3000 Miles to Graceland is a 2001 thriller film, starring Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner, Courteney Cox Arquette, David Arquette, Bokeem Woodbine, Daisy McCrackin, Christian Slater, and Kevin Pollak. It is a story of theft and betrayal, revolving around a plot to rob the Riviera Casino during a convention of Elvis impersonators in Las Vegas.
Prior to the film's opening, Warner Bros. released a series of animated prequels voiced by stars Kevin Costner, Christian Slater, Howie Long and Bokeem Woodbine. "The Road to Graceland" prequels marked the first time a major film’s cast members contributed their talents to the creation of original internet content for a movie website.
The film was nominated for several 2001 Golden Raspberry Awards. Many people thought that the nominations were not neccesary and there were much worse movies that were released that year.
One of the ways the film was promoted was when actor David Arquette joined World Championship Wrestling and won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. A promo was shot in the set of the movie with Courtney and Kurt.
