Amidst the huge success of the Elvis: Direct from Graceland exhibition at Bendigo Art Gallery, Tyrrell Publicity & Promotions secured the exclusive Victorian Regional Preview of Baz Lurhmann’s big screen spectacle ELVIS for The City of Greater Bendigo.
Team Tyrrell worked closely with Warner Bros. to deliver this epic cinema experience to Bendigo. The VIP Red Carpet event was held a couple of days before the blockbuster film’s worldwide release to cinemas on June 24, 2022 and was a major coup for the town.
The Victorian Regional Preview of ELVIS in Bendigo was amongst four other Premieres around the world, including the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and an exclusive Premiere on the Gold Coast – where the Warner Bros. film was made.
Held at the Bendigo Cinemas, the showcase event hosted over 300 VIP guests and was a tremendous community celebration in what is now considered – Elvis’s spiritual home in Australia!
