Bloom just confirmed Oscar winner Kevin Spacey and Oscar nominee Michael Shannon have been cast to star in the dramatic film Elvis & Nixon. Shannon will be playing rock and roll legend Elvis Presley while Spacey will take on the role of President Richard Nixon in a film based on true events.
Elvis & Nixon has Liza Johnson (Hateship Loveship) attached to direct. Joey Sagal, Hanala Sagal, and Cary Elwes wrote the script.
“It’s almost hard to fathom this story which evolved in the oval office between these two extraordinary men. It’s almost too good to be true,” said BLOOM’S Alex Walton.
“After the enormous success of The Butler I have a deep affection for films set in the White House as does the public. To work with Shannon and Spacey on this movie at the height of their careers is a dream come true,” added producer Cassian Elwes.
The Plot:
Two men at the height of their powers, conscious they could not stay on top forever, both ripped with fear of the inevitable, sharing one famous private moment in the Oval office. Elvis & Nixon recounts the morning of December 21st 1970, when the King of Rock’ n Roll (Michael Shannon) showed up on the White House lawn to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Richard Nixon (Kevin Spacey). He had a very urgent request: to be sworn in as an undercover Federal Agent at large. This intimate moment in the Oval office between two men at the height of their powers has never been told.
