Elvis Presley: The Searcher (2018) Official Trailer | HBO

[Admin]

I’m very proud of this HBO Documentary: The Searcher. Executive Producers myself, Jerry Schilling, Jamie Salter etc. This is a film way over due. It took four years for us to find the “right” studio to tell the true story of Elvis’ glory, his highs and lows, his frustrations, failed hopes and dreams of behind the scenes of his incredible music career until, Kary Antholis, President of HBO Mini Series, was enticed by what I believe is the definitive film on Elvis Presley’s music career. If you just viewed him as a Rock and Roll icon you will walk away knowing a much more personal side of what he had to cope with. You will have a greater understanding of the man we all fell in love with and embrace him even more.

Please take a look at the trailer.

The release date is April 14th on HBO.

This could have been a great biography but they got so much crap wrong (AGAIN) about Elvis in the 1970s. First of all, the drug use actually began (mildly, I might add) in the 1950s when Elvis would take No-Doze to stay awake while on the road and it escalated after he went into the Army.

They showed footage of the Aloha REHEARSAL instead of the actual January 14, 1973 telecast
They showed footage from MSG when it was supposed to be referring to 1970

The only great thing I saw in the documentary was the footage of Elvis recording "Burning Love" (which, ironically, Ronnie Tutt produced instead of Felton. Felton was sick as a dog with kidney issues and would even lay down on the couch in the control room so....Ronnie saw this and took it upon himself to produce the record.
