But it Is also a lovs story concerning the pubUc and their entertainment field idol. We teel es If the film will capture all of this flavor and we wUl ehow how such love affaire can shoot someens to the top and at the same time wear them down.” Owensby said, "We’ve gone a different route with our etory. Inetead of the ueual ehow buetneae rage to riches atcry, we begin 'The Living Legend' with the hero 30 years Into his career and etUl going strong. Hie characters are so much more complex and even battle-scarred by that time.” The producer-actor waa asked (certainly for the umpteenth time) la "The Uvlng Legend” really the Elvla Presley story. "Accor«fing to the traces a producer In Hollywood Is planning to do the HUvls story,” Owensby said. "Thla la really funny, becauae our picture has been referred to by Joumallsta and TV com mentators all along as the stoiy of Elvla. And I have answered over and over again we are not doing the Elvis story. And always these people come back with 'yeah, 1 know, but In this story about Elvis, are you going to do thua and so?’ So, you see other people are aaytaig this. Not us." "The Living Legend” will contain a number of brand new senga, which will be done In scenes at concerts. In rehearsal session at the hero's mansion and In recording aesslan acenas.
