　　In addition, singer Harry Styles of One Direction and Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood). It's not clear if any other actors have tested so far or if studio WarnerBros. is favoring any actor in particular at this juncture. Whatever the case, THR says WarnerBros. is looking to cast its Elvis in the "coming weeks."

　　What is already confirmed is that Tom Hanks will play Colonel Tom Parker, who was Elvis' manager. The film will reportedly cover Elvis' life, and specifically his relationship with Parker.

　　Luhrmann earned the Best Picture Oscar nomination for 2001's Moulin Rouge. He also directed the movies Romeo + Juliet, Australia, and The Great Gatsby, all of which were critically acclaimed.
