Tom Hanks was in Australia for the shoot of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic. The film, which also stars Austin Butler, sees Tom as manager of The King of Rock 'N' Roll - Colonel Tom Parker. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the pre- production of the movie has been halted because a ‘company member’ has been tested positive for coronavirus and is currently receiving treatment.
On the other hand, Rita performed her songs from her latest album, Halfway to Home at Brisbane's Emporium Hotel and even made her debut at Sydney Opera House.
