Return of the King: The Fall & Rise of Elvis Presley is set to premiere on Netflix on Wednesday (November 13). The new documentary is directed by Jason Hehir, and it presents a more vulnerable side of the music legend. The film focuses on the story behind Presley’s celebrated 1968 comeback TV special, Elvis, which aired on NBC. The program injected new life into Elvis’ sagging music career after critics proclaimed him to be finished commercially and culturally. “Hollywood’s image of me was wrong and I knew it, and I couldn’t do anything about it,” Elvis reflects in a clip from the documentary. The film also features interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Baz Luhrmann, Billy Corgan, Conan O’Brien and others. “As a fan I’ve always wondered why he didn’t do more to satisfy his musical ambitions, and as a filmmaker I’ve always wondered how much it hurt Elvis the human to see Elvis the icon fade into obscurity,” says director Hehir.
