This Saturday, Elvis Presley would have been seventy-six years old. And Vivid Entertainment has a present for the late sweet-toothed crooner. It's Elvis XXX: A Porn Parody, the latest from future AVF Hall of Famer Axel Braun. And let's just get it out of the way: Ron Jeremy's in it. Because if "The Hedgehog" isn't in it, it doesn't really count, does it?
Two adult actors will portray Elvis at different ages, with Dale DaBone getting stuck with the part of the "less slender" 1970s Elvis. The film is a fictionalized version of Elvis' life, so Elvis diehards sniffing sacrilege can rest easy. Vivid continues to be a juggernaut in the adult industry, and capitalizing on the beloved singer will only add to their bottom line. All pre-release copies of the DVD have apparently already been sold. Crass commercialism aside, I think Elvis probably would have gotten a kick out of this.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done sooner. In spite of his wild rock-star lifestyle, maybe he was too sacrosanct for pornographers.
Given Elvis's religiosity, I doubt he would've gotten a kick out of this. As is the case with the book "Elvis, What Happened?" he probably would've felt ashamed and tried to stop it, or knowing that he couldn't do that, he might have tried to laugh it off and ignore it.
As for myself, I won't be looking for the movie, unless they portray Elvis as a rapist of his underage fans. The Alanna Nash book was good enough for me.
