Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby) says there might be a surprise coming when asked about Britney and her connection with Elvis


Recommended Posts

Sooooooooooo what was the surprise? :wyd_wtf_meme_hand_umm_wth_what_the_hell: I watched the movie yesterday and there was nothing involving Britney, unless I missed something...

Or maybe he meant similarities with how Elvis's manager treated him, and not allowed him to go on a world tour, and locked him up in Vegas residencies and blackmailed him to still have him as his manager? I might seem some parallels here but other then that I don't think there was anything else concerning Britney :flop_britney_candies:

Omg same here! I thought I was the only one but it is indeed there as I sat through the credits thinking maybe they add it there and toxic is listed in the music credits. 
 

I totally agree with you on how it parallel Britney’s life too. I was thinking of Larry Rudolph working Britney to the bone too for her whole entire career.

‘Elvis’: Why Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ Is Combined With ‘Viva Las Vegas’ in the Film

Baz Luhrmann compared Elvis Presley’s ‘Viva Las Vegas’ to Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’

 “All those things are not me just trying to be hip or something,” he said. “When Elvis goes to Hollywood, the music he is singing ‘Bossa Nova Baby‘ right, or ‘Viva Las Vegas’ it’s absolutely pop music.”

“And just like Britney, who creates the quintessential ’90s pop music, you’re richer than God and you’re in the Hollywood bubble,” he said.

Why Baz Luhrmann used a Britney Spears mashup instead of just using an Elvis Presley song

Luhrmann revealed he has a positive view of Spears. “I Love Brit Brit and I love ‘Toxic’… but when you’re doing that kind of pop, you’re just in a bubble,” he opined. “And that bubble will break, as it does for Elvis.”
