Well as part of our virtual live tour, we had a chance to ask Graceland expert Angie.
She said: “[The Elvis movie] is actually being shot in Australia. But they have been doing research here. They have recreated Graceland in Australia.”
Presumably, Baz Luhrmann’s production not only researched in the archives to ensure historic accuracy for the Elvis movie but also so they could build parts of Graceland on set just as fans who have visited the mansion remember it.
After all, being the USA’s most visited home after The White House, fans will know if aspects of the main rooms aren’t as they’ve seen them.

The usual on-site tours are now limited due to the pandemic.
These new virtual ventures dig deep into the Elvis fascination to reveal many of his eclectic tastes through his choice of furnishings and style.
Even though he “left the building” for good with his death in 1977, the Elvis passion continues unabated around the world.
“In a typical year, Graceland hosts hundreds of thousands of visitors from more than 125 countries including Canada and all 50 states,” said Debbie Miller of Elvis Presley Enterprises.
These tours are for virtual tourists to enjoy from the comfort of their home and those who have always wanted to visit Graceland but never had the chance, she added.
