ELVIS Movie at Graceland with Cast + Presley Family

The ELVIS movie had a special premiere in Memphis on June 12, 2022 at the Guesthouse at Graceland. Baz Luhrmann, Tom Hanks, Austin Butler, Olivia DeJonge were there as well as Priscilla Presley, Riley Keough, Jerry Schilling and Lisa Marie Presley! Here are my experiences of what that was like

Hi

[@toddhensley880]

I love that the family still occasionally has get-togethers at Graceland. It’s nice they can just hang out and enjoy the place.

[@ashleysadventures]

Totally! Love to hear it

[@kristine0]

I love the love that Lisa has always received, and even more so now. Everyone feels so close to her and like they watched her grow up and the fact that her dad is part of her makes everyone feel even closer.❤️ What an amazing weekend!

[@ashleysadventures]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching!

[@jaygordon1033]

Thanks for bringing the festivities back for us. This film, since Cannes, is on a rocket ship. Elvis is on The Tonight Show, and Good Morning America. I thought we were well past those days of publicity. Great work, as always.

[@ashleysadventures]

It really is, and deservedly so! I think you'll be blown away. Thanks Jay!

[@rwieber79]

Yeah its great, even Gold Rush and shows on the Discovery channel last night were sponsored by the Elvis movie. Baz and WB really are pushing it hard and it's great to see. I hope it smashes all the records that the Freddie Mercury and Elton John biopics set. And from what I've seen so far Austin Butler deserves an Oscar and pretty much every other award for a lead role in a movie performance.

[@cut1986]

Ashley. Holy cow! I am 55 and have lived Elvis EVERYDAY since I was 8. You lived a moment that I wish I had. Saw Lisa and Priscilla at the gates in 1981.

[@ashleysadventures]

That's so rad! You're going to love the movie

[@shoneys3759]

AWWW, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, Ashley.I'm very happy you got the opportunity to attend this exciting screening at Graceland.Your love for Elvis is genuine and I'm sure he was smiling down at you from Heaven.😉 I was so happy to see Lisa.💖 I send all my blessings to her and her family and I do hope the international acclaim the movie is receiving will warm her heart. I can't wait to see the biopic...I'm ready to fly ! 😄

[@ashleysadventures]

Love this! Get ready to fly ⚡️❤️

[@ludane7911]

Absolutely captivating! Your excitement and enthusiasm is telling. I am going to the movie on the 21st and 23rd (so far). Thanks for sharing your experience of a lifetime.

[@mikem957]

Thanks for sharing this! It was so nice to see Lisa there. Especially after everything that she has had to endure over the last two years. She needed that to help her get back on her feet. Riley, who never hardly ever likes to answer questions about her grandfather, was so supportive obviously there as you saw, but also on the MTV Movie And TV Awards and on Instagram. She posted a video of Austin playing Elvis's iconic guitar while sitting on the couch in the jungle room and how she was overwhelmed with the moment. I think this movie helped her to understand her grandfather in a new way and that has made her more comfortable being a part of his legacy now. She even said after the awards show that she was apparently now on the promo tour. I know she has her own career that is blossoming, but I would like to see her become an associate executive of Graceland or of EPE and be more involved with future projects and developments. Soden is close to 80 and will probably wanna retire soon. He was planning to back in 2013 but Weinshanker asked him to hang on for awhile. They're gonna need some new vibrant blood on board soon to carry the business and legacy into the next generation of fans after this movie blows up. I honestly cannot wait to see the movie! Every clip that is available is amazing! They showed Austin doing Jailhouse Rock from the 68 Comeback Special last night on Jimmy Fallon and you would have thought it was Elvis!😳👍👍

[@jansorensen]

This was great I love when you start to talk about Elvis Movie week with your passions for Elvis and you talk with your heart and that is why i start to watch Ashley Adventures a few years ago.. I want to see an actual movie review Ashley !⚡️⚡️

[@heatherlomaxmusic4776]

