‘Elvis Evolution’ Show Delayed Until March 2025
The previous announced immersive experience show 'Elvis Evolution’ initially to premiere in the UK in November 2024 has now been rescheduled for March 2025. Although no formal announcement has been made regarding the schedule change the official website now indicates the new 2025 date.
Layered Reality, the creators of the forthcoming event has recently announced a strategic partnership with Technicolor Group, home of The Mill. The agreement will see the partnership work on several projects including using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to create a realistic and authentic version of Elvis.
Layered Reality Studios has recently welcomed world-class talent to bring back the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, including Executive Producer Oran Doyle (Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience, Stranger Things: The Experience); Digital Producer Catherine Hayward (Commonwealth Games); Production Manager Al Parkinson (Royal National Theatre, Cameron Mackintosh); Technical Director Ollie Jeffrey (Royal Albert Hall) and Producer Sophie Scotchford (Eurovision 2023).
Mark Benson, President, The Mill says “We are very excited about the potential for our partnership with Layered Reality and helping to put Elvis back in the building. We are tasked with bringing Elvis back digitally by collecting and ingesting images and film archive clips to train AI models on Elvis’s face so we can recreate famous Elvis live performances. The Mill’s outstanding creative and tech talent will once again push the boundaries of what is possible, to deliver an extraordinary, authentic and thrilling theatrical event.”
In January this year Layered Reality announced they had secured the global licensing rights to create ‘Elvis Evolution’ from the owners of Elvis’ estate Authentic Brands Group. The immersive experience will bring the global musical icon back through the power of AI, augmented reality, live theatre and multi-sensory effects in a celebration of his life and legacy.
The initially announcement made earlier this year indicated the show would follow to Las Vegas after the premiere in London, however recent press releases have not provided any updates regarding shows outside of London. With the new date for London slated for March 2025 it is assumed if the show will extend beyond the UK that it won’t be until later into 2025.
