Austin Butler Hand Appreciation Post Part 1/?

Okay after the other nights Oscar results, I just wanna say that I am so proud of Austin, Baz, Catherine and everyone else that put so much hard work into Elvis. You all totally deserved to win and it is so unfair that they robbed you of that.

This won’t change how much me and the rest of the Elvis fandom love you all 😘😘

REBLOG IF YOU HAVE STRETCHMARKS

I am a freaking puddle 🫠🫠

So since Elvis fans are discussing the new announcement…I guess I’ll talk about it

So for those who don’t know, it was announced that Sofia Coppola, acclaimed filmmaker and one that I actually kinda like, is making a bio-pic about Priscilla Presley, specifically about her memoir Elvis and Me (which is a great read btw).

But not only that, but casted in the role of Elvis is Jacob Elordi who dated Kaia Gerber who is currently dating Austin.

That’s the most I will ever talk about celebrity news.

Okay.

I love Sofia’s work. I think she’s a great filmmaker and I would love to see how she’d adapt the book with her style.

However.

The movie won’t be out for a while. Casting announcement means this thing is probably well into pre-production. And a big budget Hollywood bio-pic from a critically acclaimed director that will want to be an awards contender, won’t be out for a while. The guess being thrown around in the fandom is 2024.

However.

The casting announcement coming out practically three months after Elvis (2022)’s release while we’re still riding the high, and even the movie itself, feels like a deliberate cash grab to capitalize on all this new Elvis hype.

And that must suck for Austin and Jacob who are now going to be pitted against each other and constantly compared.

But also yeah. Austin worked his ass off for this role and now someone else is riding his high. That must be unfair.

And yeah. I’m not sure how Priscilla and Lisa Marie will take to this.

Idk how the book rights work with this whole thing. Like idk if Priscilla owns the book rights but the vibe I’m getting is she wasn’t consulted and I have no clue how true that is. But Elvis (2022) was the most accurate film on Elvis’s life and it was the one the family was the most happy with. So this does feel a little insulting that this announcement is riding the high of a film that was truly a passion project for those involved.

So what are my thoughts?

I don’t know dude. On one hand, I’m interested in another version of this story especially done by another pretty great filmmaker. But on the other, it feels so cash grabby and like a PR stunt. Like Jacob being cast is not a coincidence. And I don’t want to compare the two, even though I think Austin is probably going to be the better of the two

We’ll see what happens but yeah this whole thing does leave a bad taste in my mouth

I'm torn between the cottagecore aesthetic and dark academia aesthetic. Like, do I want to gather daisies in a wildflower field or wander around a gothic building? Decorate my room with flowers and patchwork or old books and candles? Wear floaty dresses or turtlenecks? Do some embroidery or commit and mysterious and inexplicable murder??

The moment I sat up in my seat in theaters

The moment my soul left my body.

The moment I was gone forever and he was in my head to this day.

Now the moment where I die.

Honestly I’m so disappointed in myself that I only managed to watch it once at the cinemas. But this movie changed my life and I can’t even begin to imagine where I would be if I hadn’t watched it.

The desire to go back to summer 2022 just to be able to see it at the cinema in all its magnificence!!
