Listen: R.Kelly Releases New Single In The Style Of Barry White

Good ol’ R.Kelly has released a new single, ‘Share My Love‘ just in time for Valentine’s Day, which is a couple of weeks away. He has written and produced the song, and it is supposed to be an indication of what his upcoming album ‘Write Me Back‘ will be like, which is due out in [...]

Lisa Marie Presley is in discussions to do a film about her dad, Elvis Presley, the HUGE rock ‘n’ roll icon. This year is the 35th anniversary of Elvis’ death, so the film would be aptly timed. She imagines something like ‘Walk the Line,‘ the Johnny Cash biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix. Read on for more of the details.

Lisa Marie, though extremely well known, and the heir to her father’s (massive) estate, doesn’t often talk publicly or give interviews. She was in the public eye this week though attending the opening of a new exhibition, “Elvis Through His Daughter’s Eyes,” at Graceland, her father’s Memphis home until his death in 1977. Lisa Marie lived there until she was 5, when her mother, Priscilla, divorced Elvia. She did however talk a bit about the potential for an upcoming biopic on her father’s life, and it sounded like it really could be something she would want to be involved in because she isn’t happy with how her father has always been portrayed.

“There’s not been anything done properly with him yet, you know, that has satisfied me in terms of capturing everything…It will happen, though. There can be a sort of cheesy take on him, which I don’t always love sometimes – you know, the later years and that whole thing with his white jumpsuit,” she said. “Now I’m probably over it. But I mean it was kind of running wild for a while. It was a little bit cringe-worthy.

The pic below is an old one I dug out of a baby Lisa Marie with Elvis and mom, Priscilla, from 1968.

I for one hope that Lisa Marie takes on this project and works with them to develop the Elvis biopic because it would give the film a much more personal edge. If her aim is to make it reminiscent of Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix, I think this is pretty exciting. I’m not sure if it means that she will star in the film or assist with the project from the back-end. Either way, I’m quite excited and hope that this project actually does happen. Who do you think would be cast in the lead role and play Elvis?
