DC Readers: Attend A Free Early Screening Of ‘Elvis’

We’re happy to offer our DC readers the chance to attend a free early screening of Elvis, directed by Baz Luhrmann and starring Austin Butler as the King, Elvis Presley. Tom Hanks stars as Col. Tom Parker, with Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley.

From Oscar-nominated visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ drama “Elvis,” starring Austin Butler and Oscar winner Tom Hanks.

The film explores the life and music of Elvis Presley (Butler), seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks). The story delves into the complex dynamic between Presley and Parker spanning over 20 years, from Presley’s rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America. Central to that journey is one of the most significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).

The screening takes place on Tuesday, June 14th at 7:00pm at Regal Majestic in Silver Spring. If you’d like to attend, go to the Warner Bros. ticketing site here. Please remember all screenings are first come first served and you will need to arrive early (and in blue suede shoes, j/k) to ensure seating. Enjoy the show!

Elvis opens in theaters on June 24th.