This made me cry...thanks so much for giving us a window into all the festivities in Memphis Ashley. I'm seeing it on Tuesday, and can't wait!!! So happy Lisa Marie and Priscilla loved it-as Baz said, that was the best endorsement he could have received. This is going to be monumental to bring Elvis to the next generation. It NEEDED to happen on a grand scale-and not just a "parroting" of Elvis, but an actual soulful performance and genuine performance by Austin Butler. Loved Austin's utter humility in interviews, and THANK YOU for pointing out that Finley looks soooo much like Gladys! I have been saying that for years, and no one agreed with me! LOL

[@ashleysadventures]

THIS!! 👏 Elvis gets to show out in such a huge way and I’m so excited knowing young people are learning about him for the first time Thanks so much for tuning in! ❤️

WOW!! Ashley you are such a lucky girl to have such an AMAZING experience,& I want to Thank you for putting this video up for us fans so we can get an insight as to what happened at the screening & yes it was fantastic see Lisa Marie & the cast etc on stage.

Thanks so much!

[@EXPERIENCINGGOD]

Wow, I got goose-bumps watching the video - especially when the Presley family enters. Ashley, just as you appreciate Jack Soden so much, we appreciate you so much. We're thankful for all the work you've done for Elvis and Graceland. Like Jack, although you aren't part of the original Elvis story, we are so thankful that you continue to research and tell the story. No one does it better than you.

[@ashleysadventures]

This is really kind, thank you 😊

[@ron96]

Well, I'm in my mid-seventies. About a decade ago, I went to Graceland and was stunned by how many young people from teenagers and into their twenties who were in line, and most of them were young ladies. I was amazed by this. Now I found you on the net, and here we go again, another yound lady who has delved into the Elvis magic. I think it's a stunning phenomena that is rarely, if ever mentioned. By the way, I still have my program from 57 plus programs and menus from Vegas and Lake Tahoe. I trust you'll keep up with your passion. By the way, at the turn of the century, PBS scowered the world for the entertainer of the century. It was of course Elvis even though had been gone for 23 yrs. Pepsi ran a prodution of bottles of Pepsi with the Artist of the Century logo on it as well as an image of E.P. Of course I have. Anyway, keep up the great work. Thanks for your effort.

[@ashleysadventures]

Yes! There’s so many newer fans and those like me that weren’t alive when Elvis was. Thanks for sharing and welcome to the channel!

[@asmrcalmingvibes]

Amazing! I am so grateful for this movie. Perfect timing for the 45th anniversary of Elvis's passing come August. I can't wait to be in Memphis for Elvis Week. I pray Tom Hanks and Austin Butler make a secret surprise appearance. I love Tom Hanks and I'd love to meet him. He has always been a huge Elvis Presley fan! I love all Tom Hanks movies and I am glad he's finally in a Elvis movie. 💗💗💗💗💗

I love Austin Butler now. I swoon every time I hear him talk. 😍 I am so happy for you! What cherished memories these will be. Seeing and hearing from Lisa was so moving. I adore the whole family and am so glad they were all there. Their endorsement alone tells me this movie will be one of my new favorite things. Can not wait to see it!!!! It would be super fun to have a debriefing with you and your subscribers after the movie is out, but that may not be possible or something you would want to do anyway.

Mary I'm right there with you. I've been crying with all the trailers and interviews. I already know it is going to be difficult for me to watch. I don't want anybody in the audience to make fun of me when I cry. I've decided I'm not fooling with tissues-----that will never get it. I'm taking squares of paper towel. The first trailer I saw was when he says "I'm going to be 40 soon and no one is going to remember me!" Oh my gosh I just instantly burst into tears. It hurt me so bad that he would ever truly think that. Anyway I hope and pray we both survive seeing the film.

Ok sooo yes for a movie review, I’m not sure when I’ll be able to go to the movie theatre to watch it, as soon as possible but anything about the movie, I’ll take it. Second, what an experience! I won’t lie, I’m dying from envy, I might have commented the same in instagram haha. Absolutely amazing you got to be there, cherish those memories for ever, I mean, of course you will ♥️ And to finish, I completely lost it when Lisa Marie started to talk, heartbreaking and her being so honest, take it or leave it, no bullshit, saying things as they are. She’s going through hell, she’s lived through so many traumas, and she is a fighter. Being there, showing up and talking, we are all so grateful for that and I hope she knows she’s loved dearly. And just for her, all the negativity surrounding the movie, the false debates regarding Priscilla/Linda/Ginger/the extended family; if the woman of Elvis’ life aka Lisa Marie, says she’s proud of this movie and of the cast and the way the story of her father is being told, I take it, and so should any fan do. Thank you Ashley for the video.

