Saw the movie over the weekend. Absolutely FANTASTIC! Austin was fantastic and Oscar Material. Hopefully the academy doesn’t overlook the movie or Austin. I truly believe Elvis’ hand touched down on Austin. There were scenes that I thought were Elvis but they were Austin. Go see the movie it is truly Fantastic. Austin had all of Elvis’ moves down to a T totally unbelievable.

Hollywood tries to force certain actors down our throats and try to convince us that they're talented, like timothee chalamet or Miles Teller. It's refreshing when the real deal comes along. ❤️
@thehoodpinch7364 2 жыл бұрын
Miles Teller was considered for the role before Austin was cast. While I disagree that Miles and Timothee are bad actors, it's refreshing to see someone like Austin play such a well-known figure. I believe we should learn that musical biopics work best when unknown actors play rock stars.
