WATCH: Elvis & Nixon Trailer
As far as we're concerned, Kevin Spacey has mastered his presidential performing skills in Netflix's House of Cards and we are very much intrigued to see Michael Shannon as 'The King'.
The premise of the story sounds suspiciously like a hoax but the meeting of US President Richard Nixon and Elvis Presley in 1970 did happen.
In December of 1970, Presley orchestrated a meeting between him and President Nixon in order for him to join the fight against Communism and become a legion member of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Ironic, huh?
Spacey and Shannon will recreate this bizarre encounter and the lead up to it in Elvis & Nixon. The film will also star Colin Hanks, Johnny Knoxville and Sky Ferreira and will hit screens on July 24.
