Elvis Dominates Headlines: Epic Film, Graceland Fraud Suit, and Timeless Tributes

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

It’s been a remarkable few days for the legacy of Elvis Presley with a fresh wave of headlines and public energy swirling around the King of Rock and Roll. The biggest story is the unveiling and upcoming release of the feature documentary concert film EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert which has just been jointly acquired by Neon for domestic US release and Universal Pictures for the global big-screen push. This headline-grabbing project debuted in the official selection at the Toronto International Film Festival and is helmed by Sony Music Vision Bazmark and Authentic Studios. What sets EPiC apart is its trove of never-before-seen footage from Elvis’s 1970s Vegas years enhanced with rare 16mm camera work rediscovered in the Graceland archives and even candid personal audio as Presley tells his own story much of which surfaced during research for Baz Luhrmann’s hit 2022 biopic. Luhrmann himself called the film a dream realized stating that with partners on board Elvis will finally bit by bit get his world tour—a feature not only designed for lifelong Elvis devotees but to introduce the King to new screens and new generations. Coverage of this development has appeared in multiple entertainment trade outlets and is widely viewed as a career-defining moment for the posthumous narrative of Presley.

Off the big screen and onto the business pages Elvis’s estate has continued to make headlines for an ongoing fraud controversy. Riley Keough, Presley’s granddaughter and trustee of the estate, has filed a high-profile lawsuit to thwart what she alleges is a fraudulent attempt to foreclose and sell Graceland. According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and BBC, Keough asserts that Naussany Investments & Private Lending tabled forged documents supposedly signed by her late mother, Lisa Marie Presley. In a dramatic twist the notary named on the documents has sworn under affidavit that she never handled such paperwork. This story has ignited a broader national conversation about deed fraud and has thrown a temporary cloud over Graceland’s future, with millions following the updates.

In the fan and nostalgia world Elvis tributes remain electric. A stand-out event is scheduled for October 15 at the Menlo Park Senior Center promising a live Elvis tribute performance and luncheon for local seniors. Meanwhile, the annual Elvis Music Salute during Elvis Week 2025 just dropped a highly shared YouTube highlight featuring legends from Elvis’s backup bands reminiscing and performing gospel hits from the Vegas suite days—its popularity surging across fan channels on Instagram and Facebook. Additionally, the iconic 68 Comeback Special is set for a big-screen return at The Strand Theatre on October 28 reaffirming the King’s impact on the concert-film genre.

For pop culture watchers Elvis also pops up on the social circuit with recent festival appearances including a joint tribute with Elton John at the Hudson County Fair and special brunches dedicated to his music and style at Modernism Week’s October social calendar.

As for his discography, fans can expect a reissue of his debut LP later this month courtesy of Essential Records—a move that cements the hunger for Presley’s earliest and most iconic material as strong as ever.

While rumors occasionally flare online about unreleased recordings or inheritance drama these remain unsubstantiated or speculative for now. The prevailing narrative this week is simple: Elvis continues to make history, stir conversation, and uplift spirits nearly half a century after his passing.
