Trailer for Orion: The Man Who Would Be King.

In a small Alabama town, young Jimmy Ellis’s family is grooming him to one day inherit their prominent family horse farm. But Jimmy has other plans. Wanting to become a famous singer, he sets out to follow his own dreams. But the music industry aren’t looking for a singer that sounds exactly like The King, crushing Ellis’s hopes of becoming a singer in his own right. When all seems lost for Ellis’s career, in steps the slick and shady music producer Shelby Singleton. Singleton has a harebrained scheme to recreate Jimmy as the masked singer Orion—who might just be Elvis back from the grave. And so begins this tragic tale of the American dream gone awry from award-winning director Jeanie Finlay (The Great Hip Hop Hoax) of a man with big dreams, plucked from obscurity and thrust into the bright lights of fame.
