“Elvis,” starring Austin Butler as the king of rock and roll, tells the story of the performer’s quick ascent to popularity through the eyes of Colonel Tom Parker, his manager (played by Tom Hanks). With Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner, Luhrmann co-wrote the screenplay. With “Moulin Rouge” and “The Great Gatsby,” he has mastered the art of on-screen grandeur.

Younger audiences, who might only have a passing familiarity with a now-mythic character like Presley, are the target market for “The Black Phone.” “The Black Phone,” which features Ethan Hawke as a masked serial murderer who kidnaps and torments a teenage boy, was made by “Doctor Strange” director Scott Derrickson.
