Riley Keough thought she was prepared. She expected a wave of nostalgia when she sat down to watch the first restored reels from Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis Presley Concert Movie.
But what she experienced was something far deeper — a jolt straight to the heart.

The moment the footage began, Riley wasn’t watching an icon. She was seeing her grandfather — alive again in a way she never knew him. In never-before-seen clips, Elvis laughs backstage, teases his bandmates, and radiates that unmistakable, restless electricity that once shook the world.

Sixty-eight boxes of long-lost soundchecks, raw rehearsals, and unreleased Las Vegas performances — all brought back with stunning clarity — transformed the screen into something Riley never expected: a doorway.

“It completely freaked me out — in the best way,” she said, her voice trembling with awe.

For Riley, this film isn’t just a tribute. It’s personal.
It’s a reunion with the man behind the myth — a chance to meet the human heartbeat beneath the legend.

And in every glowing frame, she discovered something she didn’t realize she’d been missing:
Elvis Presley’s spirit, alive and shining through, reaching across time to touch his granddaughter’s soul.
