Kurt Russell (ELVIS)…Bruce Campbell (BUBBA HO-TEP)… Now you can add Michael Shannon to an impressive handful of badass actors who’ve set out to give us their creative interpretation of the King! ELVIS & NIXON weaves its tale around a strange, early 1970’s meeting between iconic historical figures Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon (played here, by the great Kevin Spacey.)
These two outstanding actors look to be having a blast and with any luck, this movie will be every bit as amusing and quirky as this trailer makes it look.
In honor of the King’s birthday, have a peek for yourself.
Amazon Studios drops ELVIS AND NIXON in theaters on April 16th, 2016.
