Baz Luhrmann revealed in June that his first assembly cut of “Elvis” ran four hours long, and it appears fans might one day get to see the director’s extended vision come to life&…
) that a four-hour “Elvis” cut would take another four to six months to edit, and he’s simply too “tired” right now to get it done. The earliest the director could see himself starting to work on the four-hour “Elvis” would be in 2025.
” I don’t close my mind to the idea that in the future, there might be a way of exploring another [cut],” Luhrmann said. “I’ve got to be really careful here, because the moment I put it out there… I tell you what, all my tweets are nothing but, ‘We want the four-hour version! We want the four-hour version!’ I think people are at my gates with pitchforks saying, ‘We want the four-hour version!’
“Right now, with how long it’s stayed in the theaters and how well it’s done, it’s crossed the line,” the director continued. “But it’s done so well on HBO Max over the weekend, so it’s about the parent company going, ‘Wow, it’s really worth spending the money.’ Because it isn’t just like I’ve got it, and you just put it out there. Every minute in post-production, you have to do visual effects, grading, cutting, refining and ADR sound.
“Elvis” became a breakout hit for Warner Bros. over the summer, world premiering at the Cannes Film Festival to a thunderous standing ovation and earning $284 million at the worldwide box office. The musical biopic outgrossed “The Great Gatsby” at the domestic box office with $150 million, making it the highest-grossing domestic earner of Luhrmann’s career thus far.
The filmmaker also shot scrapped scenes that tackled Elvis’ “addiction to barbiturates and all of that.” Luhrmann said, “What happens is he starts doing wackadoo things — like going down to see Nixon. I had it in there for a while, but there just comes a point where you can’t have everything in, so I just tried to track the spirit of the character.”
