PARAMOUNT+ SETS STREAMING DEBUT FOR BAZ LUHRMANN'S "EPiC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT"
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.
· 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(R) nominations, won multiple BAFTA's(R) and Golden Globes(R). 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.
