June 1, 2026 – Paramount+ today announced that EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert, from acclaimed visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann (Elvis, The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge!), will make its streaming debut June 3, exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and in Canada on July 24. Visit ParamountPlus.com and start streaming today.
- Following its successful global theatrical release, EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert invites audiences to experience Elvis Presley like never before – an electrifying portrait featuring long-lost footage from his legendary Las Vegas residency in the 1970s, alongside rare 16mm footage from Elvis on Tour, treasured 8mm film from the Graceland archive, and unheard recordings that offer an unprecedented look at the King of Rock and Roll in concert.
- “We found such a unique treasure trove of material and worked with Peter Jackson and the amazing team at Park Road Post Production to elevate the footage to levels never seen before. The aim was to reveal Elvis in his prime, as if you were actually there. Jonathan Redmond and I set out to make something that was more than a documentary and more than a concert film and what we found along the way was simply EPiC.” - Baz Luhrmann
- EPiC currently holds a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, marking Baz Luhrmann’s most critically acclaimed film to date. The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival, where audiences danced in the aisles, and went on to deliver an extraordinary global box office run, breaking the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for a documentary in IMAX. The film has also garnered widespread critical acclaim, with Vogue calling it “a burst of concert-film adrenaline,” Variety hailing it as “one of the most exciting concert films you’ve ever seen,” and TIME praising its “profoundly intimate” approach.
- The documentary film marks Luhrmann’s second major project centered on the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, following Elvis, which earned eight Academy Award® nominations, won multiple BAFTA’s® and Golden Globes®. With EPiC, Luhrmann transforms unearthed archival material into an electrifying cinematic odyssey that captures Elvis at his best, raw, intimate and electric.
- EPiC: Elvis Presley In Concert is directed by Baz Luhrmann and produced by Sony Music Vision, Bazmark Films, and Authentic Studios, and distributed in the United States by NEON and in Canada by Elevation Pictures.
- Paramount+ subscribers in the U.S. can also explore a curated collection of Elvis titles on the platform, including Blue Hawaii, King Creole, G.I. Blues, Fun In Acapulco, Roustabout and more.

ABOUT BAZ LUHRMANN | DIRECTOR:
Baz Luhrmann is a pioneer of pop culture working across film, opera, theatre, live
events, fashion, and music. His singular cinematic language continues to captivate
audiences through a unique fusion of classical artistry and bold, contemporary style that has ignited imaginations around the world and made Luhrmann the most commercially successful director in Australia with four of the country’s top-ten grossing films.
Born in Sydney, Australia, Luhrmann's journey began in theatre, where his innovative productions won the acclaim of audiences and critics alike. He burst onto the scene with the first of his Red Curtain Trilogy, Strictly Ballroom, which premiered at the 1992 Cannes Festival. This film was followed by the ambitious modern adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) and the Academy Award-winning Moulin Rouge! (2001). With these films, Luhrmann brought the movie-musical back into the zeitgeist with his infectious, trademark theatrical aesthetic and operatic sense of romance.
Returning to the stage, Luhrmann’s production company, Bazmark, went on to garner two Tony Awards for the Broadway run of Puccini’s opera La Bohème (2002), which he then followed up with the sweeping historical epic, the Academy Award-nominated Australia (2008).
His now-iconic screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby (2013) won two Academy Awards and became Luhrmann’s highest-grossing film to date. Collaborating with Jay-Z on the Gatsby soundtrack, Luhrmann redefined cross-genre music in film, with the album peaking at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and setting a new record for the biggest digital sales week for a soundtrack in Billboard history.
Always pushing the boundaries of genre, Luhrmann collaborated with Netflix on his first series, The Get Down (2016), a critically acclaimed show about the birth of hip-hop in the 1970s South Bronx. His recent projects also include Faraway Downs, a six-part Hulu series reimagining his 2008 film, Australia.
Luhrmann’s 2022 film Elvis, starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks and entirely shot on
the Gold Coast, Australia, became the fourth-highest grossing Australian film of all time.
Elvis received eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture, while also winning four
BAFTAs and eleven Australian Academy (AACTA) awards. Butler took home a BAFTA
and a Golden Globe and was nominated for the Academy Award.
The film’s Grammy-nominated soundtrack, produced by Luhrmann through his label
House of Iona, featured the hit single “Vegas” by Doja Cat, which charted on Billboard’s
top 10 and was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Performance. Elvis is Luhrmann’s most nominated film to date.
Luhrmann lives between New York, Paris and the Gold Coast with his wife and creative
partner, Oscar-winning designer Catherine Martin, and their two children. Luhrmann is currently in development on his forthcoming epic, Jehanne d’Arc at Warner Bros.
