Elvis Presley, starring rising star Austin Butler, was released. The new film focuses on The King's relationship with his controversial manager Colonel Tom Parker, who some fans believe made him the music icon he was, while others believe he held back the singer leading to his untimely demise. When cast in the role, Tom Hanks ended up having dinner with Elvis' ex-wife Priscilla Presley who asserted that the Colonel wasn't the villain some make him out to be.

Tom Hanks raged at aggressive fans after they caused his wife Rita to stumble when they were leaving a restaurant in New York City last week.Since then, some fans have drawn comparisons between the Elvis actor and Will Smith.Last Wednesday night, Tom yelled at a fan after he caused his wife Rita to stumble as they were leaving a restaurant in midtown New York.Tom and Rita were swarmed by movie lovers taking pictures of them as they made their way to a car in the US city that evening, but the fans got a bit too close for comfort.When one fan caused Rita to trip, Tom yelled: “Back the f*** up!“Knocking over my wife?!” the actor asked incredulously.  “Sorry about that Tom!” a couple of the men present at the scene shouted to the movie star.“What are they doing out here?” another asked, as the star was helped into his car.After footage of the incident went viral, a number of people couldn’t help but compare Tom’s actions to Will’s infamous Oscars slap.Plenty of people stood behind Tom, with Mike Sington writing: “Tom Hanks momentarily, and understandably, loses his nice guy persona as over eager fans practically knock over his wife Rita Wilson.” While others claimed Tom had done the right thing in comparison to Will, who slapped comedian Chris Rock on the Oscars stage after he cracked a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.KoldIKonoklas tweeted: “Will Smith should be taking notes.Tom Hanks saw the problem and immediately took control of the situation. “This is how you stop people from messing with your wife. “And not by having a meltdown then slapping the dude in front of a camera for all people to see.”JunkieBigBro penned: “This is how you defend your wife Will Smith.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticDoes the phrase “that’s all right” apply to the new “Elvis” movie… as in, “that’s all correct”? No one is probably expecting that — any practiced watcher of biopics knows virtually any example of the form will take deep liberties with the facts for dramatic purposes. And maybe it’s a given that a director who puts hip-hop and hard rock on the soundtracks for period films, as Baz Luhrmann does, might favor effect over absolute verisimilitude.Still, “Elvis” is right on enough counts — literally or spiritually — that it’s worth trying to separate fact from fiction in the movie’s narrative of Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) and his nearly career-long manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks).
