Just In: Elvis Presley biopic by director Baz Luhrmann delayed until 2022.

Apparently, the Oscar-nominated director had still another five weeks to shoot and the movie would not have finished on time to release by the end of the year as promised. 

The production of the film began in early March 2020, and it probably would have been completed if the team didn't face complications due to coronavirus. Casts like Tom Hanks along with his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for the virus after arriving in Australia which became a major setback. 

The movie is written by Luhrmann and Craig Pearce that is set to cover like 20 years of Elvis's career and his relationship with Parker following his rise to fame and the unprecedented stardom of his.
