Eric Bana To Play Elvis Presley

Eric Bana is set to play Elvis Presley

The Australian actor will tackle the role of The King in Cary Elwes' directorial debut, Elvis & Nixon, which is based on a real-life meeting between Presley and U.S. President Richard Nixon at the White House in 1970.
 
Bana will also co-produce the production, which was co-written by Elwes.
 
Danny Huston is said to be in final negotiations to play Nixon in the film, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

We last saw Bana on the big screen when he teamed up with filmmaker Jow Wright for Hanna.

He has already completed work on Blackbird, which also stars Olivia Wilde, and that is due out next year.
