History is about to get all shook up
Wild animated show Agent Elvis sees the singer fight crime across time
FROM THE AUSTIN Butler-fronted biopic to Sofia Coppola’s upcoming Presley project, Elvis is currently always on Hollywood’s mind. Yet a zany new animated Netflix series — co-created by Priscilla herself — is set to show the gyrating icon like never before. “The singular king of rock ’n’ roll lives a double life fighting crime and saving the world, with the help of a coked-up monkey with a shotgun,” summarises Agent Elvis showrunner Mike Arnold. And if that isn’t enough to get you all in a frenzy, Elvis is voiced by another icon of cool: Matthew McConaughey. “He jumped deep into it, recording himself on his cell phone trying lines, to really get a rhythm going,” Arnold tells Empire.
