Elvis & Nixon

The trailer has arrived, for a somewhat unexpected film starring Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon, to tell the story of when Elvis met Nixon and took one of the most iconic photos of the century. The Tom Jones backing track and the way that the trailer is put together imply that this one is going to be poking fun at itself, which is a risky move; it could be great or it could be awful. With the cast that are taking part, it would be an assumption that this should be a good film, entertaining but not in the sense because it’s rubbish, in the sense of actually being decent; though it could go either way.