Wow, thank you!

[@daveschuda2766]

What an incredible experience for you both, I'm thrilled for you to be able to attend such an intimate event. I will be seeing the film on the 21st. I'm waiting to watch your review video till after I see the film. Thank you.

[@ashleysadventures]

I totally understand that! Thanks Dave!

[@lesleypilling7561]

Loved this, thanks so much for sharing your special trip. I am going to hide under a rock now until the movie is released here in the U.K. on the 24th (going twice that day 🤗). I have commented in the past about the Smith resemblance with one of the twins…I’ll dig out my photo comparison and share on Facebook. ❤

[@ashleysadventures]

Haha!! Oh wow. You’re going to love it!

[@crazy4277]

So very cool! Could see how much you enjoyed - and are still processing! - the experience! You deserved it! Glad you got to! I was on the line about the movie but seeing your reaction and hearing Lisa speak about it, I find I am now looking forward to it! 😉 Thank YOU for the wonderful video!

[@ashleysadventures]

You said it! I'm still floating around. You must - the movie, the music.. its just larger than life. Thanks N Getz!

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

I love that you got to experience all of that especially knowing how passionate & earnest you are in all the work you do for Elvis & Elvis fans on your channel. I'll most definitely support your review of the film 👍 (If that's what you want to do, then go for it!) Thank you for sharing your amazing time with us, Ashley! So thoughtful & cool of you! Final note: Tom Hanks in "Turner & Hooch" and Robin Williams in "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "Hook". My childhood right there 😉 TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤

[@ashleysadventures]

Helllooooo! - Mrs Doubtfire Thanks for saying that, Sammy. It was a total dream. I can't wait to finally talk about the movie but wasn't sure how everyone would feel about spoilers. Ok I loved those movies, too but my Tom Hanks movies were Big and Toy Story

[@sammy_the_uncool2702]

@@ashleysadventures Haha! Great movies! "Are you crying? There's no crying in baseball!" I love Tom Hanks in "A League Of Their Own". I think if you want to do a movie review then you should go for it. I have a feeling it'd be fun & only amp up my own anticipation for the movie (I have my tickets already ordered & my seats already reserved! Can't wait!). Enjoy the rest of your week, Ashley! TCB ⚡ & TLC ❤

Nice Ashley ! Glad for you to have been in the weekend showings of the excellent movie of the few parts of Elvis Ãron Presley's life with a long time die hard fan of Elvis really I know this for sure and so on ! I can't figure out why a very important man in the life of the King was not present in a role in the movie ???? AKA Joe Esposito !!!!!!! Thank you again Ashley ! The Best Is Yet To Come !

[@ashleysadventures]

Joe was in the movie. Thanks for watching!

[@noonerstrickland1743]

So happy for you! I’m looking forward to seeing it on the 21st early showing here in Jax.

[@ashleysadventures]

You're going to lose your mind! Thanks Nooner

[@carrieschofield8139]

So awesome Jon got y’all tickets yes I agree so awesome opportunity

[@j.j.1561]

Truly a "Once in a Lifetime" Event, so very cool, that must have been so exciting! I'm very happy for you, thanks for the nice video!😊

[@ashleysadventures]

Thank you so much!

[@Marr-in-Memphis]

It was my pleasure to meet you on Sunday night & see you again at the Town Hall on Monday. It was an honor for me to be a participant at both venues. Allow me to compliment you for this excellent report of the weekend events. I was especially thrilled to have the opportunity to see & hear Tom Hanks. He was personable & so funny. It’s a memory of a life time. And when Austin Butler receives his Academy Award for playing Elvis, we can say we saw him before his star exploded. FYI: the questions for the Town Hall were prewritten by the SiriusXM staff & handed to the specific front row guests. @8:54 that’s my voice saying “We love you, girl.”

