Cailee Spaeny (Mare of Easttown, Devs) transforms into Priscilla Presley in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla. The first trailer shows Spaeny as Priscilla meeting Elvis Presley and falling madly in love. Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, The Kissing Booth) takes on the role of Elvis.
Baz Luhrmann’s 2022 critically acclaimed Elvis brought the couple’s story to life on the screen with Austin Butler and Olivia DeJonge. Elvis, obviously, focused on the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, while Coppola’s Priscilla tells the story of Elvis’s first love.
The film is based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 memoir Elvis and Me, with Sofia Coppola adapting the book and directing. Dagmara Dominczyk (Succession) also stars, and Coppola, Lorenzo Mieli, and Youree Henley serve as producers.
Coppola’s behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Philippe Le Sourd, production designer Tamara Deverell, editor Sarah Flack, costume designer Stacey Battat, and music supervisor Randall Poster. The film’s score is by Phoenix.
A24’s targeting an October 2023 theatrical release.
The Plot:
When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.
