Baz Luhrmann Explains Why Tom Hanks Took His Role In Elvis

Tom Hanks didn’t need much convincing to play Colonel Tom Parker in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. The biopic, which was released this past summer, stars Austin Butler as the titular Elvis Presley. The film follows Butler’s Elvis rise to fame and subsequent relationship with Hanks’ Parker as his manager. The biopic explores how Colonel Tom Parker took advantage of Elvis’s talent and may have even been to blame for the singer’s premature death at age 42.
