Doug Church is the perfect choice for any of the Elvis vocals. There is nobody in the Elvis Tribute Artist business that has the vocal power and Elvis tone as Doug.

Justin Scro wrote the first drafts of this screenplay with Sonny. The folks at RFL Victor Productions are trying to cut him out unjustly, steal his work, and are failing to fulfill the terms of the original writer\’s contract.

Looks like Jamie Aaron Kelley\’s people are working the boards for him. Or it\’s him? Either way, good luck.

So excited 7 looking forward to seeing this movie. I also think it\’s a great idea to \”introduce\” an unknown actor as \”Elvis\” The person should have the look, the voice & the style of Elvis. An added bonus would be that the \”perfect\” appearing person would also be able to sing like Elvis..(I am thinking that if EPE would not be backing this project, they will not let the actual recordings of elvis be used). For me the perfect choice would have to be Jamie Aaron Kelley.I was not an Elvis fan until I saw Jamie starring in \”Elvis Story\” in 2005..because of his portrayal of Elvis, I became an Elvis fan. He is capable of pleasing the \’die hard\” Elvis fan & appeal to a whole new generation of future Elvis fans. Looking forward to more news!!!

I think the producers will save a milion hours of wasting their energy and time if they simply call on for the casting of a person who is 6 feet tall, has dirt blonde hair, has a nose that looks like John Barrymore, has blue eyes, is 19 years old and weighs 170 pounds. This is what Elvis looked like before he became the world\’s most famous entertainer and the timeline for the start of the biopic. For the rest of the movie, this actor will go through the changes Elvis went, but it was this guy, the one whose casting features I suggested earlier, the one who changed the lives of every person who saw him perform, in the tewo year period between 1954 and 1956. this is the Elvis that should be cast.

I agree that the role of elvis should be portrayed by an unknown face. An established actor brings too much baggage along with them. Audiences have preconceived images of actors who have played many other characters. One name comes to mind as the perfect Elvis for this role…… Jamie Aaron Kelley who starred as Elvis in the Canadian Broadway type show, Elvis Story. He\’s the closest you are ever going to get to the voice, moves, personality and onstage/screen sex appeal. The selection of this director is wonderful! I\’m an Elvis fan of over 50 years and am really looking forward to a film that does justice to Elvis Presley.
