LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5 (UPI) -- Kevin Spacey and Michael Shannon have begun work on their big-screen comedy Elvis & Nixon, which is based on a true story.

The first photo of the actors as their respective characters -- U.S. President Richard Nixon and rock 'n' roll icon Elvis Presley -- was released Thursday. It shows the pair sitting together, face-to-face in the White House.

Bloom, the production company backing the movie, promises director Liza Johnson's film will recreate "an intimate meeting in the Oval Office between two men at the height of their powers."

Cassian Elwes and Holly Wiersma are producing with Autumn Pictures' David Hansen and Johnny Mac financing and executive producing alongside Byron Wetzel, Robert Ogden Barnum and Jerry Schilling.
