As you may know, I'm a big fan of Elvis Presley's film career. Anytime I come across one of his movies on TV, I find it impossible to change the channel.

Back in 1970, Elvis made a grand return to performing with a stint in Las Vegas. Since he spent much of the '60s focusing on his movie career, this was a big deal — and it was celebrated with, of course, another movie.

Elvis: That's the Way It Is is a fascinating look at Elvis' preparation for and execution of those Las Vegas shows. The rehearsal footage alone is stunning, as are the scenes that show Elvis interacting with his enthusiastic audiences (mostly made up of adult women).

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has remastered the classic and will screen it in almost 300 theaters this summer, starting with Memphis' Orpheum Theatre. On Aug. 12, the flick arrives on Blu-ray as a two-disc special edition. (A special Blu-ray edition of Elvis' 1964 film, Viva Las Vegas, will also be released Aug. 12.)

I'm thrilled to premiere the new trailer for Elvis: That's the Way It Is. To find out where it's screening near you, head to graceland.com.
