Ahhh I’m dead

AUSTIN????? WHAT THE FUCK????

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!

Guys OMG I got a tester for MYSELF and wow it smells just like I imagined but in the best way possible. I’m actually obsessed🫣🫣😩😩

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.

I am a freaking puddle 🫠🫠

I just have so many emotions happening all at once. So, I’m just going to say this..

Austin, Baz, and the whole Elvis cast and crew put so much hard work and effort into such an amazing film. I’ve have never felt so emotional about a movie the way I do with this one. I will never forget seeing this movie on the day it came out and feeling so many emotions toward the end, that I had to sit in the theater even as the movie was over because I couldn’t stop crying. It truly was an experience. A cinematic experience that I’ve never had before. I wish I could relive it.

It’s made me completely fall in love with such an incredible human being and love him for all of his flaws. That sometimes it feels like I’ve known Elvis personally because of how emotional I get over him. Is the obsession I have normal? Probably not. But if it wasn’t for this movie or the obsession, I wouldn’t have streamed his movies for everyone on tiktok all summer. Met so many Elvis besties that I love so much or been in Elvis group chats, making Elvis edits or even start writing fanfic. Hell I got into so many tiktok fights defending this man with my life, it’s crazy.

This movie was so impactful for so many damn people and younger generations who now love and appreciate Elvis so much. Austin, Baz and everyone else who worked on that film DID THAT. So yeah, I’m a little hurt they were snubbed. But I’m proud of them all either way for making such an unforgettable film and bringing so many people together.

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

Wanna join a club?

How about you join ABVA (Austin Butler Voice Addicts)?

United in the joy of hearing his voice in interviews, podcasts, audiobooks.... anything really.

Raise your hand if your an ABVA too.

The desire to go back to summer 2022 just to be able to see it at the cinema in all its magnificence!!

Does anyone else get irked when an author uses "shook their head yes" instead of nodded?

Like it's a small detail that I notice EVERYWHERE and always makes me twitch in frustration.

idk tell me if im delulu

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.
