The first details of “Priscilla”, the film in which Sofia Coppola works

When Sofia Coppola opened an Instagram account on October 14, it was made official that the director is working on a film about the life of Priscilla Presley, actress and wife of Elvis Presley. “Back to work! Excited to tell the story of Priscilla,” she had written in those days next to an image of a script and a book by the iconic American couple. Since then, the vast majority of Coppola’s publications have been around the film in question, giving clues, showing behind the scenes, or simply expressing how much she is inspired by Priscilla’s glamour and spirit.” I’m excited to do something rooted in that style of American history for the first time. And Priscilla is an icon of glamour par excellence,” said the director of The Virgin Suicides (1999) and Marie Antoinette (2006). She added: “I was so interested in Priscilla’s story and her perspective on how it felt growing up as a teenager at Graceland. I was going through all the stages of youth in such an amplified world, something similar to what I was able to do with Marie Antoinette.” After the success “Elvis”, the biopic starring Austin Butler and directed by Baz Luhrmann, from Hollywood they have decided that it is time to tell the life (and the version) of the woman who met the King of Rock and Roll at age 14 and married him at 21.
“Priscilla is such a minor character in that (Baz Luhrmann’s) movie that I never felt like I was stepping on the same territory. I love that people liked his Elvis movie so much, and now, in a few years, there will be another movie about Priscilla. I think it will be interesting to have two completely different interpretations of the same events and time period,” he explained Coppola.Si while the film does not yet have a release date, it is already known that actress Cailee Spaeny (Erin McMenamin in Mare of Easttown) will put herself in the shoes of Priscilla, and that Jacob Elordi, known for his role as Nate Jacobs in Euphoria, He will play the legend of rock.
