“Reinventing Elvis: The ’68 Comeback” will premiere Aug. 15 on Paramount+. The documentary about the King of Rock ’n’ Roll is a behind-the-scenes look at the game-changing December 1968 TV special that became the most-watched TV event of that year. Elvis wore a black leather suit and was so mesmerizing, he literally restarted his career — before millions. Prior to its streaming debut, the documentary will have a brief theatrical release worldwide.
