Director Baz Luhrmann was pitched by G-Eazy last month in New York and the rapper even took some meeting with Warner Bros. G-Eazy is so focused on playing “The King” that he posted pictures looking Elvis-esque on his Instagram page with the caption, “Don’t be cruel, to a heart that’s true.”Baz hasn’t given any indication as to who he wants to cast, but Ansel Elgort, Miles Teller, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Harry Styles and Austin Butler have all tested for the part. Tom Hanks has already been cast as Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker.
