John Boel, winner of 102 Emmys and 15 Murrows, has devoted much of his life to storytelling. He stays busy anchoring the evening newscasts on WAVE-TV and investigative reporting. And, in his free time, he fishes and writes. His first book, On the News…In the News, published in 2011, delves into his powerful and intensely painful journey from the public shame of two high-profile DUI arrests through recovery and self-discovery, and it spent three months on the Louisville best-seller list. His second book, Cast Away: Five Generations of Family Fish Stories, was released in August with rave reviews.

A thoroughly cinematic drama, Elvis’s (Butler) story is seen through the prism of his complicated relationship with his enigmatic manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks).

Central to that journey is one of the significant and influential people in Elvis’s life, Priscilla Presley (Olivia DeJonge).
