In this special edition of Artists to Watch Las Vegas, we sit down with Jonathan Redmond, the Academy Award–nominated editor behind Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis and the new concert film EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert.Redmond takes us inside the extraordinary discovery that sparked the film: 69 boxes — nearly 60 hours — of unseen Elvis Presley concert footage, buried for decades inside Warner Bros. vaults stored deep in underground Kansas salt mines. Originally uncovered during research for Elvis (2022), the footage was so powerful and revealing that it ultimately demanded its own standalone cinematic experience.Rather than presenting a traditional documentary or a standard concert film, EPiC reimagines Elvis’s story as what Luhrmann describes as a “cinematic poem” — a dreamlike experience where Elvis sings, performs, and tells his own story in his own voice. The film blends electrifying performances from the early 1970s with newly restored, unheard recordings of Elvis reflecting on his life, his music, and his journey, revealing moments of humor, warmth, and vulnerability rarely seen on screen.Redmond discusses the painstaking two-year restoration process, scanning the original film at 4K and rebuilding sound from unconventional and fragmented sources — all achieved through meticulous human craftsmanship at a time when artificial intelligence can easily fabricate illusions. The result is an authentic, big-screen experience that presents Elvis at the height of his powers while allowing audiences to connect with the man behind the myth.Beyond Elvis fandom, this conversation serves as a masterclass in editing and storytelling. Redmond shares insight for students and creators facing massive amounts of footage, tight deadlines, and a blank timeline — explaining how emotion, discovery, and deep familiarity with the material ultimately shape the story.Whether you’re an Elvis fan, a film and music lover, or an aspiring editor, this episode offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how history, technology, and artistry converge to bring one of the greatest performers of all time back to life on screen.Film opens on IMAX on February 20 and everywhere on February 27th
