Neon, Universal Acquire Baz Luhrmann’s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert for 2026 Theatrical Release

Drawing on rare Vegas footage plus Graceland archives, the film delivers an immersive concert documentary envisioned as a global “tour” for Elvis.

Overview

  • Neon will handle the U.S. release, with Universal Pictures International distributing overseas, for a 2026 theatrical rollout.
  • The film was unveiled in the official selection at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival following strong early notices.
  • EPiC assembles long-lost Las Vegas residency material, rare 16mm from Elvis on Tour, 8mm from the Graceland archive, and rediscovered audio of Presley telling his story.
  • Produced by Sony Music Vision, Bazmark, and Authentic Studios, the project expands Luhrmann’s Elvis work after his 2022 feature’s awards and box-office success.
  • Neon and Universal’s prior nonfiction collaborations, including Moonage Daydream and Apollo 11, point to a theatrical-first strategy for this archival concert experience.
