ERIC BANA Will Be THE KING
ERIC BANA will be THE KING. The king of what?
Why, the king of rock ‘n roll, of course!
The Australian hunk, who began his career as a comedian, probably never thought he’d see the day he’d play Elvis. That’s right. Elvis Presley himself. Do you think there may be a likeness in there somewhere?
Squint. There you go…
Entertainment news today just learned that guy who used to play “Hulk”, Henry VIII of England in “The Other Boleyn Girl” and a teleporter in “The Time Traveler’s Wife” will now start learning how to shimmy his pelvis and make like Elvis.
Even more interesting, the movie will mark the directorial debut of Cary Elwes, more famously known for playing Wesley to Robin Wright‘s Buttercup in “The Princess Bride”.
But don’t expect Elvis the Pelvis to start dancing to the jailhouse rock, or even loving you tender, because the film is set to center on a 1970 White House visit The King paid then President Richard Nixon to request he be appointed as a “Federal Agent-at-Large” in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. How ironic is that?
And since Elvis wasn’t exactly in the prime of his life in the 1970′s, expect to see a bloated Eric Bana swaggering around with a belly the size of Tennessee.
That about sizes it up…Elvis is still in the building.
