Bana & Huston Are Nixon & Elvis??

Eric Bana has signed on to play Elvis Presley and Danny Huston is in talks to play President Richard M. Nixon in "Elvis and Nixon," says THR

The movie will highlight a December 21st, 1970 visit that Presley paid to Nixon during his administration. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. Presley brought with him family photos and a Colt 45 pistol as a personal gift to the president.

Actor Cary Elwes wrote the screenplay with Joey Sagal and Hanala Sagal. Elwes will also call action on the pic

Michael Benaroya Holly Wiersma will produce while Bana is set to serve as an executive producer

The movie will film in Shreveport, La., and Los Angeles.

The pic seems quite the oddity for the pricipals to take on...Hmmm
