Elvis Presley movie UPDATE: What's happening to biopic after Tom Hanks' coronavirus news

“I have spoken to the premier, Annastacia Palasczczuk, and we all agree that right now, this is the right time for people all over the world, from all walks of life, to be at home, indoors, with their loved ones (washing our hands five times a day),” Lurhmann continued.

“All going well, we have a passionate conviction to be back here on the Gold Coast, picking up where we left off as soon as the time is right.”

Tom and his wife Rita were quarantined in their home in Australia after testing positive for coronavirus earlier this month.

They were in Australia for pre-production on the Elvis biopic, in which the Forrest Gump star is playing the King’s manager Colonel Tom Parker.
