Elvis Presley News Report – December 2025: Major Updates and an Epic Movie Reveal
Welcome to the final Elvis Presley news report of 2025. As the year comes to a close, there are exciting developments for fans around the world—especially surrounding the long-anticipated Elvis movie project titled EPIC.
According to recent comments from director Baz Luhrmann, the worldwide theatrical release of EPIC is expected to take place early in the new year. Based on his interview with an Australian journalist, it appears that February 2026 is the target window for the global rollout. While this has not yet been formally confirmed with an official press release, Luhrmann’s remarks strongly suggest that fans won’t have to wait much longer.
Before that, Graceland has announced special U.S. preview screenings scheduled for January 8, 2026. These exclusive showings will take place at the Guest House Theater, with two screenings planned for the evening. With limited seating available, these previews are expected to be highly sought after by Elvis fans.
The December report also highlights several major collector releases. The label Follow That Dream continues its tradition of releasing deluxe “making of” editions just in time for the holiday season. The newest addition, The Making of G.I. Blues, celebrates the film’s 65th anniversary. This premium set includes two detailed books and five CDs containing the complete soundtrack recordings in chronological order. While no previously unheard outtakes are included, the collection features extensive documentation, rare photographs, and a bonus double EP vinyl record. The set was released in late November 2025 and is positioned as a high-end collector’s item.
From a financial perspective, Elvis Presley remains a remarkable economic force decades after his passing. In 2025, he ranked seventh on Forbes’ list of highest-paid deceased celebrities, generating approximately $17 million. Although this figure represents a decline from the previous year, Elvis has appeared in the top ten every year since the list began in 2001, with total earnings now exceeding $1.2 billion.
Several publishing projects were also announced. Case Mau continues expanding his Elvis yearbook series with the release of the 2017 edition, marking the 40th anniversary year of Elvis’s death. Meanwhile, an expanded deluxe edition of Elvis Presley’s Gold Cadillac Limousine has been released, offering additional tour coverage and rare photographs. Adding to the literary recognition, The Colonel and the King was named one of Time magazine’s “100 Must-Read Books of 2025.”
The report concludes with fan-club news, trivia, and a limited-edition Christmas vinyl single produced exclusively for members of the UK Elvis Presley Fan Club.
As 2025 ends, one thing remains clear: Elvis Presley’s legacy is not only alive—it continues to grow, evolve, and inspire across film, music, publishing, and global fan culture. Stay tuned for more updates as the story continues into 2026.
