We all know how much he loves movie soundtracks, so guess what's in store next? A movie with Elvis in it! ;)

hmmm.........wonder what movies will require martial arts, moto-cross biking and skating skills?

I'm guessing he'll be doing his own stunts. :wink:

Good luck Elvis, whatever you do! :)

He has already been in one! I saw an interview between him and Pamela Wallen. He is the double for Robin Williams in "Death to Smoochy". He had to teach Robin how to do all of the upper body work, to match what he did on the ice.

During a wrap, the two of them started talkin and Elvis mentioned that he has always wanted to be in a Stars Wars movie. All Robin said was "he had connections". Next thing you know, last day of filming, Robin gives Elvis 5 boxes wrapped with bows. It was jammed packed with Star Wars collector items, books, tapes etc....you name it, it was in there!

When and if you go see it, you'll have to watch for the skating sequence!
