A24’s released the official trailer for Priscilla, which currently sits at 95% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. The drama delves into the life of Priscilla Presley from age 14, when she met Elvis, to age 24 when she moved out of Graceland.
Cailee Spaeny (Mare of Easttown, Devs) transforms into Priscilla Presley and Jacob Elordi (Euphoria, The Kissing Booth) stars as the King of Rock and Roll.
Priscilla‘s based on the bestselling memoir Elvis and Me, and was adapted and directed by Sofia Coppola.
“Reading Priscilla’s story for the first time, I was struck by how relatable her story was even in such an unusual setting, and how we saw her as such a striking figure next to Elvis, but she wasn’t looked at beyond that,” stated Coppola in production notes provided by A24. “Priscilla was mainly seen in the world of entertainment tabloids as ‘Elvis’s child bride’ but I felt there was a much more interesting story to tell — about a girlish wish that came true but wasn’t what she imagined, about coming-of-age inside both incredible fame and great loneliness, about how people learn to live inside of bubbles and also feel the need to burst them, about the strength it took to for her to realize that as much as she loved Elvis, she had to go.
Elvis was such a vital part of American cultural history, but Priscilla’s life is equally part of that history.”
Priscilla opens in theaters on November 3, 2023.

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 vulnerable 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.
