LAS VEGAS, NV, June 30, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ -- This week marks the official rerelease of David E. Stanley 's extraordinary film 'PROTECTING THE KING'. First released in 2007, 'PROTECTING THE KING' is the personal story of his life on the road with his stepbrother Elvis Presley during the last five self-destructive years of the King's life. "This film is not the Elvis Presley story," says Stanley, who spent seventeen years living, growing up, and working with Elvis from 1960 to his untimely death in 1977. "That story is beautifully told in the recently released multi-million-dollar budget film ELVIS, directed by Baz Luhrmann," Stanley adds.
