Original Title: EPIC - ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT / THAT'S THE WAY IT IS/ ON TOUR.
RUNNING TIME: 141 minutes.
I recently watched Baz Luhrmann's long-awaited epic film about Elvis Presley.
The film featured unreleased footage from *That's the Way It Is* and *Elvis on Tour*.
While the documentary jumps between these two productions and incorporates various mixed sounds I'm not particularly fond of, they weren't distracting.
After seeing it in the theater, I had the idea to create an extended version that would better organize the material.
I retrieved one of my external drives filled with Elvis material from the closet.
My plan is to edit a musical chronicle that spans the 1950s to the 1970s.
This project will focus on Luhrmann's epic film but will also include additional content from *That's the Way It Is*, *Elvis on Tour*.
All the footage will be upscaled to 4K using Topaz, with the audio enhanced to 5.1 surround sound.
It will be a musical journey through the concerts of this legendary performer.
