Rock 'n Roll Veteran Lou Volpano Unveils “Searching for Elvis” Screenplay

Classic Rock Producer and entertainment veteran Lou Volpano announced the release of his new musical comedy screenplay, “Searching for Elvis©.” Drawing on an illustrious career that spanned nearly five decades including producing concerts for iconic bands and managing the Blues Brothers Movie production, Volpano brings a unique perspective to the rock 'n roll genre with this latest work. The screenplay presents an imaginative scenario where Elvis Presley, having faked his death, struggles to reclaim his fame from Las Vegas, where he lives in anonymity and financial turmoil.

“Searching for Elvis” weaves a narrative filled with humor and the absurd, depicting Elvis as an unemployed has-been, grappling with debt and failed attempts at being a karate teacher and a jewelry salesman. In a year that Volpano calls “Elvis-year,” the screenplay aims to stand out by combining elements of musical comedy reminiscent of “The Blues Brothers,” with the real-life rock 'n roll experiences of its creator. Volpano's deep connections to the music industry and firsthand knowledge of its quirks and comedy, as noted by Muhammad Ali's philosophy that “The truth is the funniest joke of all,” form the foundation of this comical exploration into the life of the King of Rock 'n Roll.
