(February 8, 2001 – New York, NY) – Warner Bros. Pictures presents an unprecedented viewing experience at its website (www.3kmtg.com [2]) for the upcoming action thriller “3000 Miles to Graceland”: a dazzling display of cutting-edge flash animation, “The Road to Graceland” is a trilogy of three featurettes which serve as prequels to the film about a gang of ex-cons who steal millions from a Las Vegas casino by posing as Elvis impersonators. Their heist is a success, but growing dissention and greed among the thieves leads to betrayal, chaos and murder. Voiced by stars Kevin Costner, Christian Slater, Howie Long and Bokeem Woodbine, “The Road to Graceland” trilogy – exclusive to the website – establishes the backstory to the film and the history behind its characters.
