The casting process of the upcoming Elvis Presley biopic is underway, with five Stirling actors all testing for the lead.

Moulin Rouge director, Baz Luhrmann, has been involved with the project since 2013, having written the script with Craig Pearce, planning to produce with his wife Catherine Martin, and also helming the film.

Luhrmann is considering five leading men for the role of the King of Rock ‘n Roll who is the best-selling solo artist in history. Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nocturnal Animals), Miles Teller (Whiplash), Austin Butler (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), and Harry Styles (Dunkirk) have all screen-tested for the part with the final decision set to be announced in a few weeks’ time.

Whoever does enter the Heartbreak Hotel will do so alongside two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks who will play Elvis’s manager, Colonel Tom Parker.

Those five will all be hoping for a good luck charm.

The Goldfinch tells the story of Theodore Decker (Elgort), whose life turns upside down after his mother dies in a terrorist bombing at an art museum. Wealthy socialite Mrs. Barbour (Kidman) takes him in and tries to comforts him in his grief.

Despite his attempts to move on, Theodore becomes a troubled teenager, who’s struggling with addiction and is constantly haunted by the memory of his mother. The movie borrows its title from Carel Fabritius’ painting, which reminds the main character of the tragic event that changed his life.

The Goldfinch was directed by John Crowley, whose previous film Brooklyn received three Oscar nominations. It’s set to premiere on September 13th, and it will also star Sarah Paulson, Finn Wolfhard, Jeffrey Wright and Luke Wilson.

the famous director discussed the sequel in a recent interview with Empire Magazine, and said that the first draft already exists. Wright claims this film will take the story even further and introduce a bunch of new captivating characters.

He started plotting the sequel as soon as Baby Driver came out, because he felt the titular hero is going places and wanted to figure out where exactly he is headed.

“Most sequels you have to contrive something so they go back to square one, unless there’s somewhere deeper for them to go. I think with Baby Driver there’s more that you can do in that realm,” said Wright.

It’s still unclear when we’ll get to see this exciting sequel, but it probably won’t happen any time soon. Wright is currently attached to several projects, and so is Ansel Elgort who played the lead role in this action flick.

Ansel Elgort has just landed his next major role starring as Tony in Spielberg’s remake of the classic Broadway musical West Side Story. The casting was confirmed by the producers on Monday.

The original film starred Richard Beymer as Tony and featured a big cast including Natalie Wood, George Chakiris, Rita Moreno, and Russ Tamblyn. The 1961 big screen version won 10 Academy Awards—including Best Picture.

West Side Story, originally inspired by Romeo and Juliet follows the rivalry between two street gangs, the white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks. The rivalry deepens when Tony, a former jet, falls for Maria, the sister of the Sharks’ leader. 

Tony Kushner adapted the script from the original Broadway book written by Arthur Laurents, with music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics from Stephen Sondheim. Spielberg, Kevin McCollum and Kristie Macosko Krieger will produce the movie.
