Priscilla All the Info
Who’s ready for more Elvis? But hold up, we’re not talking about Elvis 2. Austin Butler has moved to Arrakis (Dune reference, anyone?). There’s some exciting news from the Venice Film Festival – a new Sofia Coppola film about the life of the king’s wife, Priscilla Presley, is causing a stir. It’s been a long wait for this film, and it stars the talented Cailee Spaeny from Mare of Easttown and the heartthrob Jacob Elordi from Euphoria. This will be Elvis’s first big-screen appearance since Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, which wowed us with its nine Academy Award nominations.
Now, if you were hoping for another King-focused tale, Priscilla is about to surprise you. She won’t let anyone else take the spotlight this time. Even though Priscilla praised the previous film for delving into the tumultuous relationship between her ex-husband and Colonel Tom Parker, this time it’s all about her. Presley is an executive producer for the film, and it’s based on her own memoir, the 1985 bestseller “Elvis and Me.”
Let’s dive into the story itself. Priscilla and Elvis first crossed paths during the singer’s military service and eventually tied the knot in 1967. They even had a daughter together, Lisa Marie Presley, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Throughout their marriage, they seemed to have a loving relationship, despite Elvis’s numerous affairs. But hold on to your hats because Priscilla later spilled some harrowing details in her memoir. It’s like living out all the stages of young womanhood in an amplified world, as Sofia Coppola puts it, a bit like Marie Antoinette.
Now, be prepared to hear all about the comparisons between Austin Butler and Jacob Elordi’s portrayals of Elvis. Priscilla won’t be as heavily focused on the music icon as Butler’s film, but it’s still sure to make headlines. Interestingly enough, Elordi once dated model Kaia Gerber, who is now in a romantic relationship with none other than Butler. Talk about a complicated (and ironic) relationship timeline that will surely set the internet on fire.
Mark your calendars for November 3, the release date for “Priscilla.” But before that, be sure to watch the trailer above. Cailee Spaeny might just be on her way to stirring up some major Academy Awards buzz following her Best Actress win in Venice. Get ready for another round of Elvis hysteria!
