The movie is most definitely made by fans of Elvis. Joey Sagal and everyone involved are fans. Joey's dad was very close to Elvis and directed him in some of the movies. They would never do anything to hurt Elvis. They went with Michael to play Elvis in order to get funding for the film. He's a great actor! Give it a chance...or don't.
Joey Sagal says that Elvis & Nixon in "NYC has been picked as the centerpiece film at this years Tribeca Film Fest for it's world premiere." Coming to a theater near you April 22!
They went with Michael (Shannon) in order to get funding for the film. He's a great actor! There's tremendous interest in the film.
Joey Sagal says, "Fun scene directed by my Dad the great Boris Sagal!!! He loved working with Elvis and Elvis loved working with him! Elvis has been very good to my family!" #Elvisandnixon Joey is the cowriter of Elvis and Nixon coming April 22.

Eric Bana was originally signed to play Elvis in the new Elvis and Nixon movie but dropped out when the project was put on hold for a while to rework the script.

Actually the song clip is Elvis singing 'I've Got To Find My Baby".
'You'll Be Gone' wasn't featured in any of his films.
