AceShowbiz - Ever imagined that Elvis Presley and President Richard Nixon could act ridiculous? Well, then you have to watch Liza Johnson's "Elvis & Nixon". Amazon Studios has now released the first trailer for the comedy movie that focuses on the two's awkward meeting on December 21, 1970, during which Presley was sworn in as an undercover agent in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
That morning, the King of Rock 'n' Roll showed up on the lawn of the White House to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Nixon. Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon plays Elvis Presley, while two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey stars as Richard Nixon.
The movie recounts the untold true story behind this revealing, yet humorous moment in the Oval Office forever immortalized in the most requested photograph in the National Archives.
Also starring Colin Hanks, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny Knoxville, Evan Peters, Ashley Benson and Tate Donovan among others, the film will open in limited U.S. theaters on April 15.
