When Luhrmann watched the submission from Butler, a young actor he didn’t know anything about, “it didn’t feel like an audition,” said the Oscar-nominated “Moulin Rouge!” director. “It felt like a spycam.” Butler appeared alongside Selena Gomez, Adam Driver, and Bill Murray in Jim Jarmusch’s existential zombie comedy “The Dead Don’t Die.” For Butler, understanding Elvis’ influences and inspirations helped inform how he portrayed the artist’s evolution and signatures.Despite mixed critical reactions to Hanks’ portrayal of Parker, Cannes left Luhrmann feeling satisfied. “At Cannes, they’ll boo you,” he said after the festival debut, admitting that he steels himself for all sorts of reactions. “‘Moulin Rouge!’ got a good reaction but a lot of detractors too. My films always have this kind of critical show.” During the 12-minute ovation, he said, “there was genuine emotion in the room. If I never go to Cannes again, I can be very happy with that night.” Life after Elvis I wanted to feel what he was feeling, and he wasn’t looking at himself. He was looking at Little Richard. He was looking at Howlin’ Wolf and Big Mama Thornton and all those incredible artists down on Beale Street,” Butler said. “You’ll see a move that Little Richard does and you go, ‘That’s how Elvis moved. Is that where he got that?’ Elvis was kind of a magpie where he pulled things from a lot of different places.” ‘She loved him so much’ That was the test that I saw in front of me: How do you take Elvis ... and find out who he really was as a man?

At some point in the future, Butler would like to move behind the camera and make movies like Tarantino, Luhrmann and Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-directors he admires. “I love filmmaking,” he said. “I don’t know what else I would do with my life. I’m not ready yet, but there will come a day.” From books like “Elvis and the Colonel,” Butler tried to understand Elvis’ psychology through the defining relationships in his life — not only his fraught ties to Parker, but bonds with his wife, Priscilla (played by Olivia DeJonge); father, Vernon (Richard Roxburgh); and mother, Gladys (Helen Thomson). “There were certain voids that Colonel filled early on,” Butler said. “And that becomes conflicting when you start to realize somebody might be taking advantage of you, but you have sort of sworn your soul to them. Elvis was loyal to a fault at times.”I threw all my eggs in one basket,” said Butler, now 30, with a lingering hint of a honeyed drawl, of the immersion he undertook to nab the coveted lead in Luhrmann’s big-budget gamble “Elvis.” “I knew that the only way that I could do it was if I gave it everything that I had.” It started that day with Elvis’ entire discography, which Butler put on shortly after getting the call, as he painted and plastered the old house he was living in. He devoured every Elvis documentary, every film, every YouTube fan video he could find. At first, he tried recording himself singing Elvis’ 1956 ballad “Love Me Tender,” but “it looked like an impersonation,” he said, sipping an iced coffee last month at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, “and I thought, ‘I can’t send this.’” Butler appeared in 41 episodes of “Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide,” as character Zippy Brewster despite being uncredited.
