Re: EPiC - new film - thoughts from the premiere
Jerry Schilling gives his two cents about the new film......
Jerry Schilling is such a class act and probably the smartest member of the Memphis Mafia ever. Hard to believe he's in his early 80's. A very distinguished looking man.
When Mr. Schilling speaks he does so with careful precision. He is always thoughtful and introspective. Glad to see that he collaborated with editor Jonathan Redmond quite a bit during his work on the film. I often think that Jerry could have made a great manager for Elvis once he grew into the role. One of my very favorite people in the entire Elvis world. I am so glad that Elvis bought him that home.

Re: EPiC - new film - thoughts from the premiere
I know I’m probably the only one, but I’m much more excited about a Blu-ray/4K release
or the streaming option than the cinema release.
Most likely, I won’t see it in a cinema—there are many reasons, including my health and
the fact that there’s no cinema close by.
The nearest ones are about a one-hour drive away—both a standard cinema and an IMAX.

Re: EPiC - new film - thoughts from the premiere
Thanks @BrianTCB for the Trailer link!
The movoe looks to be incredible! Suh crisp and vobrant colors,great edits,Elvis's own words... If there ever was a dream in my head that once in my lifetime I would see a properly done film with unreleased early 70's footage presenting Elvis at his peak,this is the perfect fullfillment of that dream.
For once the footage and the audio has been handled by a party that has the technical ability,the funds,and most importantly the artistic vision to present the best post 50's version of Elvis.
Also comes to mind that could this film finally be the thing that starts to chamge the general public's mindset of the "Fat Las Vegas Elvis"!?? That image of Elvis was a bit distorted anyway - largely based on Elvis's performance during the last couple of years of his lifetime, and not necessarily Las Vegas but the tours. Although naturally Las Vegas played a part of the downhill that originally to started in 1972-73. Lets hope thusfilm succeeds finally and it is seen by as many people as possible.
Gonna drive 2 hours and catch this in iiMax on 20th of Feb (health permitting), and I don't mind a bit!
Looking forward to this.

Yes, but when it comes to the bonus material, I’m not very optimistic….mostly because of previoussun215 wrote: January 13th, 2026, 6:40 am Agree about the blu-ray, thats how I will see it also, and it may contain some extras
experiences with Elvis DVD and Blu-ray releases.
But fingers crossed.
