Austin Butler Is Unrecognizable in Upcoming 'Elvis' Biopic

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Elvis, and Austin Butler's resemblance to Elvis Presley is uncanny.

The Baz Luhrmann film is narrated by Tom Hanks, who plays Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. The movie will explore Presley's life in three sections.

While Butler's appearance drastically changed to resemble the late rock star's, he also worked towards perfecting his iconic accent. Additionally, Butler sings in the film. "When I began the process, I set out to get my voice to be identical," Butler told The Hollywood Reporter. "That instills fear. So that got the fire burning. For a year before we started shooting, I was doing voice coaching."

"I watched as much as I could, over and over," The Carrie Diaries star said about closely studying Presley’s movies and concert footage. "I feel such a responsibility to Elvis and to [ex-wife] Priscilla and [daughter] Lisa Marie, and all the people around the world who love him so much."

Get a first look at Butler as Presley in the trailer above. Elvis premieres on June 24.
