired though. Meyers just looked weird trying to do what Elvis did. Anyway, the story line was enjoyable and they seemed to correctly follow history for the most part. A plus for this mini-series is that they used Elvis real voice/songs. This is something even non-Elvis fans can have fun watching.

This program was awesome. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers perfomance was amazing, he nailed Elvis right down to the blue suede shoes. I think this movie really captured Elvis the person and brought him to life once again. The final scene was inspiring, and summed up the entire story in one song. This shows why to many of us, Elvis will always simply remain, “The King.” Also, this story will introduce this legend to a whole new generation.
