Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, and RCA Records will release the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann\u2019s EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert on February 20th, a collection of 27 recordings heard in the upcoming film, featuring updated mixes of iconic live performances alongside new remixes and medleys of classic Elvis recordings.<\/p>\n
The soundtrack release will accompany the theatrical premiere of EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert, coming to theaters with a one-week exclusive IMAX (NYSE: IMAX) engagement on February 20th, followed by a global theatrical release from NEON and Universal Pictures International on February 27th. EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert delivers a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience in which Elvis sings and tells his story like never before.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While making his 2022 film \u2018Elvis\u2019, Luhrmann and his team uncovered a treasure trove of long-hidden film negatives and footage in the Warner Brothers vaults, originally captured for the documentary films Elvis: The Way It Is (chronicling his August 1970 residency in Las Vegas) and Elvis On Tour (shot throughout his 1972 concerts across the U.S.), as well as never before seen 8mm footage and never before heard audio of Elvis speaking about his life. Luhrmann and his team spent years restoring this material, collaborating with Academy Award nominee Jonathan Redmond, Peter Jackson\u2019s Park Road Post Production as well as many others. What was revealed apart from Presley\u2019s iconic, one of a kind performance energy was the man behind the myth \u201ctotally at ease on stage, able to feel the true love of his fans and communicate himself with an intimacy and humanity, unlike any other artist,\u201d as Luhrmann describes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Coupled with remixes and medleys that blend, reimagine and interpret Presley in bold new directions, the resulting film and soundtrack are a testament to Elvis\u2019 1970s performances. The soundtrack album is executive produced by GRAMMY nominated Luhrmann. <\/p>\n
