Ahhh I’m Dead

Going back in time and watching Elvis (2022) for the first time again would fix me

Just saw Dune Part Two, mind blowing, so much that I’d blow Feyd fr.

Austin looked so hot, I want to get laid

So since Elvis fans are discussing the new announcement…I guess I’ll talk about it

So for those who don’t know, it was announced that Sofia Coppola, acclaimed filmmaker and one that I actually kinda like, is making a bio-pic about Priscilla Presley, specifically about her memoir Elvis and Me (which is a great read btw).

But not only that, but casted in the role of Elvis is Jacob Elordi who dated Kaia Gerber who is currently dating Austin.

That’s the most I will ever talk about celebrity news.

Okay.

I love Sofia’s work. I think she’s a great filmmaker and I would love to see how she’d adapt the book with her style.

However.

The movie won’t be out for a while. Casting announcement means this thing is probably well into pre-production. And a big budget Hollywood bio-pic from a critically acclaimed director that will want to be an awards contender, won’t be out for a while. The guess being thrown around in the fandom is 2024.

However.

The casting announcement coming out practically three months after Elvis (2022)’s release while we’re still riding the high, and even the movie itself, feels like a deliberate cash grab to capitalize on all this new Elvis hype.

And that must suck for Austin and Jacob who are now going to be pitted against each other and constantly compared.

But also yeah. Austin worked his ass off for this role and now someone else is riding his high. That must be unfair.

And yeah. I’m not sure how Priscilla and Lisa Marie will take to this.

Idk how the book rights work with this whole thing. Like idk if Priscilla owns the book rights but the vibe I’m getting is she wasn’t consulted and I have no clue how true that is. But Elvis (2022) was the most accurate film on Elvis’s life and it was the one the family was the most happy with. So this does feel a little insulting that this announcement is riding the high of a film that was truly a passion project for those involved.

So what are my thoughts?

I don’t know dude. On one hand, I’m interested in another version of this story especially done by another pretty great filmmaker. But on the other, it feels so cash grabby and like a PR stunt. Like Jacob being cast is not a coincidence. And I don’t want to compare the two, even though I think Austin is probably going to be the better of the two

We’ll see what happens but yeah this whole thing does leave a bad taste in my mouth

you do not need to tear austin down to give jacob elordi praises

i'll say it again louder ... YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEAR AUSTIN DOWN TO GIVE JACOB PRAISES!!!

i will defend austin until i'm blue in the motherfucking face because that man made himself physically ill to play the role of Elvis. this is a man that plastered Elvis like wallpaper all over his walls, compiled a compilation of his laugh, studied every movie, every interview and read books about the man to get into the part.

austin put his blood, sweat and tears into the role of elvis, we know this. i'm preaching to the choir here with this information but i am so fucking tired of this fucking priscilla movie. nothing good is going to come from it.

sofia was told to be sensitive towards elvis and the way reviews look, they make elvis out to be nothing but cold hearted so clearly did not follow that.

i will not tolerate any sort of slander on austin or elvis, i will fight every last one of these motherfuckers.

austin deserves all the awards and nominations he received for the role he played, he threw himself into it and we seen that in the movie and the press interviews.

austin girlies, we ride at dawn.

'you never read anymore, you used to love reading' and i have 200 safari tabs open. it never stopped it just got weird

I am a freaking puddle 🫠🫠

Dune Part 2 Spoilers(?)

Ok, but why does Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen have a weirdly high amount of sexual tension with every single character he interacts with tho?

Also Austin Butler’s face is wild. Because in the movie he is hairless. No hair, no eyebrows, nothing. He’s either shot in black and white or he is deathly pale when in color. When he talks, he sounds like he’s dying from lung cancer and still smoking two packs a day. He looks like he’s ready to murder or fuck (or both) anyone he’s talking to at any given moment.

And yet he still looks good. It’s ridiculous.

I'm torn between the cottagecore aesthetic and dark academia aesthetic. Like, do I want to gather daisies in a wildflower field or wander around a gothic building? Decorate my room with flowers and patchwork or old books and candles? Wear floaty dresses or turtlenecks? Do some embroidery or commit and mysterious and inexplicable murder??

hi loves ! <3

if you wanna be automatically tagged in all of the austin butler fanfics i write, comment or reblog and i’ll add you to my list!

It's quit interesting that Austin was born 15 years and 1 day after Elvis died. We mourn the death of Elvis on August 16th, only to celebrate the birth of Austin the next day, August 17th.

They have the same amount of letters to spell out there names: Elvis Presley = 12 Austin Butler = 12

Also both were the same age, 23, when they lost their mother.

I think Austin was meant to play Elvis in the movie of his life, it was written in the stars.