[@ashleysadventures]

Hey lady, it was great to meet you! Yes, we love Tom Hanks! What a treat that was and he's such a ham. Yessss Austin for the win! I received an email prior to the town hall to submit a question if you'd like. I think that's what was printed on the cards, their questions in advance Thanks for tuning in! See you at trivia soon ❤️

[@RickEllis68]

This is cool!!! My family and I love the movie. Thank you for sharing. I wish there was a video of Baz explaining his process of putting certain things in the way he did and where he did…no hate just curiosity. Thanks again for sharing this!!

[@ashleysadventures]

Thanks for watching! There are other videos out there of him and Austin speaking. He was nice enough to do a Q&A at the end. I was there as a fan, the video was an afterthought

[@michaellyon9220]

Thanks Ashley for that cool footage ✨👏🏻 do a review for sure yeah .

[@ashleysadventures]

Thanks Michael! One review, coming up!

Your welcome! Please tell us all about it and don't leave out any details. I love to hear more from your trip there. Make another Video! 👋👋👋😆😛

Giirrrllll, how in the world did you keep your composure? 😳 With the premiere and The Presleys just a few rows behind you? 🤦‍♀️. My head would’ve been swiveling like in “The Exorcist”. 😵‍💫. I’m so happy for you to have had this memorable experience! Nobody deserves it more than YOU!! ☺️ How lucky you were to win the raffle and so kind of Jon to come through for you!! I’m so excited to see this movie but sadly we will have to wait longer as it’s not appearing in any theaters near us just yet. 😢 I am looking forward to your review though even if it’s before I see the movie. That will be my “PRE -VIEW!!” So come on girl, get with it! You know I’m not a patient person! LOL. Loving your excitement!! 🙋‍♀️ TCB ⚡️🕺👑. Later gator 🐊

[@ashleysadventures]

🤣🤣🤣 you are so silly! This was something I’ll never forget Aw man that’s a bummer it’s not playing near you. It will make the wait that much sweeter. You’re going to freak out!! Thanks for the sweet comment, lady! ❤️⚡️

@@ashleysadventures ~ I know, Bummer, right? The theaters around here are “SLOW” about new releases! 😤🤬 I’ve checked everywhere and nearest one is 150 miles away! 😡 Can you believe that? 🤷‍♀️ And it’s ELVIS! 🕺🤴🏻 I’m like “What the HELL?” 🤯 I was more p-oed over this than I was not seeing you on trivia! 🤦‍♀️ LOL.

Haha it was truly incredible. Thanks so much ❤️

[@mrsg.9224]

@@ashleysadventures I bet! So cool!

[@mjanovec]

Sitting near the family during the movie had to be surreal. A few years ago I saw the Van Duren documentary (an artist that you are likely the only one here that knows about). Right before the movie started, Van Duren sat down in the seat directly in front of me. It was a strange experience to watch a movie about someone and have that person in my line of sight the whole time, less than two feet away.

[@ashleysadventures]

At the Nashville screening? I moved to town the next day and missed it! I’m proud to call Van a friend. He’s so freaking cool. I go see him play at Mortimer’s whenever I’m in Memphis on a Thursday. Each time I come in, the next song he plays is “You And Your Sister” by Chris Bell, because that was my gateway to Van. His doc is streaming on Amazon 8/5! I’m excited to finally see it! P.S. I’m sending him your comment right now!!

[@mjanovec]

@@ashleysadventures Oh cool, I didn’t realize you were friends with Van! It was the showing in Minneapolis circa November 2018 at the Sound Unseen festival. I knew he would be there but didn’t expect him to be within arm’s reach during the film. (I was too shy to say hello to him.) The movie is really well done and I’m glad it’s getting a wider distribution. It deserves to be seen by more people. I have been a fan since finding Are You Serious on LP in 2000. “You and Your Sister” is such a devastating song. It freezes me in my tracks when it comes up on shuffle. The part where Alex joins in is perfection. Speaking of Alex, I hope the Chilton documentary gets completed and screened eventually. I was one of the Kickstarter contributors to that project… that’s how much I want to see it! I’ve seen a rough cut, but not a finished version. I’m sure nobody else here knows what we’re talking about, but it’s nice to geek out on Van, Chris, and Alex! 🙂
