Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis" will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month ahead of Warner Bros. releasing the film theatrically June 24.
The "Naked Gun" actress said she saw the movie with her late ex-husband's longtime pal Jerry Schilling and was impressed by Austin Butler taking on the titular role.
"The story is about Elvis and Colonel Parker’s relationship," Presley wrote. "It is a true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Baz, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. Austin Butler, who played Elvis, is outstanding."
