Video Summary
AI GeneratedDirector Baz Luhrmann shared behind-the-scenes footage from Austin Butler's 2019 screen test for the Elvis biopic. The clips confirm that Butler used his own singing voice and demonstrate his dedication to capturing Elvis Presley's iconic movements and presence. Luhrmann highlighted the collaborative choreography and the extensive filming process used to capture the performance.
That is Austin's real singing voice. Director Baz Luhrmann confirmed this details in June,
when he posted a video from the actor's 2019 screen test just a few days after his version
of Trouble premiered online. I was there with a camera looking at angles on him,
what looked most like Elvis, but also, just to be able to move with him and we both feel
comfortable together. There was a choreography between when I had five cameras on stage with him
and he felt comfortable doing his moves that we were there with him and we were moving in concert,
says Baz Luhrmann. In this raw footage you can see how Austin danced like Elvis,
he did a very good job in this movie. As you can see, scenes were filmed back to back with
several cameras. Baz Luhrmann has a lot of footage not used in the movie, but which he
promised to make public one day. It's interesting to see how the movie was filmed, not everyone
knows what it's like behind the scenes of a movie, and we appreciate that Baz made some public scenes
for everyone. We will see how Baz is happy with everything that was filmed.
Austin did a great job and prepared a lot for this role.
