I think it would be a great story if done right.

Who would make a good 'Elvis'?

There is. Elvis : The Movie starring Kurt Russell is John Carpenters "lost" movie. Made just after Halloween i think. Pretty good if memory serves and deals with the early years up until his comeback in 1968.
Russell was immense. Check it out..

Jack White did a pretty good Elvis in Walk Hard.

It was very good, IMO. I liked Kurt Russell's acting before that, but I didn't think he'd be able to pull it off. I was wrong; he was great. I didn't know John Carpenter did that movie. Wasn't it made for TV?

Huh? um...no.

The made for tv one Jonathan Rhys Myers did a few years ago was actually really pretty good. And he totally looked like him.

What's the name of the actor that did an Elvis film years ago? Keith David?

Wait a minute...... David Keith?

I'm going to go with "the Estate wants a lot of money for the Official story" for $1000 Alex.
