Rose Byrne stars as an Elvis Presley impersonator in the first-look image from new musical comedy Seriously Red 🔯— and it's safe to say, we're all shook up over her 🌃transformation.

The photo sees Byrne — you'll have to take our word for it — sporting a black, immaculately coiffed hairpiece, a jazzy suiꦫt jacket, and a microphone as her "Elvis" performs alongside "Dolly Parton" (played by writer-and-star Krew Boylan).

"Rose is a chameleon, she completely embodied Elvis. I didn'💟t even recognize her when she stepped on stage in character. It was magic," director Gracie Otto told the publication. "This was one of the first scenes we filmed with Rose and Krew Boylan as Dolly. Together they brought energy and charisma to the scene."
Featuring a whole bunch of Parton's greatest hits, the movie c💯enters♏ on Red (Boylan), a flame-haired estate agent who packs in her 9 to 5 job, and sets out to break into the world of showbiz as a Dolly Parton impersonator.
As she settles into a life on the road, surrounded by a bunch of messy artis✤ts, Red strikes up a romance with Wilson (Bobby Cannav🎶ale), who has his own Kenny Rodgers act.
